ZeroTolerance 582 Posted February 22, 2014 Back again for, oh, the eleventh year. For those unfamiliar with the contest, geeks select a team to represent them in the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. If your team defeats a team represented by a fellow geek, that geek must send you their team's hat (or a shirt, etc. which can be negotiated between the two parties). Once the brackets have been revealed, any requests to select an available team must be approved by the owners of teams that are in their region (to prevent cherry-pickers). Current entries: cmh6476 - Kansas Jayhawks tikigods - Syracuse Orange tikigods - Massachusetts Minutemen patweisers44 - Michigan State Spartans patweisers44 - Villanova Wildcats patweisers44 - Wichita State Shockers ZeroTolerance - Florida Gators ZeroTolerance - Louisville Cardinals jerryskids - Arizona State Sun Devils Strike - Duke Blue Devils devin952 - Michigan Wolverines 29 Guests - Baylor Bears 29 Guests - San Diego State Aztecs Giants Fan - Arizona Wildcats crackattack - Wisconsin Badgers JTB - Virginia Cavaliers Mike FF Today - Iowa State Cyclones dave32 - Kentucky Wildcats remote controller - Creighton Bluejays Available teams: American - Cincinnati, UConn, Memphis Atlantic 10 - Saint Louis, VCU, George Washington, Saint Joseph's, Dayton ACC - North Carolina, Pittsburgh, North Carolina St Big 12 - Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas St, Oklahoma St, Baylor Big East - Xavier, Providence Big Ten - Ohio St, Iowa, Nebraska Mountain West - New Mexico Pac-12 - UCLA, Colorado, Oregon, Stanford SEC - Tennessee WCC - Gonzaga, BYU New team approval (by region): South region: Florida and Kansas approval (need: Syracuse) East region: (need: Virginia, Michigan St, Iowa St, Villanova) Midwest region: Louisville and Wichita St approval (need: Michigan, Duke, UMass, Arizona St) West region: Wisconsin and Baylor approval (need: Arizona) Teams by region: South 1 - Florida - ZeroTolerance 3 - Syracuse - tikigods 2 - Kansas - cmh6476 East 1 - Virginia - JTB 4 - Michigan State - patweisers44 3 - Iowa State - Mike FF Today 2 - Villanova - patweisers44 West 1 - Arizona - Giants Fan 4 - San Diego St - 29 Guests 3 - Creighton - remote controller 6 - Baylor - 29 Guests 2 - Wisconsin - crackattack Midwest 1 - Wichita St - patweisers44 8 - Kentucky - dave32 4 - Louisville - ZeroTolerance 3 - Duke - Strike 6 - UMass - tikigods 10 - Arizona St - jerryskids 2 - Michigan - devin952 Round of 32 3 - Creighton - remote controller -vs- 6 - Baylor - 29 Guests ***WINNER*** 1 - Wichita St - patweisers44 -vs- 8 - Kentucky - dave32 ***WINNER*** Sweet 16 4 - Louisville - ZeroTolerance -vs- 8 - Kentucky - dave32 ***WINNER*** 2 - Wisconsin - crackattack ***WINNER*** -vs- 6 - Baylor - 29 Guests 1 - Virginia - JTB -vs- 4 - Michigan State - patweisers44 ***WINNER*** 1 - Arizona - Giants Fan ***WINNER*** -vs- 4 - San Diego St - 29 Guests Elite 8 1 - Arizona - Giants Fan -vs- 2 - Wisconsin - crackattack ***WINNER*** 8 - Kentucky - dave32 ***WINNER*** -vs- 2 - Michigan - devin952 Elite 8 Challenge Match 4 - Michigan State - patweisers44 -vs- 7 - Connecticut - 29 Guests ***WINNER*** Final Four 8 - Kentucky - dave32 ***WINNER*** -vs- 2 - Wisconsin - crackattack 1 - Florida - Zero Tolerance -vs- 7 - Connecticut - 29 Guests ***WINNER*** National Championship 7 - Connecticut - 29 Guests. ***WINNER*** -vs- 8 - Kentucky - dave32 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 750 Posted February 22, 2014 hopefully i get some matchups this year so I don't see another elite 8 cost me a sweatshirt with no return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmh6476 750 Posted February 23, 2014 This is going to be a sweet March. I already have my tickets to the Big 12 tourney, and with Baylor or Oklahoma State looking at our 8 or 9 seed possibly it should be 4 days of some pretty sweet matchups. Lots of good teams to choose from with this year's bracket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geezil 24 Posted March 5, 2014 I'm in with a couple others if we are allowed after the seeding? And as Adam said, I want a nice fitted cap, not some hillbilly mesh backed, plastic clip kind. I'll post my lid size after my teams win. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

crackattack 513 Posted March 5, 2014 Show of hands: who here would give GF or Geezil their home address? I'm starting to think about getting out this year. I wont be giveing gfiafp or geezil my addy if my team would beat one of theirs, so it's only fair if my team loses to theirs I'm not buying them one. Who's in charge of this thing and why are we letting the bored crazies in? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geezil 24 Posted March 5, 2014 I'm just appalled at your childishness. If they get to play, I'm not playing. Come on man, really??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackattack 513 Posted March 5, 2014 Appalled at my childishness??? That hysterical coming from the boreds second craziest poster. Maybe uf you didn't act like a nut job this wouldn't be an issue. Look. I've been getting in this longer then you've been here. I've never backed out, and bought plenty of hats, but I'm not giving my addy to people who act like you and gfiafp. It's not my fault you too act the same, post the same, talk to yourself. If the other geeks in it have a problem with it I'll be more then happy to put wiscy back in the open list. You and gfiafp...don't care what you guys think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You and gfiafp...don't care what you guys think. If it's an issue if Michigan meets and beats your team in the tourney, like I already said, just post a pic of a hat and we can call it good. Problem solved in my opinion. It seems that won't make you happy though and you just want Adam and I out. If that is the prevailing opinion of the other Geeks, then so be it. I will happily bow out. I just think it is childish and foolish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
crackattack 513 Posted March 5, 2014 I don't want anyone out. I'm just not going to accept/send a hat to or from you two. No problem with me if ok with you guys. Odds of meeting are slim. If other geeks want to buy you guys one or get them from you no problem. Hell I'll send a hat to a geek that doesn't act like a wack job and they can send it to you two if necessary.
