I-Mockery Bracket Bunch
 
In honor of the new forum. I think I-Mockery should have a bracket group. I'm already running one somewhere else and it could be fun. I don't know if we could have any prizes since anyone can have a title now. Maybe I can make the winner a cool signature that they can show off to their dad.

All you need is a yahoo account. Everyone has one of those don't they?

http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com

the group ID# is 153220
the password is bape :bestthread

Hurry up, because these things get locked on Thursday.


WhiteRat Mar 18th, 2008 10:13 PM

Entering my bracket right now.

Esuohlim Mar 18th, 2008 10:13 PM

I submitted mine, you're all toast

Pentegarn Mar 18th, 2008 10:13 PM

I am in and my bracket is up :)

Can't wait till thursday so we can ridicule each others picks :D

Esuohlim Mar 18th, 2008 10:16 PM

BRACKET TIPS FOR YOUNG BENCHWARMERS: A low number means a high rank :eek

I've come across a lot of people who think otherwise, is all :(

GADZOOKS Mar 18th, 2008 10:17 PM

My secret is I vote for which team logo/mascot can win in a fight.

Remember the episode of Perfect Strangers where Balki did that with football picks and got every one right every week? :lol

GADZOOKS Mar 18th, 2008 10:22 PM

I actually don't. I am ashamed that I don't, too. :(

I'm Dane Cook to Bronso Pinchot's Louis CK

Colonel Flagg Mar 19th, 2008 10:44 PM

Thanks, Gadzooks. May the best mocker win!

GADZOOKS Mar 20th, 2008 12:14 PM

I'm winning :lol

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 12:25 PM

I love how Pub has Winthrop in the Final Four and Mount St. Mary's knocking off UNC.

GADZOOKS Mar 20th, 2008 12:36 PM

DONT COUNT OUT THE MOUNT

ugh, Michigan St. is playing like chumps. I KNEW I SHOULDNT OF PICKED A TEAM THAT WOULD ENROLL ESUOHLIM

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 12:45 PM

I am a genius. I picked Temple!

(Disregard post if MSU wins)

Esuohlim Mar 20th, 2008 01:12 PM

I picked Temple too so I don't know who to root for. It's like I set it up so that either way I'll be disappointed. :(

MSU's starting to pick up steam sorry everyone!

And I've got Xavier in the final four so they better not jerk around anymore >:

It beats me why Pub is even remotely interested in United States college basketball in the first place.

GADZOOKS Mar 20th, 2008 01:26 PM

My other Bracket group has one dude having Baylor in the Final Four.

GADZOOKS Mar 20th, 2008 04:02 PM

Hahaha, publover is beating Esuohlim and White Rat as we speak

Pentegarn Mar 20th, 2008 05:21 PM

Pub is beating everyone as we speak :P

Won't last with that Mount St. Marys pick, but still, how's that taste everyone not Pub?

To me, it tastes like a shit sandwich

Esuohlim Mar 20th, 2008 05:30 PM

Oh whatever Pub you've got three out of four 16 seeds moving on to the next round why are you winning so far >:

ANGRY ABOTU SPORTS

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 06:31 PM

My bracket was shooting sparks earlier today but I doused them with the sweat from my saturated brow. The upsets that I had never happened, but not one of them was advancing past the second round anyway, so I think i'm okay right now.

Pub Lover Mar 20th, 2008 07:32 PM

Calm down guys, my picks get drastically more absurd, so I'm only gonna lead for this tiny fraction of the game.

Unless everything we know about the game is wrong! :eek

Whiterat, I wanted to have Winthrop win the whole thing, but I just couldn't do it. :x

executioneer Mar 20th, 2008 07:47 PM

i tried to look at this and it wont let me, what gives

Pentegarn Mar 20th, 2008 08:50 PM

Belmont is holding on, my longshot upset might come through :)

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 08:53 PM

Are we using this thread to BS about the tourney now?

I'm not being a smartass, i'm just confused.

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 08:58 PM

Yes, I'm a homer and an idiot. Temple going to the sweet 16. What was I thinking. At least they didn't go any further, so I only lost 2 points.

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 09:04 PM

GO Kansas State!!!!!

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 09:22 PM

If Belmont won I would've just ripped up my bracket. I have Duke going to the National Championship. I seriously regret picking them.

Pub Lover Mar 20th, 2008 09:25 PM

haha, my entire east is dead. Damn you Winthrop. :lol

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 09:27 PM

Geez, you had me scared there at the end. Belmont bows by a half a bucket. Wow, Duke may not make it to the final 2, eh?:chatter

This is more of how it effects our brackets. Serious takes about the tourney would be better for the March Madness thread

executioneer Mar 20th, 2008 09:40 PM

There was a problem
  • This is not a private group. (Error #147) ;_;

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 09:44 PM

A&M pulls it out; surprisingly close considering BYU didn't even score until 6:00 into the game.

10/12 so far.

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 09:47 PM

8/12 right now. Finally, Pub entered the cellar where he will stay for the duration of the Tourney.

Pentegarn Mar 20th, 2008 09:49 PM

Nice job so far, you keep this pace up and you will spank our collective behinds.

Question is did I mean figuratively or literally :chatter

Speak for yourself, perv boy:blowme

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 10:17 PM

So when will George Mason show up to start playing some basketball? Sheesh, there's one upset I picked that looks pretty bleak.

Yeah, I have them too. I find it interesting that so far only 1 lower seeded team has won and that was Texas A&M(9) over BYU(8). Cal State-Fullerton is playing Wisconsin tough right now though.

Colonel Flagg Mar 20th, 2008 10:41 PM

Don't forget Kansas State! The Wildcats pounced all over the Trojans! :rock

WhiteRat Mar 20th, 2008 10:57 PM

Yeah, I had them too but have them losing in the next round.

GADZOOKS Mar 20th, 2008 11:07 PM

I'm doing okay here, but I'm perfect in my other bracker :cool

Willie, I took the privacy thing off, you can look at it now :(

Esuohlim Mar 20th, 2008 11:55 PM

Damnit Arizona :(

Pub Lover Mar 21st, 2008 12:03 AM

And I was sure they would win the whole tournament.

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 07:07 AM

So far it is pretty close. I must say running in 2 bracket competitions makes the already best sports time of the year even better :)

Esuohlim Mar 21st, 2008 01:16 PM

Well it looks like I'm way off on all my 7-10 picks so far >:

GADZOOKS Mar 21st, 2008 01:51 PM

I should of just carried over my bracket from my other group. My pride is on the line here!

I miss the Gators in this tournament :(

Colonel Flagg Mar 21st, 2008 02:36 PM

1-4 so far today. I suck.

Esuohlim Mar 21st, 2008 03:02 PM

If Drake pulls through I'll be batting 1000 today :eeksurprise

Sorry guys this isn't a baseball thread I hope I wasn't way out of line there

EDIT: Well fuck

Colonel Flagg Mar 21st, 2008 03:13 PM

Good for you Milhouse - .750 beats .250 any day. Exciting game, though. I still suck.

WhiteRat Mar 21st, 2008 03:36 PM

Drake killed me. I had them beating UConn and advancing to the Sweet 16. So far i'm 12 for 20, but a possible 181 points keeps me in it if my big dogs don't decided to lay down.

WhiteRat Mar 21st, 2008 04:27 PM

BTW, I'm somehow in last place again. God damnit Pub, when are your shitty picks going to blow up your bracket?

Pub Lover Mar 21st, 2008 04:45 PM

I'm as surprised as you. :lol

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 05:39 PM

Pub is like that woman in the office pool who never even heard of college basketball, yet enters the office pool nonetheless, picks based off places she visited or what mascots are the most cuddly, and somehow wins :lol

GADZOOKS Mar 21st, 2008 05:42 PM

it doesn't count the next round failures

Don't worry, pub has secured last place

Colonel Flagg Mar 21st, 2008 06:53 PM

DAMN YOU HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WhiteRat Mar 21st, 2008 07:11 PM

God damn't i'm now 15 for 24. If Clemson loses tonight I'm ripping up my bracket and going straight into "don't give a shit mode".

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 07:33 PM

Way to blow UConn! :fart

Colonel Flagg Mar 21st, 2008 07:51 PM

This is why I hate the Big East. >:

GADZOOKS Mar 21st, 2008 08:59 PM

Where was my mind when I picked South Alabama, jesus christ.

Fuck you Drake, UConn, and Gongzaga you ruined my Friday.

Edit: Sorry I sound so drunk in this post. I had alot of beer-battered shrimp for dinner. More like beer-smashed shrimp because, heh heh, im smasheeeeeeeeed"

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 09:22 PM

Looks like Vandy is about to cement my place in next to last :(

Colonel Flagg Mar 21st, 2008 09:22 PM

Don't look now but the bottom is about to drop out. Siena over Vandy? Can you say "KABOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!!"? :confused:

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 09:32 PM

Thanks for absolutely nothing Vandy.

Bracket prognostication is like romance, you swear you picked "the one" then you get your heart stepped on, swear never to get involved again, only to come right back a year later when the grief has diminished :P

GADZOOKS Mar 21st, 2008 09:36 PM

I like how Thursday had almost no upsets while today has been nothing but upsets and personal grief. I don't remember their being a more lopsided first two days.

Pentegarn Mar 21st, 2008 10:03 PM

If I weren't running my pool at work I would be done with this whole mess...

Who am I kidding, no I wouldn't I am that big of a degenerate for sports :lol

Colonel Flagg Mar 22nd, 2008 12:09 AM

F*** Villanova. The only team from Philly that I thought would lose in the first round, and it looks like they'll upset Clemson.

Edit: There's still a chance, Clemson is making a comeback! C'mon Tigers!

Edit: Bastards!

WhiteRat Mar 22nd, 2008 07:16 AM

There goes Clemson making it to the Elite 8. Fuck this tournament.

Colonel Flagg Mar 22nd, 2008 08:18 AM

Every single game in Tampa was an upset. WTF!

That's March Madness :lol

Colonel Flagg Mar 22nd, 2008 04:17 PM

Pub, I'm wit you. Duke, the destroyed.

El Blanco Mar 22nd, 2008 04:21 PM

I picked Duke for the Final Four. Coach K did a shit job prepping his team. This is lousy execution, nothing more.

GADZOOKS Mar 22nd, 2008 04:39 PM

I can't feel too bad for getting Duke wrong.

WhiteRat Mar 22nd, 2008 05:10 PM

I had Duke losing to UNC in the championship game. This destroys my bracket. It was fun for 2 days. :tear

Colonel Flagg Mar 22nd, 2008 06:19 PM

You could still win our group - we all pretty much suck. Except Milhouse and GZ. (Damn both of you!)

Maybe the rest of us play for third place?

GADZOOKS Mar 22nd, 2008 06:21 PM

I don't think you can say we "suck" for not being able to predict the massacare that was the Tempe division. That's like predicting 9/11.

WhiteRat Mar 22nd, 2008 06:57 PM

Uh, Bush knew about 9/11 you gullible SHEEP.

Yeah, I still can get a possible 172 points but the way my bracket has been going I expect to firmly entreched at the bottom with Pub and his possible 63 points.

Colonel Flagg Mar 22nd, 2008 07:11 PM

I agree with you, except about being the lowest point total - I still think I'll lose the worstest. But that doesn't matter - we'll still keep checking in to see how we're doing until the last weekend. That's the "madness". And it's still fun.

Pentegarn Mar 23rd, 2008 08:44 AM

You know it was a bad night for almost everyone when I had a terrible score and am still somehow in second place.

Don't worry though, it won't last. :lol

Esuohlim Mar 23rd, 2008 05:04 PM

I can't believe how close these games have been. Most of them are up in the air until literally the last second. :(

GADZOOKS Mar 23rd, 2008 06:25 PM

I can't watch the games today. Tennesee and Texas almost blew it apparently.

Colonel Flagg Mar 23rd, 2008 06:31 PM

Yeah, if Tennessee had blown it, I would be in better shape. That was one of my upsets. Fuck.

Pentegarn Mar 24th, 2008 08:13 PM

This bracket is a mess, I am in dead last as of the end of this round at my work pool.

WhiteRat Mar 26th, 2008 06:13 PM

I'm currently 16th out of a total pool of 20 at work. As long as I don't finish dead last I can maintain at least a shred of dignity.

GADZOOKS Mar 26th, 2008 07:00 PM

Im tied in 5th place with 6 other people in mine. (we only have 15 total) :(

Pentegarn Mar 28th, 2008 06:35 AM

While I am still in 2nd for now, that will certainly change considering I have no teams in one of the two brackets left to be played this round.

WhiteRat Mar 28th, 2008 12:55 PM



Yikes, looks like I have a very good chance to finish last. Sorry Pub, your bracket is so good that it doesn't count anymore.

Pub Lover Mar 28th, 2008 01:11 PM

I was thinking the same thing, I was hoping for major upsets in the recent games that might dip someone below my possible, but no luck.

Pub Lover Mar 28th, 2008 01:17 PM

I can't find a way to see it, but it would be nice if I could see the people that picked worse than I did.

I'm in the 8th percentile, which is neatly named the Woman's Range.

Esuohlim Mar 28th, 2008 07:03 PM

I sure am glad I didn't go with my first choice of naming it "LOSING BRACKET" :lol

Colonel Flagg Mar 28th, 2008 09:30 PM

I suck. :(

Bring on the NBA Playoffs.

Esuohlim Mar 30th, 2008 05:19 PM

Well I spoke too soon :(

Good luck to the rest of you see ya again next year :lol

Pub Lover Mar 30th, 2008 05:42 PM

All the top seeds got to the semi-finals? That is awful. All the jerks that put no thought into their brackets won. >:

Esuohlim Mar 30th, 2008 06:40 PM

Yeah well the Kansas-Davidson game still has 12 minutes left and Davidson isn't sucking enough so we'll see

GADZOOKS Mar 30th, 2008 07:18 PM

What was one of the more exciting upset filled tournaments ends up with the most boring Final Four result.

See you guys during baseball season

WhiteRat Mar 30th, 2008 08:09 PM

Yeah, what the hell, all four number 1 seeds make it in. Talk about boring snoring. Fuck the tourney, fuck it to hell! (just kidding i'll be back next year.)

Colonel Flagg Mar 30th, 2008 08:40 PM

As will I. I am a glutton for punishment. :lol

Pentegarn Mar 30th, 2008 11:49 PM

Well at least the final four should be a hell of a show to behold. Even though I have all of 1 team in it :P

WhiteRat Mar 31st, 2008 07:55 PM

3 guys at work that picked the Final Four correctly were talking a lot of shit to the rest of us today. Even though it never happened prior to this year, I still think picking all number 1s is the cheap and lazy way to go about picking your bracket. I don't care who it is, I'm still not going to ever pick all number 1s.

Colonel Flagg Mar 31st, 2008 08:01 PM

You can facial all those guys next year when they do the same thing and NO number ones make it to the Final Four.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

WhiteRat Mar 31st, 2008 08:27 PM

Colonel, I like your style.

Pentegarn Mar 31st, 2008 10:44 PM

Just tell them what I told the guy at my work that picked all the number 1s

"Way to go big gambler, you picked the 4 best teams to get to the final four! Way to take a chance tough guy!" :P
