PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the

Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue

"SBOT 2013 - March Madness Spread Pool Game!" |
LAST EDITED ON 03-19-13 AT 01:44 PM (EST)How it's done: There are 26 of us competing this year, so everyone wound up with 2 teams owned outright plus 1 shared team, except me as I have only 1 shared and 1 not. Once the teams were picked randomly from my new green St. Patty's hat, with each peep getting two teams, I paired everyone up for the third shared assignment based on where the region distribution of the randomly assigned teams were in an effort to get you each in 3 regions so you would not be playing against yourself until way later in the tournament. I think I got it, but if not. Oh well! What you need to do: Nothing!!! Sit back, enjoy the games... but, oh, yeah, you should check the list for the following: 1. Your name appears three times. Twice alone and once shared. 2. You have teams in 3 different regions: MidWest, West, East or South. *If you find an error, too effin' bad! Kidding! You can let me know in this thread and I will do my best to fix it. How the game is played: I will post the spreads for each day in this thread starting on Thursday when the real games begin! I will be using the spreads from Yahoo! We don't count Tuesday's play in games. Whoever has any of those 4 games automatically gets the winner of those games tonight. If you are disappointed because you got a low seed, don't worry! This is a spread pool. What that means is the favorite must beat the spread to keep the player alive, if it doesn't, the player with the underdog team takes over the winner. (Don't think a high seed is a shoo in, however, because those teams tend to have huge spreads to cover). Here's an example for those who never played this before:
Let's say the #3 seed is Webby and he is playing against the 14 seed, Bebo. The spread is 12, and Webby's team wins 68 - 62. That means the #3 seed is now Bebo because even though she lost, it was not by more than 12 points, get it? If a team wins by exactly the spread, say the 12 points, then Webby and Bebo would both continue in the tournament and share that team. NOTE: PLEASE, PLEASE do not discuss your complaints which do not pertain to this GAME in this thresd! There is always an NCAA complaining thresd for that. Save this thresd for the many, many updates and comments about this GAME only. Thanks!!! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!! Midwest

Nutzy, considering how bad your teams are, and considering that I have three teams that at least have a chance, would you like (either outright or to share) Kansas St., which is a #4 seed in the West? I can't be sure that that will keep you in the game any longer, but at least it will give you a chance.

10. "Counterpoint" |
Considering that I have Georgetown as a final-four team, I'd disagree. I think Florida Gulf Coast's only chance to win outright is if Georgetown doesn't show up, and even then it would probably be a struggle for FGCU.

I'd feel a lot better for having called this upset here in this thread if so many of my other picks hadn't spectacularly bombed.

27. "Sweet 16 Matchups" |
Random thoughts:- Only 12 peeps remain in our tournament, so 14 have been eliminated.
- Michel, molaholic, scubasteve, starshine and Yogi all have more than 1 team remaining.
- Michel is the only player left with 2 teams + 1 shared.
- Starshine and Yogi each have 2 teams.
- Molaholic and scubasteve each have 1 team + 1 shared.
- Remarkably, only 2 shared teams remain!
- Can Oregon, La Salle or FGCU continue to write their Cinderella stories? Games continue Thursday... tune in to find out!
- I have posted the early odds for all games. These will likely change and be updated on game day.
Midwest 01 Louisville - Hobbs - 10 12 Oregon - CTGirl 03 Michigan State - Pepe 02 Duke - starshine - 2 West 09 Wichita State - molaholic/scubasteve - 4 13 La Salle - Michel 06 Arizona - Yogi 02 Ohio State - bondt007 - 3.5 South 01 Kansas - Yogi - 2 04 Michigan - molaholic 03 Florida - scubasteve - 13 15 Fla Gulf Coast - Nutz/Michel East 01 Indiana - Michel - 5.5 04 Syracuse - jbug 03 Marquette - starshine 02 Miami - kingfish - 5.5
