***OFFICIAL*** NCAA Hat Tournament 2014

[ZeroTolerance 582]

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).

[cmh6476 748]

hopefully i get some matchups this year so I don't see another elite 8 cost me a sweatshirt with no return

[cmh6476 748]

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.

[jerryskids 5,149]

I'll take Arizona State. With that win over Arizona they look pretty solid to make it.

[Strike 3,932]

I'll take Duke, as always. TY.

[Geezil 24]

I'm in.

[cmh6476 748]

mike or joe, which one of you are gonna take miz in the nit?

[29 Guests 29]

baylor!

[nzoner 936]

I was thinking about taking the BEST team in Kansas

[cmh6476 748]

the shockers would have 5 losses by now if they played in the big 12

Wiggins is he decided not to play with his brother

[Giants Fan 85]

Arizona Wildcats

[jerryskids 5,149]

Show of hands: who here would give GF or Geezil their home address?

[crackattack 513]

I'm in with Wisconsin. Thanks.

[Geezil 24]

i was thinking the same thing in reverse. I already called about getting a PO Box.

[cmh6476 748]

if we happen to match up in the first two rounds I'll give you 4 points

[Giants Fan 85]

BTW, whoever wins my Wildcats hat, if you want I will buy you a custom, fitted hat.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Bump. Still quite a few top ten teams available.

[Geezil 24]

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.

[patweisers44 696]

I will take Villanova and Wichita State as well, if no one wants them.

Once the bracket is announced, any extra teams must be cleared by the other owners in their region (to prevent people from cherry-picking matchups).

Gotcha. That makes sense. I will prolly just stick with Michigan. Big Ten Champs by the way, Suckas!

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?

You can play you crybaby. If my team beats yours, just post a pic of a hat here and I will be satisfied. Then go wash your bagina.

Don't need your approval, but thanks.

[Geezil 24]

I'm just appalled at your childishness. If they get to play, I'm not playing. Come on man, really???

[crackattack 513]

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.

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.

[crackattack 513]

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.

Fair enough. Anything to keep you in I'm all for.

 

So..., are you in?

 

Edit: Actually, not fair enough. If I beat you, I want a hat and I will give you my address to send a hat. And make sure it is a nice fitted one.

[crackattack 513]

I'm in. I'll figure a way to make it work if need be.

[ZeroTolerance 582]

If no one (like the usual homer) steps up in the next week, I'll add Louisville.

[JTB 52]

Virginia State here!

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Virginia State here!

 

Does this mean "Virginia" or did you mean to proclaim "Virgin State here!"

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Bump. Brackets are released in 73 hours. For a rough idea of where the remaining available teams (listed in first post) are projected right now:

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/bracketology

[IGotWorms 3,297]

I wonder which team posty favors to win

[ZeroTolerance 582]

Bump (can we get a pin?). 15 teams so far, would be nice to get to 18 or so.

[Reality 2,710]

Will this be the first year not a single #1 seed could win their own conference tournament. Florida probably will but we can't take the SEC seriously at this point.

[devin952 1]

because geezil is a POS , can I take his team, that focker wont be around anytime soon anyways.
