Sweetie, you know as well as I that it's never too early to talk smack.

What? You didn't complain when I taught you that jack high was not a typical re-raise hand. See if I help you out next time.

Go Spartans.

I am the one true Spartan! Those michigan staters are a bunch of pansy-assed pussies that I would smack down if I were to ever encounter them.

Fear me!

The only thing I can say about my bracket thus far is that I have no regrets about taking BYU to the sweet 16. I watched 3 of their games this year and thought they'd be very dangerous. They are. White boy just went off, that's all. Shit happens. Everyone will lose a sweet 16 team today or tomorrow. I just lost mine early. That's all.

Michigan State to the Final Four? Are you sure you filled out this year's bracket?

Kind of you not to point out that he thinks MI State was playing UNLV instead of Nevada.

UNLV did have a solid loss to Boise State in the NIT this year.


Edit - I would like to take this opportunity to pre-emptively mock ME and my sucky picks. Wow. I'm horrible. I'd have picked UNLV to win if I could have.

Log into espn on another window.

then click on your username, select the fantasy tab.

It should show you the lawtalkers group, click on it.

Then click on the username that you want to see picks for.

OK - fine, let me clarify

like a jerk - I dont remember my user name so I cannot get past that page. I was hoping there was a link to our LT board to bypass.

Oh fucking well.

And thank you for at least trying to help (i.e. fuck you Seattle wannabe)

I filled out a number of different tourney tickets for different pools and wouldn't you know it? This is my best one (although I'm tied for second in my office pool). I don't want to do well in this pool. I want to win in the pool where it gets me some casheesh.

I'm talking no smack until the Great 8, though. Those who start strong never finish strong. Ever. And I have Vandy and Maryland (won by 3? what the fuck?) in my final four, which means I might be as stupid as str8, come the end of the day today.

But Michigan State? Michigan State? Not only did you pick them, but you swore they were up on UNLV. Then you started posting about the wonderfulness that is BYU? You should stop placing bets on sporting events right now.

For all of you who picked St. Joe's to go to the Final Four, all I can say is, you've got some balls.
