2015 March Madness: NJFBOA Roll Call!
 

I've spent a little over 11 months in therapy, trying to cope with the utterly RIDICULOUS finish to last year's tournament. For those that need a memory jog, I had a horrendous start with one of my last 2 teams getting upset big-time in the first round...
...But then made a glorious climb up the ladder as I crawled over the corpses of you other goons. Now, it came down to the last game, and somehow--which, I still can't wrap my head around--Anthony (aka "MyFirstZ") managed to overcome his shetshow of a bracket and be more than just a thorn in my side a total dick! I mean, NO ONE saw that coming...His whole bracket was otherwise just one giant red mark, except his championship team. I couldn't believe when this ass hole somehow managed to win it all in the final minutes of the final game, and cost me hundreds. :bertstare: :nick:? :bertstare: :nick:? :bertstare:

Freakin' trolls, man...
Did I manage 2nd place? Sure. But it still hurt paying him out. So this year, I'm out to redeem myself. It's 1st Place or Bust for me this year. You've all been forewarned!





Oh, and lest we not forget:
I'm here to collect. See you at Buffalo Wild Wings, Brian! :cheers:

Interested? Drop me a line here or by PM.

To those that already received the link, password is, of course, "bullwinkle."

30 to play, and we had 31 brackets made in last year's pool. Payouts to be posted once we get a better idea of how many people we have.

As a teaser, here's last year's:

Is this thing on? Holy crap, I can't believe that this has zero replies. Usually we're on page 5 or so by this point!

One week away from the brackets opening.
$30 entry.
WHO IS IN??

I'm probably not going to do it. Too big of a pool for me to have a chance. It was fun though!

Adam- if this is your concern then you have no need to worry because the pool size this year is drastically less than last year's 31 members.

What are we looking at? Also, it was easy to throw a $20 at it but for some reason throwing $30 away isn't as appealing :lol: I dono, maybe I'll give it some thought.

Likely around 15 participants it seems. BLS hasn't joined yet, not sure what WBT's status is, and a few others who have paid but not yet actually joined the group :lol:

If we end up with only 15 folks, then I anticipate a 250/125/75 split for 1st/2nd/3rd.

I'm still shocked that I actually had to just type this post.

I have to get Carly to make hers

See what I mean guys? If this Re-Re can win it all last year, then anyone can! :rofl: :kneeslap:

Mike H, I think this is the third year in a row you and I have the same finals/champion or something like that.

In my big money group, I had Iowa State in my final.
I'm having flashbacks to Duke and last year...

I didn't break it to my gf that her winner is oUt

Yeah, don't tell her just yet. Although this may be some backwards ass karma for that bracket name :bertstare:
