Title: 2019 Pellet Fan March Madness
Post by: Bentley on February 18, 2019, 12:53:11 AM
Almost that time of year!  Love to have you play, hope I can get out of 2nd round this year!

The prize this year (assuming the winner wants it) is Koji Rice for a different way to get Dry Aged beef in days, not weeks!

"BUMP" :cool:
Hope we get more than just 6 of us...Join the fun in watching how fast one can go from first to last in the first day and then back to the top at the end...Don't need to know anything about basketball, just how to pick a team. :help:

P.S. Hope the rice isn't deterring anyone from joining the fun.

I read somewhere that someone was offering a million dollars to anyone that got every game right.

Warren Buffett does that every year

Will have to ponder it over night and see if I wanna get screw by the Cavaliers for the 3rd year in a row!  It is hard trying to be a Homer!

Thanks for setting this up.  I will fill out a bracket.

I thought I wasn't going to have to worry about that this year but the Ducks went on to win 4 games in 4 nights to win the Pac 12 auto bid. So one side of my bracket may have me  :rotf:

All done!  Now I get a few days  of day dreaming that my picks are perfect and I am going to win it all!! :pig:

I've completed my bracket but am having some second thoughts on a few of my picks, can I change them before the tournament starts?

I have to consult ESPN's bracket contest before doing the Yahoo one, as Yahoo's don't include venue location for the games. Hey, I have to be serious about this, $1 million buys a lot of meat and pellets(and mama a new house, lol)  ;)

so far its 1 and 539,178 to win the $1,000,000 :cool: Sure that will change by the second or faster. It went up over 5000 when I was typing this...

OK, this is my 15 minutes of glory and I must take it.  First place!!!  Yeah :cool:  This will most likely last only until the next round so I must make the most of it!

Right!  1st day assessment, almost came up with the upset Villanova V St Mary's, but Nova pulled it out by 4 in the end.  A mild upset, Florida V Nevada, and the Murray St V Marquette & Seaton Hall V Woford picks were just throwing darts that did not pay off!

Well, my bracket "fresh meat" is aptly named; I somehow missed all four 7-10 games.....

From 3rd to 9th in about 3 hours!

Post by: Bentley on March 29, 2019, 10:23:15 PM
Well, the best I can do is 2nd as Kristin obviously glamed on to my picks and also took the Cavs to win it all!  So will see if that pans out!

It was a blow to see one of my Final Four go down.  Don't know why I am still in first -- everyone should prepare, this may be a sign of the end of days.

Well, my only hope at this point is that both Duke and Kentucky lose.

Came into the weekend feelin pretty good.....gonna leave the weekend with a limp and whimper, and if I had a tail it would firmly be placed between my legs as I slowly back out of the room.  Yep, March Madness will do that to folks....  But hey, at least 15 of us still have our cooking to fall back on.  Haha.

OK, as we all know the cream rises!  So, if I can get Michigan St to win one more and UVA to win two I get the Koji!

So someone explain how yesterday before either game, I have a possible 149 points and Kristin has 148, we make the exact same pick in the final 2 game and after it is all over, she has more points?

That was very nice of you!  I guess she had Gonzaga beating Mich St, and I thought she had Mich St against UVA like me, only way I could of won is is Mich St had beat TT!

Congrats to Kristin!  I was just one pick away from victory, maybe next...  Thanks to all that played, it does make it fun!

Phrett made a good run at the end and ended up in 3rd place!
