UWS Tournament Pick 'em 2019
UWS Tournament Pick 'em 2019
It's that time of the year again - where LWNJs and RWNJs can all agree on one thing - root for Virginia Tech and Gardner Webb.
If our beloved Hokies have ever had a great draw in the tournament, this is it. If we win our first two, then our sweet 16 opponent is a team we have already beaten. Or VCU. Either way, it's not a bad draw.

Okay. I'm in. James River Fool
It ABSOLUTELY kills me to pick some of the teams I've picked.... brain trumps heart. If I lose, I'll be the first one smiling that UNC or Duke lost.
With Zion back, I just didn't see any other team that matched my uneducated eye test. Dang, they looked good. I'm very bullish on ACC.

An LSU student hits on a Yale student at a mixer the night before the game.
"Where is you in school," the redneck LSU student asks.
"Yale", replies the woman.
The LSU student takes a deep breath and then shouts at the top of his lungs, "WHERE IS YOU IN SCHOOL?!?!?!"

It looks like ESPN is doing that stupid thing where points double each round - so picking the national champion correctly is worth the same number of points as picking every single first round game correctly. Oh well.
Our standings after one day are:
1. Nolan (140 points)
2. Upstate (130 points)
2. Major Kong (130 points)
2. Hokie Fan DC (130 points)
2. Riverguy (130 points)
6. Bay Area Hokie (120 points)
6. Elberto (120 points)
8. BigDave (110 points)
8. No idea who this is - Medicinal Mets? (110 points)
10. Vienna (100 points)

Re: UWS Tournament Pick 'em 2019
After one round, the Hokies are still alive and have a very favorable bracket. We get a 12-seed, then we either get a 9-seed or a Duke we have already beaten. (Honestly, UCF looked good and I'm not sure Duke is there waiting for us in the sweet 16.) I'm not impressed with any performance I saw in the lower half of our bracket. If we've ever had a chance at a final four, this is it.
On UWS, it's anybody's game. Literally - since winning the national championship is worth as many points as the entire first round combined.
1. Upstate (260)
1. Nolan (260)
3. Elberto (240
4. Bay Area (230
5. BigDave (220)
5. Major Kong (220)
5. IP (220)
5. Vienna (220)
9. Hokie Fan DC (210)
9. Riverguy (210)

Re: UWS Tournament Pick 'em 2019
How sweet it is! The Hokies move on to face the Dookies!
After the round of 32, here are our standings, along with everyone's final four. Remember, we're using stupid scoring where picking the national champion is the same number of points as the entire first round. (And, of course, correctly picking the national champion means that you also correctly picked at least one of the participants in the national title, guaranteeing you half of the points of the first round.) All of the 1's, 2's, and 3's are still alive and so everyone still has their final four intact. (That will change soon.)
1. Elberto (520) - Duke over UNC, Purdue and TTU
2. BigDave (500) - Duke over KY, Gonzaga and Tenn
3. Bay Area Hokie (490) - Duke over UNC, FSU and UVA
4. Vienna (480) - VT over UNC, TTU and Tenn
4. Upstate (480) - Duke over KY, Gonzaga and Tenn
4. Nolan (480) - Duke over KY, Michigan and UVA
7. Major Kong (460) - Duke over UVA, FSU and UNC
8. HFDC (430) - Gonzaga over Tenn, MSU and UNC
8. Riverguy (430) - Duke over UNC, FSU and Tenn
10. IP (420) - MSU over UNC, FSU and UVA

He's going to play. Statement from VT out later.
Re: UWS Tournament Pick 'em 2019
So ... he's ... an ... outlaw???
He should have been named Ty Goodstudentandteamplayer.
Seriously, TOB is reporting that he passed a drug test. So I guess the cops will be apologizing now?
I'm really having a hard time understanding what sane cop would charge someone in a shared apartment with drug possession when that person is on the other side of the country and you have no evidence it is his. If it's a single guy who lives alone? Okay. If it's a college student with probably 3 roommates and probably a constant train of friends and, umm, nighttime companions? No way in heck that charge sticks.
