***NCAA Tournament Hat Challenge***

[gratefulted 14]

That is kind of the dilemma. One guy was 10 minutes faster to take it, the other guy is the returning owner of UCLA from last year. If nothing happens in the next few day I will have to give it to the one who claimed first.

I've already let Black Clouds know he can have them since I had them last year.

Alright, glad the two of you were able to settle it yourselves, and of course you are welcome to take any of the other remaining teams should you feel like it.

[cmh6476 1,025]

I'll take K-State... surely they won't leave the best college basketball player in the country out of the tournament.

you going to switch to Mizzou if they win the tourney?

[Mike FF Today 726]

you going to switch to Mizzou if they win the tourney?

 

Yeah I would, but I have a better chance with Maria Menenous than MU has of winning the BIG tournament.

[Mike FF Today 726]

Just thinking out loud here, but I'd be willing to take all the teams seeded 14 or higher that aren't selected. If my teams win, whoever I'm playing against wouldn't have to send me anything (except for K-State). If my teams lose, then I'd send an FF Today T-shirt to the winner. Would that work?

[cmh6476 1,025]

sounds like a sweet deal. Only thing that might get in the way is if someone gradeated from one of the mid-majors, took them and they end up seeded a 14 or higher. Then we might just default to the original participant, and let you do the fft shirt for the others

[cmh6476 1,025]

also, can't wait to get my shirt after No. 1 KU kicks the crap out of some no-name school. This might also encourage others to sign-up...

[Mike FF Today 726]

I probably didn't make myself clear. I would only take teams that ARE NOT seeded #15 or #16.... in other words any team not selected and seeded 1-14, would full into the FF Today T-shirt category. Does that make sense?

FF Today T-shirt

 

Seriously, when are you going to make these public? I'd buy one...

ah got ya, so any non-represented 1-13 seed that ends up losing to a team that is represented

 

 

I imagine I'll still be ending up with a new shirt, XL please

[cmh6476 1,025]

well, and you might consider whether you're doing that for the course of the tourney, or just the 1st and 2n round, or maybe sweet 16 and beyond or something. Could potentially be a lot of shirts, something to think about. We'll run this through the course of the tourney, so anytime two teams that are represented hookup, the winner gets a cap from the losah

thanks Mike.

yeah I see where they drew KU in the 2nd round, I guess there goes that idea

[Riddlen 1]

see ya at TDZ Riddlen....

I thought you meant taking seeds 14-16 and figured you just wanted to play Santa through March.

 

Good deal and good idea

[Ravens 03 0]

Maryland is no longer a Bubble team.

[BlackClouds 24]

I've already let Black Clouds know he can have them since I had them last year.

Thanks Ted.

5 seed: Drake, Marquette, Butler

6 seed: Washington St, BYU, Vanderbilt, Clemson

7 seed: Oklahoma, Gonzaga, USC, Mississippi St

8 seed: West Virginia, Davidson, Pittsburgh

9 seed: Kentucky, Baylor, Miami, St. Mary's

10 seed: Arkansas, Kent St, Arizona, Texas A&M

11 seed: New Mexico, South Alabama, Illinois St, UNLV

12 seed: Ohio St, Massachusetts, Oregon, George Mason

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Updated bubble and auto-bid lists. Just over 48 hours to go.

[patweisers44 846]

Can we take more than one team? If so, i will take Georgetown to go with the rapidly sinking Michigan State Spartans

Based on Mike's interest in taking every team not ranked #14-16, it would look like these are the teams to wager on if you want an fftoday shirt.

 

Mike's leveraging his knowledge that teams from Indiana are the suxor to drum up interest in this contest.

 

 

(Plus, he prolly has a boxload of crapass shirts sitting in his closet he bought for $2 a piece he has no idea what to do with.)

Interesting question. I suppose we can allow it, just as long as reliable people are the ones taking a second team (and I definitely cap it at two teams) so we can avoid multiple people getting screwed if one person chooses to pull a QLazz.

 

I'm taking Clemson as my second. If there is anyone who does not yet have a team and wants to take Clemson, just post your entry here and I will give them to you.

[ZeroTolerance 584]

Stephen F Austin ousted in the conference semis. The Lumberjacks will not make the tournament.

[Signature_Athletes 0]

I will take the X-Men!

 

Xavier Baby!!!!!!

[Mike FF Today 726]

Yes! I need to clear out inventory to make room for the "2008's."

Can't wait to see what the new "Smurf with a machine gun" looks like.

[edjr 6,591]

I'll take BC. Let me know if you need my address to start sending me free hats.

[Johnny Ringo 0]

I kinda figured Rusty or someone else would represent my beloved Aggies.

 

But since nobody has claimed them yet, I'll take Texas A&M.

 

[cortezthekiller303 0]

In for West Virginia University. Huggins = 100% chance of a DUI if we get bounced in the first round.

 

 

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

i have no hats of any college teams besides wisc and gb....

 

but ill take my gals alum, vandy..i have a hat to pick up a hat at the mall...(i assume the hat store has one ) ill go tomorrow and give big if they do..if they dont, ill have to bow out and leave a bag of burning poo somewhere in that Lids store..

No rule that is has to be fitted, if you feel like going the extra mile and getting one I'm sure it would be appreciated.

[Mike FF Today 726]

Keeping with the Big 12 theme... If K-State doesn't make it, I will take Oklahoma first or Baylor second (assuming nobody else wants them)... surely one of those three will make it.

well, just count on a new, regular hat...

 

im sure i can find a new marquette hat..but am guessing that they will be taken by someone...and thats ok...

 

i want vandy...just dont have a ton of confidence in our local Lids store..

No one has claimed Marquette and we are under an hour left. If you want them as your second just say so and its yours.

 

On a side note, I usually use Ebay for this (not many other ways to get a Gonzaga hat in Michigan).

[remote controller 143]

I'll take Drake.
