Wow.

I would've thought you'd have a hard time finding 21 people in here who agree on the time of day. I guess to at least some extent, this represents how far C-USA has fallen in the past two years.

W/ Calipari as their coach, Memphis is going to own that Conference as long as they stay there. Since there is no penalty for playing in a non-major conference in Basketball, I see no reason why Memphis would want to leave.

You mean since the Big East took Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette and USF? And C-USA replaced them with UCF, Marshall, Rice, SMU, UTEP and Tulsa? Not all that shocking to see the conference decline a bit.

I didn't say I was shocked to see that the conference had declined "a bit". But I guess I am a little shocked that the conference has declined to such a point that Memphis is a unanimous pick on this board to win a short conference tournament where, at least in theory, anything could happen.

Two words: BCS revenue. If the Big East comes calling, that is.

He's going to have a tough time selling future recruits, regardless of how nice their facilites are. C-USA used to have a great tv contract for basketball, which it no longer has. Memphis will still be the best team in C-USA, but that isn't saying much at all these days.

Terry is very correct in saying that Memphis would leave C-USA in a heartbeat of BCS money was thrown at them.

The time is now 3:00 PM CDT and the time stamps are whack.

Pac10
UCLA 14
WSU 5
Oregon 1
USC 1

I'm surprised nobody took a flyer on Arizona. They're still a bunch of freakish athletes and they're still coached by that guy who remarried awkwardly soon after his first wife died.

Oh, somebody did.

They took a flyer over them, and yelled "Quack Quack" as they shit on their heads.

Updates as of Saturday mornings

MgoBlue-LightSpecial · Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:11 am

That's what I get for taking risks.

Sky · Post by **Sky** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 3:44 pm

New update, I changed the format a little. With only 5 games remaining I changed the number in praenthesis to the number of games open. Thus, if you are showing 27 (4) you have 27 pts and a chance to score on 4 or the 5 games for today.

Also, props to LB45 who started out in the cellar but his picks have come through.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 3:58 pm

Saw that and thought "L45...WTF???"

Nice run.

If I lose because of Texas A&M CC....I'm going to have to insult somebody, or something.

Did you clowns think I was joking about Oregon?

B12 probably decides this one.

You can only imagine the pain that typing "GO TEXAS" is causing me.

FLW Buckeye · Post by **FLW Buckeye** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 4:02 pm

Hmmm...

Six points back with 5 games to play. Shit.

Quit sticking me with that gawddamned fork...I'm done already!

Looks like a nice race to the finish for those close to the top.

Dinsdale · Post by **Dinsdale** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 5:33 pm

Without doing too much math, my very rough analysis tells me if Kansas wins today, Sis probably takes it. If Texas wins, I'll probably come out on top.

My over-the-top homer pic is looking like the difference maker.

Final standings. Thanks to everyone for playing.

Cicero · Post by **Cicero** » Mon Mar 12, 2007 2:59 pm

Thanks for setting it up Sky. The Texas/Kansas game had me sweating a little bit.

I still like Kansas to take it all.

Dinsdale got his picks in exactly one minute before I did, so that gets him the #2 spot. Directly under Cicero. Tiberious is gonna be jealous.

Props to Cicero.

Kinda cool that it came down to an OT game, I guess.
