Zoner March Madness 2019

Added my name.... 

I'm in.

 

I tried to sign up, i used the link above and get put in a loop, i forgot my yahoo info from years ago in this tourney and the system doesn't help, keeps telling me there is an email already with that name and then asks for a missing digit, which i don't know and the help button send s to back to sign in, lol. maybe next year

You need to have an active yahoo account first and be logged in before the link will work, just create/add a different one, its easy.

I'm in

done and done

Im in

gracias fog

bracket completed

ready to rumble

Looks like 3 did not get their brackets in on time?

It's Mr Fish in the lead after the first day.       I picked Syracuse in his honor and they lost.  Thing is turns out he took Baylor. Bastard.

Looking at ppls picks....someone went total chalk...lol...sweet sixteen is four 1s, four 2 s, four 3 s, three 4s , and a five!...woooo...really going out on a limb w that fiver, eh, Cam?...lol...

 

I had a good day, but , really needed Yale...freakin lose by 5, even though they were like 4-30 from 3 s. (Usually one of their strengths...ugh)...i had em in sweet 16

I'm in 4th place but will likely tank to the bottom after today. "My Awesome Zoner Bracker" 

I downloaded the Yahoo Fantasy app for my phone... can see the list of Zoners in our group but cannot see my bracket -- only my total score --- anyone experiencing this issue? 

GaryFish, I'm totally impressed w/ your picking skills! 

^ , no , i can see everything fine, incl your bracket which i blv i checked out earlier today----gonzaga over kansas in final (maybe, my memory...arrgghhh)...THATS how ya win, though, ...everyone will have Duke (which is why i went NC, you gotta go outside the box somewhere!) I like your picks....

I cant shake the fish! Lol...both 20-4 heading into evening 8

Thanks Jambone and way to go w/ your 20-4 picks! 

I can now see my bracket on the app, so all good! I was using my desktop browser at work all day to keep up. I ended 18-22, still in the 3rd place crew, so I'm pretty happy about that!  

I also pick a few sentimental favs like Gonzaga and Oregon. This bracket will go down hard at some point, I'm sure! 

Thanks...;)

 

And back at ya....

 

 

Cmon! Liberty...pulls within 3 w 445 to go!

well, my prescient picks on Day 1 were not repeated on Day 2, and I've slipped to 4th... so my time of glory was certainly brief

Llollo, you've gotta give yourself more credit... with Day 2 games nearly over, you're currently tied for 2nd... enjoy it while you can!

 

Mark, the reason I picked Baylor over 'Cuse was that I had read that one of their starters -- Howard, I believe -- was being held out of the game due to some violation... normally I'm all in for the Orange, to the point of irrationality

best of luck (and skill) to all going forward

Jambone for the Day 2 trifecta, picking 12-seeds Liberty and Oregon, and 13-seed UC Irvine -- talk about prescient picks!

 

I'm not worthy

Ya, even a blind squirrel finds a nut or three, now and then....

 

(Best thing about it, is only team lost out of sweet 16 is Yale...and thats one im most upset about cause they played like crap, and were STILL in the game...and i really thought theyd be playing temple or belmont...i didnt see maryland winning that game, and really thought my Yale pick was my best of all my sleepers...lol...shows how much we truly know...i know jack.....just like everyone else in the world! Hey! Im also in top ten percent in yahoos best bracket fir a   million contest...(we re all automatically in i blv..since its free etc)..1.1 million signed up..and im like around 25,000th place...

 

 

So, youre telling me i got a shot...;))

I just gained a point on everybody with the Ohio St win.

Also picked Murray St, Oregon, and Irvine.

Trouble is, I also picked Montana, N.Kentuck, Ariz St, New Mexico St, Seton Hall and Colgate....

Picked 10 upsets in first round(I don't count 8/9 seeds as an upset) and only got 4 of them so looking like 22/32.  So I ain't scaring anybody.  

Still fun to watch the games when you have someone to pull for in each one.

Everybody in our bracket is still alive minus a cpl that had Kansas in finals (christine...,

;(, and last place Ed). Everyone else has so many differant combos of finals, anybody can still win it...fun lil braket! 

Wow...that UCF Duke game was game of tourney, so far...give me an Oregon victory here in late game and ill have 15 in final 16. Moved into top 1% in pool w 1.1 million ppl, only gotta jump 9,000 ppl...lol

That UCF - Duke game had me in tears at the end! There's always one game in the tournament that does that for for me. 

Loved the Oregon game, too. 

Why did I pick Kansas to go all the way, whyyyyyyyyyy? 

My bracket is crumbling, but I did fare better than in past years. 

Hope everyone had fun this weekend... next stop, Thursday! 

Tommy Cy Glavine , hot damn best bracket ever, nice work

 

is this schwa??? My gut says no because he does not have the butteyes winning it all

Thanks, Fabes.....;)

You can still be beat, but damn those first two rounds, good stuff

the fatal flaw in my bracket is that I went out on a limb and picked underdog Buffalo to go all the way to the Final Four :-(

I'd seen Buffalo play earlier in the season and was impressed by their scoring ability and fast-paced offense... plus, I didn't realize how good Texas Tech was likely to be

even with that liability, I still picked 14 of the Sweet 16

these next couple rounds will be fun to watch... best of luck to all going forward

 

Oh, i can def be beat, as i posted above, i think only ones that got really hurt were the two that had kansas in final....and garyfish with his ^ mentioned buffalo pick hurts also, but by no means eliminates him . 

 

Yup, next thurs-sunday will start to seperate us...and i could easily fall off the map....

 

Best of luck to all

Go Zags! That made my night... but waiting for Oregon game... we had to record the games due to work conflicts. 

Its anyones game....fafa is flying up the charts....with a bullet

So much for my glory...i just lost my champ....unc...barring a miracle finish...down 11 w 3...theyre done...and Auburn deserves it...they outplayed them in all aspects of game

 

Put a fork in UNC...put a fork in me....

Interesting Final Four coming up, would be cool to see Texas Tech and Auburn in the Final.

Llollo, hope you're able to catch the Final Four. we missed the Kentucky game because of a Birthday, caught the tail end of the Duke game.

Cam is Ms Fog btw. Tarheels are my second team.

I've been filling out March Madness brackets for at least a decade, and this year is my worst showing EVAH... all 4 of my Final Four picks went down in flames ;-(

as I recall, my worst showing before this was having 2 of the FF picks remaining on the final weekend

 

hopefully, the remaining games will be closely contested affairs... will be very interesting to see how the Virginia-Auburn tilt comes out... of course, Auburn is the sentimental favorite of many

we shall see

 

Kicking myself for NOT taking Auburn...i got one in...texas tech...but, i akways look for the HOT team coming in..and so, i rode w Oregon to sweet 16 anyway, but, i totally overlooked the team that was possibly the hottest in country (strong finish and won their tourney etc)....fun tourney this year, im glad Duke is out...but, CBS must be bitching with no duke, unc, kentucky, michigan, ucla, villanova, etc...

Been some really good games, fun tourney as always, thnx fog

 

 

and thnx hemp honey wherever you are

rock, chalk

 

Wow...i actually got texas tech in finals...and theres like 4 of us tied w 96 points...but, if im accurate, its CONGRATS time for Tim!!!! He s ahead, w 99 , and i dont think anyone can pass him...(i know i cant)...

 

Lots o fun...and again, hats off Tim!!

CONGRATS Tim.  Nice bracket.  Picking TT in the finals is` impressive work also.

Thanks, Fog....and thanks for setting this up....it was a fun cpl weeks, always is etc, but i really enjoyed seeing some "new" teams in final 4 etc....

Congrats Tim!!! Well done.

I did horribly but since I did not watch a single college basketball game all yr, it is what I expected.  I had a blast watching the games and following the competition.  Thanks Fog. Let's do it again next yr.

Congrats Tim - king for the year - let it be known in the chronicles of time
