I agonized over a few conferences to maybe find some upsets, but in OVC, I pretty much green-lit Belmont without a second thought. Similar things happen to me every year.
I'm beginning to think that the next time you set up one of these little games and I even THINK about participating, you should just punch me in the face.I agonized over a few conferences to maybe find some upsets, but in OVC, I pretty much green-lit Belmont without a second thought.

Heh, I'll try to remember that next season.
... I'll warn you against it, then follow it up with, "Are you sure you don't wanna play?
I feel that way every year about the CFB Survivor contest. "... Can I play? I promise I'll be out no later than Week 1!"
Maybe we're both just masochists?
I'll gripe, but yeah...no doubt I will try again next year. Besides, there are still about 30 conferences to go...plus this is the year I pick the perfect bracket.

What a coincidence — my bracket will be perfect this year, too!

Horizon League update: Oakland -- gone!
I'm still on pace to go 0-32.
Whose idea was this contest, anyway?!

Congratulations to None of Us!
I plan to update initial post with champions as they occur.

I picked Oakland because Valpo's best player is out and he is the best player in the conference. Didn't think they'd go out against Milwaukee though.
Could be a record low for the winner of this contest this year, at least at this pace.
I'll post the tournament winners list in the 4th slot from the top of the thread, for reference. Will update contestant correct results as time allows. (At the rate we're going, I won't have to do much work with that!)
