Basketball challenge

[Gobblerman]

Uncle!!  Like a 200 pound dead carp,...I'm slowly sinking to the bottom!  It has become quite clear that I had better stick to turkey hunting (and hope I have better luck than I do in this thing).  My last feeble goal of beating you, Sailfish, is rapidly being sucked down the old kabobber.  Now I'm just hoping that I don't come in dead last! 
 
Thanks for dragging me into this "March Madness" thing, Dude!

Ha!
 
The bracket game is fun (as long as your not eliminated early) and gives 3 4-day weekends of something different to look forward to. Checking your bracket, some scores, even rooting for some team that you don't even know what their mascot is.
 
I actually moved to 22nd not 26 [&:] and also I too have been mathematically removed from any chance of winning. I think in the perfect scenario I can actually get 2nd. However, after being at the bottom for the whole tourney, anything in the top 10 would make me happy [:D]

Ok, here we are with only one weekend left!
I am rooting for UNC, and hopefully a top 5 finish.
What stinks is looking at the picks you already made and say "Why did I do that one!" or "This one" etc.
 
It'll certainly play with your mind
