March Madness Stock Pickers Tournament

[billyjoe]

Carribean Mike, You should have been too late for entry, see 3AM post. However, the gods are in your favor as IIC is apparently a last minute scratch. You will take his place in the Southwest Region at Weed Patch, California. BGO has been accepted and all teams and rosters are final.
Let the "Big Dance" begin. Tipoff in exactly 2 hours.

Hey Grebnet, how is Syracuse going to fare in the real tourney? We are going to need some of the young guys to step up and give some consistent play I think...

Go Orange!

I think SYR will beat BYU but lose to Maryland at least thats what i picked in office pool.
We can win if we are having a good day vs last year with Carmello we could win even on a bad day. I certainly wont be upset if my pool choice is wrong. I really hope Forth has a great series, lets look for a ray of light under those heavy feet.
P.S. did you move to somewhere warm?

I moved to Florida, and it is pretty sweet down here. I am about to hit the beach for 10 day to fish, relax, and watch some basketball. I think 'Cuse needs someone to step up and take some of the 3-point pressure of McNamara, and if that doesn't happen I think we are going down to Maryland as well. Next year should be an awesome year with the recruits we have coming in...possibly pre-season #1.

Well, I better finish up here at work so I can cut out early and watch the game.

Go Orange!

Dave, You're making lots of enemies up north. We're freezing our asses off and shoveling snow.

All opening prices are locked in. I checked progress as of 12:30 EST. I thought I was doing bad until I checked some of the turkeys you guys picked. Many had all 5 as losers. Carribean Mike and RL you must have sold your souls to the devil . You're the top 2. But RL I don't believe TASR can hang in there for the entire tournament I also thought so about 100 points ago on that stock. You know what they say "live by the tasr and die by the tasr".

I'm from Syracuse as well, but attending school in Buffalo. Unfortunately though, I agree wtih you. I have them beating BYU but losing to Maryland.

I may have to start my own web site after this whipping I put on you guys. I will work on some catchy sayings over the next couple of weeks.

We hope to have some 1st round results posted this evening if I can figure out how to make it look decent. If not I'll get one of the kids to figure it out. They've been keyboarding since birth.

Partial returns are in from the first round. Out of the 17 teams in the running, one has all five picks as winners. Very impressive CARRIBEAN MIKE. But wouldn't you know it, good old Mr. Market has 3 winners and 2 unchanged. A couple who will remain unnamed have all losers. The good news is nobody is out of the running. Lots of the losses are very small as well as many of the gains. Some statistics coming later.
