CBI field?

    Any time a local team is in something there's a pool. I-AA football, NCAA soccer, etc. One year we even had a girls sectional softball bracket going.

    How exactly did you do a CBI pool anyway since the tournament re-seeded in the semifinals?

    Pick the first two rounds and then the champ.

    Check those CBI standings, Cape. I believe a young man by the name of Fry Lock was handed a head-earned 16 bones from the esteemed Joe. B last night.

    Oh, and the CBI is a joke. Why did teams turn it down? Dignity. Which makes it all the more fitting that Bradley will win this thing. Try and find more than a shred of it in the program ... still looking?

    The re-seeding of semifinalists is a solid idea, though.

    I wish that the NCAA tournament would do that, but it probably never
    will happen. If you have two No. 8 seeds and two No. 1 seeds make the
    Final Four, obviously you should have two 1 vs. 8 games. But because
    the NCAA predetermines Final Four matchups by region, you could have
    the two No. 1s playing in one semifinal and the two No. 8s playing in
    the other semfinal.

    People would cry because you then couldn't do bracket pools the same
    way. But you still could pick the brackets for each regional, then
    pick the champion.

    I just need to say that I'm horribly disappointed that my Bobcats were unable to advance past the quarters of the Tournament of Fail. Fucking embarrassing. Plus I think I owe BBAM a beer now.

    I tried to look, but Jim Les' ego is so high you can't get over it. So low you can't get under it, uh-huh.

    Be more embarrassed by the way they folded like a cheap tent in the loss.

    Eh, they shoulda forked out more money for another home game :D

    If this goes three games, Tulsa will win. Because they're home? No. Mr. Friday Night is coaching the other team.

    (BTW, I was fed bad info. Now I don't even get the win/win damn it.)

    Are the Flint Tropics still alive in this thing?

    No. Mannix is running the point for Tulsa, though.
