I'll take K-State.

Darn it. When I saw that you had posted I was hoping you were throwing in fftoday t-shirts.

[patweisers44]

In order to fill this thing up, I will take a second team if thats acceptable. I hate Michigan, but it work in Ann Arbor so it will be easy for me to send out a hat when the time arrives.

I will be hoping to pay this one off after the first round.

[rallo]

I think youre safe. I could field a group of guys here in Des Moines and go beat Iowa 3 out of 5 games i think.

puffing out your chest a little after that fluke of a baylor win?

yeah should be fine, but if someone else would actually want them you might defer to them.

No problem.

Looks like Arizona is gonna make it. They are a scrappy team, Could do some damage.

At any rate, I have a fitted Arizona cap that I wear turtle style sometimes, and another one that was gifted to me, that I never wear, Adjustable. Looks like it's sun bleached ... comes like that new. I've worn it like twice since I got it as a Christmas present.

So ... my first year in this challenge ... with a hat to spare .... and I still don't know why you would want a hat from a school you didn't go to but ... Ok, I'm in.

Go cats!

Nobody wants a hat you've worn. If I lose and owe someone a hat, I'm going to let them pick one from a Purdue apparel website. You even mess this up. If purdue would play arizona and purdue should win....keep your used, sun bleached hat, but if arizona should win, well I have a slightly used purdue hat for you.

[tikigods]

I'll take UMASS...assuming they win the A-10 this weekend!

[The Moz]

If noone is claiming Syracuse -- I have no ties to them but hell I will take them as well as UK which I already have

[tikigods]

UMASS out. Scratch them off my list.

Haha. I know right! Get a clue GFIAFP. You're supposed to let the guy pick out a hat under 25$ from lids or the team store. This isn't the NIT used hat contest. That's another thread.

No matter, Arizona is NIT bound.

so...

a purdue cap in round two
a san diego state cap in round three
a unc cap on the way to the final 4
a syracuse cap on the way to the championship
and i'll settle for whichever team makes it through from the other side

If Purdue gets through, Kansas will beat us and beat us like a drum. The only way is if Purdue is shooting lights out and Kansas has an off night.

ETA: when do they release the game times?

With this post you have doomed the Jayhawks to a round one defeat at the hands of Detroit.

I'll take Bama if remote approves

I approve for the second round.

Tough draw for SDSU. I do t think we'll get past NC St.

At least I won't have to buy anyone a hat.

hey....if i take University of Detroit, can i alter the terms a little? I already have a Kansas hat from a couple years ago and i dont wanna have to drive into the ghetto to get a UD hat. How about we pay off the bet with MLB hats? you win, i send a tigers (or Redwings, pistons or lions..your choice) hat out. I win, you send me a Royals hat?

(I must admit, I'm a little surprised to see someone jump out to represent a #15 seed)

As a KU fan that will speak no ill will of the Tigers (hey, I have three kids where someday it will be cheaper to pay in-state tui at MU than somewhere like KU) I must admit that all the garbage you MU fans have posted on facebook and everywhere else I have heard about it is about to make me gag.

You guys are all up on your mighty pedestal now that you won the Big 12 tourney on your way out, flippin the rest of the league the bird. Well as Doc Holiday's nemesis would say, "well, bye".

You guys are like what 4-15 against Bill Self. And have won the conference tourney what twice? Have you ever won the league regular season title since the league was formed? Yet now all of a sudden you guys are too good for us and expect for us to wish you well in your new endeavors.

meh, not gonna hurt my feelings if you guys don't make it to the sweet 16

I don't expect anything from a KU fan but c'mon you seriously wouldn't want to see the stars align and the schools play for the NC?

[DanXIII]

I approve for the second round.

The second round or what is now the third round? (I think they're calling these idiotic play in games the "first round" now)

[ZeroTolerance]

Missouri's biggest positive: avoiding teams with athletic size until possibly the final four
Missouri's biggest negative: coaching inexperience (Frank Haith making his second tournament appearance. A major trend regarding teams that make the Final Four is whether their head coach has been to multiple tournaments, and whether he has made an elite eight for farther)

not really I'd never live that down if Mizzou beat KU to get their first ever NC. I'd rather MU continue to be the red-headed step-child of now the SEC as kentucky walks their dog year in and year out

Its a hat, and like i said i have a jayhawks hat from a couple years back when they lost to MSU. Detroit's odds are about the same as Kansas had to beat MSU in '09 so I am kinda returning the favor.

The third round I guess. My UNC would face your Bama if they won.

[remote controller]

I approve for the second round.

Hell, I'll buy you a hat!

[remote controller]

I'll take Bama if remote approves

I'm itching to lose a hat.

[Reality]

I'll take Indiana, doubt anyone has either of the 1st 2 teams they would face.

You will need approval from the Wichita St owner (JTB).

lol so I'm pretty much buying a hat for either Zero or Remote because there's no way in hell Bama gets to the Sweet Sixteen
