I will reiterate, if anyone has a lower score then me, then be prepared to be laughed at - not because I picked bad, but because you lost to my dice rolls.

Now I have to go see how bad I can screw up my fantasy baseball

Fantasy baseball??? Are you nuts?

I learned my lesson with fantasy baseball a couple of years ago. Waayy too much micromanagement there. After about 100 games I just didnt care anymore.

I'll wait patiently for NFL season to come around again. :wink:

I'm on vacation too. Thanks for participating in the lemur exchange program. Go Gators! (Is that NCAA? I honestly don't know. They say that a lot down here, anyway...Cheers.)

The Gators did not make it into the finals this year, but since they won the whole enchilada last year, I forgive them. Hope you are enjoying the Sunshine State. I ordered up this nice weather especially for you. High today - 70 degrees.

You weren't the only one that used dice rolls. I've been using them for my brackets for years, they usually do a better job than they have this year...

You use high low, or used weighted rolls depending on how the team is ranked?

This year I used the d100, I assigned a number to the lower seed based on the difference between the seeds for a particular matchup.

For an 8 vs 9, the 8 would get 1 to 53 and the 9 would get 54 to 00. For a 1 vs 16, the 1 would get 1 to 99 and the 16 can only win with a roll of 00. The rest of the differences are proportionally assigned somewhere between 53 and 99.

Can they tell you to kill Davidson, Plaag? They can stop winning now.

Hey, the commissioner is winning! Woot!

Well, for now ... now we start running into some places where my bracket is already crossed out. That's not good.

I did not sign up for the pool, but that Davidson - Kansas game last night was a great game!

Anything that ends with a point spread of just one hoop is amazing! I was almost expecting another 20 point blow-out after hearing all the "experts" talk about the Kansas unbeatable defense. Davidson played with a ton of skill and a lot of heart!!!
