1. It was rigged!

Well, at least I didn't finish in last place!

[Hokie]

2. If it was rigged Lousiville would have won!

Lousiville and Pttsburgh killed a lot of brackets.

[joeybee12]

4. I don't know why I picked Pittsburgh. They have a history of

under-acheiving in the tournament. Oh well, the hell of UNC winning again is at least over.

[Bluzmann57]

3. I'm no. 3!

That's the best finish ever in an NCAA pool. Well, like my beloved Cubbies, there's always next year.

[Hokie]

5. Rules to remember next year

1. Conference tournaments mean squat.
2. Do not pick Wake Forest, ever.
3. Pittsburgh will under perform.
4. Rick Pitino is overrated.
5. Talent makes coaches look good.
6. Read rule #5.

[Condem]

6. Remember, Hokie

The College Football Bowl Pool. I'll remind you on BCS Selection Sunday. Less than five months until the first game.

[Hokie]

11. For Sure

I will be ready for that.

[cboy4]

7. Wow, El Supremo got buried.

What a disgrace.

[El Supremo]

10. And you chickened out and didn't play.

What a coward.

[cboy4]

12. I don't do brackets or play fantasy games because I'm

always miserable rooting for players and teams that I loathe.

Maybe you should adopt that position, because your performance was a sports forum embarrassment.

8. We were doing this for money, right?

:)

[cboy4]

9. I can't believe no money was involved.

It's Un-American.
