2012 NCAA Tourney Player Pick 'em

  • Azubuike24
    Outside of Isaiah Canaan of Murray State, there isn't anyone on a top 25 team who is in the top 25 for PPG.

    Definitely a wide open year. Picking the players who play the most games is going to be more crucial than picking the highest scorers.

    This wont work on here, but Im doing this for money with family and friends. 20 a person. We are having a payout of:

    1. Lump sum for the winner
    2. Lump sum for the winner of each round. Each round is 1/6 of whatever this sum ends up being
    3. Lump sum for the single player with the most points

    I really cant wait. Should be more fun for the brackts since I have a lot of money on it this year.

    That is pretty awesome Laley sounds like a lot of fun.

    TTocs can have my spot if he wants. Not a huge deal to me and didn't think we'd have people left out.

    Laley, please give turtles my spot (anyone who was in it last year should be in it again this year). You can put me in the 5th alternate spot if that's ok. Thanks.

    Nah vball you stay in it. I'm cool with not being in it. I hopefully will be moving during March Madness so I don't even know how much I will get to watch the games. And I will be just getting back from Daytona Beach on Selection Sunday.

    Took care of that lol.

    If Turtles changes his mind Ill give it too him.

    Granted, we have better posters than last year in this, but I still expect to have to use 2-3 of the alternates.

    I mean I'd love the spot but I don't want him to just give it to me.vball is a pretty good guy and he should enjoy the fun of doing this. Like you said alternates will probably get in there so I'm not too worried about it.

    Good luck man! Not because of the gift card, because I like seeing OCer's (except Gibby) succeed. (Wouldn't mind the gift card either)

    What's the job for?
  • SportsAndLady
    Banker

    Good Luck to you S&L. I've got an interview tomorrow for a new job as well(Accounting Manager). I'm flying for the first time tomorrow for it woot.
  • SportsAndLady
    Thanks fellas (and good luck turtles..flying is awesome..get one alcoholic drink and you'll be a little drunk)

    I'm really hoping I get this position; I really wanna live in Chi Town. If I don't, it's smelly Cincy for me

    Maybe its cause Ive been flying since I was 3. But im always a bit shocked that people havent flown by the time they are in their 20s.

    Either way, good luck on the interview. Also, fuck TSA warnings, dont get to the airport too early. You will be bored as shit unless you have 3G or wanna buy an hour of internet.
  • SportsAndLady
    It's his first time at the airport though lol might wanna get there a little early..

    But yeah I get to airports an hour before my flight. Usually end up waiting for 20 min or so
  • Laley23
    True. Wear slip on shoes. pack a belt and put in on after security. Put everything in 1 pocket so its easy to take out at once. I hate people who clog the bins for like 5 minutes. Im ready to get scanned in like 20 seconds. But I also fly a lot lol.

    Oh, and have the laptop/iPad in an easy place to get out. The worst is people emptying their backpacks to get the laptop out for security.

    Hey now. I'm here for the next 3.5 years plus for school. But yeah Chicago>>>>>>>Cincy. Minus cost of living.

    Once my gf (dental school) and I graduate, I hope I can get my residency in Illinois.


    Also---you should hit up the Celtics-Bulls game on Madison tonight. :thumbup:

    Haha I have nothing against Cincy, just lived there since I was 12 so I've had about enough of it. Even living there the past two weeks has been annoying for me. If you aren't from Cincy and get a job/go to school there, you would definitely like it.

    ^^^how'd the interview go, and when should you hear something?
