  I know people who would actually do that, so I know such "scumbags" exist. I like to think of them as just people who take it too seriously.

  Haha no, I was not offended. I agree with you whole-heartedly. There was this kid I knew whose bracket pool I entered in college. I went to high school with him and he played in the same backcourt as me for two years, so I figured his tournament would be legit and that everything would be cool. Not having access to the master brackets, I had to rely on receiving updates of the bracket leaders when I saw him in class, as we never really saw each other otherwise. Well, I "led" that bracket pool the entire tournament until the day after the championship game, at which point he informed me that he had taken the lead at the end. LOL.
  
  Never again will I enter a random bracket pool where some guy is probably just sitting there with an empty tournament sheet and a marker.

  Yeah, I was invited into a pool this year by a guy I caught having two teams in a FFL league I was in. My answer: "HELL no!"

  Just dropped another by picking 'Nova to get out of this round.
  
  No worry, though. I had OSU beating them next round anyway.
  
  Currently 16-4 ... with 3 of the 4 misses not making it out of the next round anyway (and the 4th only making it to the Sweet 16).

  21/24. Lost Tex A&M today. Marquette, UNLV, VCU, Washington and all the big favorites left tonight.
• ironman02

  Doing much better today with a 7-1 mark through the first two sessions, but that still only puts me at 16-8 overall.
  
  Took Xavier, Washington, Illinois, Georgetown, Carolina, 'Cuse, Kansas, and Purdue tonight.

  LOL. Thanks. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see Marquette, UNLV, and VCU win. All of those have the potential to be close games.
• september63

  

  Yes they do. However, I'm do to lose.
• fiction

  

  Missed 1 game so far. I didn't watch much college basketball this year, no way it even remotely holds up.
• september63

  

  25-3 with UNLV, Washington, Syracuse and VCU left. UNLV already appears to be a Loser.
• Ankle Breaker

  

  Saw where Obama has only missed two games so far, Louisville and Michigan State.lol

  holy shit! and he's got Illinois.
• dave

  there are only 5 perfect brackets left on espn, 3 have UNLV.
  
  Of the 2 that will stay perfect, both have Washington and Georgetown.
  
  
  Good chance there are 0 left.
• stroups

  

  I have lost 5 or 6 games but nothing detrimental yet. Only 1 sweet 16 team in Louisville.
• friendfromlowry

  I'll throw mine away when Georgetown loses.
• Laley23

  

  Xavier fucked me. I know have 4 S16 teams out...At least all my E8 teams are left.
• Leonardo

  

  23-9 in the first round
  
  14 of 16 Sweet 16 teams alive (lost Louisville and Michigan State)
  8 of 8 Elite 8 teams alive
• Iliketurtles

  

  26-6 in the first round and I still have 14 out of 16 of my sweet 16 teams.
• september63

  

  28-4 with 15/16 Sweet 16's left. Louisville was my only big loss.
• UA5straightin2008

  

  in the 99.2% on espn, pretty content with my picks..pitts loss didnt help, but it didnt help anyone really so it didnt affect my standings in either of my pools
• dazedconfused

  

  might as well put a big red "X" through the entire southeast region. i have maxed out my win total from that region and it only took me three days lol
• september63

  

  28-4 in the first round. Had a bad day Sat going 5-3 and am no longer in 1st place by 1 point. Still in the 99%.

  Helped me tons. I had Butler beating Pitt in that game. I moved from T-201 to 25th in a 900 person bracket challenge.
  
  My only misses on sweet 16 teams are Xavier and St. John's so far.
• Cleveland Buck

  

  Well, I lost my first Final Four team with Syracuse losing to Marquette. I doubt either of them would be in the Sweet 16 if they weren't playing each other, but that's the way it goes.
