Alkaline Madness - are you interested in asserting the least-compelling bragging rights in the history of bragging? If so, click here to enter your march madness picks.
It's like the special olympics of fandom: everyone gets a 'participation' award! Also, since Nate says he'll be displaying Shocker Pride all the way to the Final Four, your bracket probably won't be worse than his.
PS: Entries due Mar 16th.
for those of us that have limited hopes for winning the overall $10,000 first place prize because all of their picks are based on what they watched on sunday afternoon, i propose that we have an alkaline madness first prize. suggestions?
Yeah, the winner gets to come up with a tournament of champions for physicists - march madness style.
Ah, my crazy bracket, with it's total non-observance of basketball ability, and driven completely by irrational hatreds and last minute excitement, should fail greatly.
I just like picking the names that I recognize...
Maybe I'll win a prize!
I will put up prizes for the best and for the second-worst brackets. Unless I win one or the other, in which case Sonia will get me a prize. Prizes to be awarded at Friday Lunch or other public gathering. No purchase Necessary. Void in Idaho or where prohibited. Do not fold, spindle or mutilate. Employees of ESPN and Alkaline Earth excluded. For a copy of contest rules please write to yer mom. Do not taunt happy fun ball. Big Jim Slade has satisfied women throughout the world, and the capitol of Nebraska is Lincoln!
Oh, so "< small >" is used to change the text size, not <h1> or whatever... nice.
Huh, my firefox at home recognized the small tag but mozilla here at work doesn't seem to care (the text is all one size).
<h1> and <big> mean something completely different. <big> means "display this text bigger." It is a style tag, describing the appearance and not the content of its text. <h1> means "this text is a first level header, a title if you will, that describes the text which follows." It is a semantic tag -- it describes the contents of the text within and not how to render that text, though of course it's traditionally rendered using large, bold type.
While you all, like leroy, wait for opening day: stop to consider what shape the ultimate baseball lineup composed of Nintendo characters would take.
Marquette, I just wanted you to know that I hate you so much. To everyone else: I'm pulling for that second to last place prize now, baby, watch out!
My pick to upset and win it all went out in the first round. Natedogg, I may be the last to your 2nd-to-last.
Oh wait, I didn't pick NC Wilmington to win it all, just to beat Duke and Texas get to the finals. Man, would I have looked like a genius if that had happened :^D! Anyway, right now I'm firmly at the bottom.
McD: I have a high confidence level that I'll be the first in the race to have 3 of your Final Four eliminated.
The DC Homers are taking over! (Where the hell is habcous?)
Sure, McD looks like he's in a bad position. Don't forget, however, that I've got the Shockers going to the Final Four and he has the UConn. That might be just enough (but not too much) to put him into penultimate last place.
I still need the Shockers to run if I'm going to keep up with McD, javelina, and leroy and their fancy picks like "UConn" or "Nova" or "UCLA" (who's ever heard of those teams?)
w00+! The coveted 2nd-to-last spot is mine!
Props to George Mason!
whoo-hooo. number one. oh wait, i guess leroy could still jump over me with a ucla win. i'll have to root for the other team. oh shit, javelina could get enough points with an lsu win. so basically, i need both lsu and ucla to lose. first time in nc-double-a history? oh well, atleast mrflip can't win. sucker.
So, MrFlip, why wasn't Mason in your total homer bracket?
Well, we'll have a winner dependent on the UCLA-LSU game this weekend. Though there isn't much riding on our little pool, it so happens that Josh Levin AKA Slate.com's Sports Nut is 4th overall in the ESPN rankings (out of over 3 million). Check out his story to see how close he comes in his quest for the $10,000 payout.
Leroy rules. You suck it.

It'll be a shame when Wisconsin falls to Wichita State because of the overwhelming number of foam shocker hands in the crowd that gets into the heads of the badger players. Of course, the Longhorns will vindicate my fallen red-and-white by shocking the shockers in the championship game 72-56.
