Today could be the day...

Today could be the day I give up my lead...if North Carolina beats Oklahoma, Jimmy and Katie pass me soooooo Go Sooners!!!!

Thurs. results

Results are updated for thursday night's games...yes mom, your still number one...

Is there a "Booby prize" for the LEAST games correct??

I think the world is coming to an end.

I tied for first place in the other pool I'm in too. Something is very wrong.

Is your final four still intact?

These people have lost at least one of theirs...

Meg

Michelle

Natalie

Julie P

Julie won a playoff game!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time ever!

She had two great looks at the basket but didn't get the roll. We beat a coach that has been pretty harsh on our girls so it was kind of sweet. Jimmy was brilliant with his coaching as usual. Thanks Daddy DoDo.

The playoff game is at 1:00 tomorrow, during the SU game! We'll be DVR'ing it.

We're off to get our first foster cat!

#12 AZ vs. #13 Clev St.???? Who could have guessed that?

Oh yeah, me! Plus Kevin H and Julie P, the other basketball gurus!!!

Sorry Kevin & Meg

The Cleveland St upset was particularly unkind to you too. I'm actually surprised at how many of us called it though: Sue, Michelle, Kevin H, Amy, Mike the Matriarch, Adam & Julie P. 

FYI: All of Round 1 has been updated on the pool

who saw #7 BC losing?

meg, sue, morford, michelle, katie, nat, adam, rick

who saw #5 Utah losing?

meg, sue, morford, brian, kevin H, sis, nat, sarah, jack, julie, kevin D and bobby...wow, who didn't!

SU / SFA

So, who actually got to watch the game. I didn't. Rick got to see about 35 minutes.

who saw #6 West Virginia losing?

That would be the 3 visionaries in the group...ME!, Julie and Mike F. Michelle, hurry up and update the scores!

Who picked the upsets?

Who picked the 2 upsets yesterday? #5 Illinois losing ...Mike & Sue, Brian, Jen, Amy, Natalie...#7 Clemson losing...Mike D, Mike F, Jack, Bobby, Jimmy, Kevin, Rick, Julie

Here's a little spanish for you

Down dose with ocho minutos "left". They got this game.

Because Brian knows NO Spanish...

If any of you are wondering what the words "Queme los barcos." mean on the back of Michigan's warm ups, it means "Burn the ships."

To understand what it really "means", click here.

Nova down ten Brian....

Shelby Metcalf, basketball coach at Texas A&M, recounting what he told a player who received four F's and one D: "Son, looks to me like you're spending too much time on one subject." (1987)

I know it's early but...

The poll currently is supporting my claim about Jen's current lack of being a winner. Also, i'm currently 100% on my picks (aka. 3 for 3) so that currently makes me a winner.

Kudos!

YAY MICHELLE!

P.S. Don't forget to answer the poll question on the right column :)

The inspiration email thread (or string?)

Sis: Julie did a wonderful job choosing the winning team! She was more loyal than the alum!

Brian: I'm going to go out on a limb to guess that Jack does better with his bracket then Julie does...

Amy: This proves you're smart enough to be a doctor!

Brian: We got a comedian in the family. Very funny. In case people are going to be busy for the start of the Syracuse game, you can get streaming HD coverage at http://mmod.ncaa.com/. Good luck with everyone's bracket. As for Jen and Jess: You are both losers and Villanova is going to be the winner! Wait, sorry. That was rude. Let me switch that around for you. Villanova is a winner, you two are going to be losers. 

Amy: Michelle, I think it's time for a "smack board". Make that happen ...

Princess Katie: Unless of course you work for Aetna and they block all streaming video!

Mike the Matriarch: I think it was a very patriotic choice Julie...well done :-) It ought to be an interesting next few days in the Wilber family! ... Looks like we have at least TWO comedians in the family Brian... don't you have some studying to do??????????????? Ridiculous that Nova gets to play in Philly this week-end, isn't it? Have fun with this everyone. 

Jen in a winner: Vill NO FUN will not make it to the final four, Brian! Even though the Fletchers have a winner and loser, we'll both beat you out in the brackets. Jessie will beat you in this one, Brian! Haha :) Let the games begin: I'm keeping my laptop on my reading table so I can check the scores as the kids read! Have fun! 

Amy: MICHELLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE NEED A SMACK BOARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
