Michigan is a young team so hopefully L'ville's experience will shine through.

Oh well, was fun while it lasted. Justin, I think now it's just a battle between you & Keith for 2nd place! We'll see how Louisville does against Michigan come Monday night (I'm leaning towards Michigan in this one!)

Will funds be provided in cash to winners? Perhaps at a monthly BOA meet?

I will hold the money ransom until I get the winners here, with either wrenches or detailing products in hand. Winnings will only be distributed upon completion of "le phoenix."





----

On a more serious note, I can either PayPal the winners or provide cash in person at the next convenient setting. I'll accommodate individual preferences.

Final game's tonight at 9:23pm, for those of you who aren't plagued with a bedtime.

[Tru2Chevy]

Louisville wins!

And not that it matters, but I correctly guessed the final score too

- Justin

[Blackbirdws6]

Awww yea. How did we both guess the final score correctly? Kinda weird.

Mike - good job setting this up. I would prefer my winnings in cash at a location that works for both of us.

[Jersey Mike]

Well ladies and 'gents, it was fun while it lasted. We had some good times and some bad times. Florida Gulf Coast making the furthest run I've ever seen from a 15-seed, inspiring us all with their beautiful women and luxury-resort of a campus--I've never wanted to go back to college more than when I heard about this magical place. And who can forget Ohio State? The Buckeyes failed me, choking against Wichita State. I'm not going to go into the Cardinals much. I'll just say that I hope Louisville burns to the ground, but Kevin Ware manages to hobble his way out of the city first.




Now, let's get down to the points.

• Our 2013 NJFBOA Champion, and resident ginger, none other than Mr. BLS himself! After the Cookie Controversy of 2012, we weren't sure if we were going to lose our beloved sponsor, but he graced us with his presence again this year and took the lead. In a moment of desperation, Brian texted me earlier in the tournament saying, "I need to taste that victory." I hope it's sweet and delicious, BLS! Congratulations, buddy. I can't wait to see how many cherries and milkshakes you buy with this $200 prize.

• 2nd Place, and winner of "The LT1" award is our very own Shah, his majesty Tru2Chevy. A last minute addition to the pool, Justin was tentative about the outcome of his fate. However, despite all this, he still placed 2nd, only ONE pick behind 1st place. Now, there were some rumors circulating amongst the commonfolk that perhaps the boss joined late, after realizing that he could leverage his Ban Hammer against those who stood in his way. However, that's neither here nor there. Justin- I award you 2nd place, and 2 good steaks! Please let me know how you'd like your 75 points.

• That leaves 3rd place. A man so mysterious, he only comes out of the woodwork for the occasional suspension or photography thread: Keith, "I-wish-I-Chose-A-Better-Nickname" Creeper! Like I told you guys earlier, it's the quiet ones you need to watch out for. Now, admittedly, third place doesn't pay out too much in a smaller pot like this, but that's why we call this trophy the "Have A Cookie!" spot. I will drop off your 25 points this week.

• Finally, the "HAA" or the "Horses Ass Award" goes to James "I-Love-Mustangs" PolarBear, with a whopping 29 points. Let me tell you, I'm shocked --shocked!-- that (11)Minnesota, (13)Montana and (15)Albany didn't make it further in the tournament than they did! Just an absolute national travesty. 'Bear, or someone else in the know, please send me your postal address, and I will have your professionally printed photographs sent your way.

Here are your final standings:



As always, it was fun. Congrats to everyone, and I hope we can make this tradition continue to grow next year as well!

Ha! I hadn't noticed that before. We'll have to make sure there is another tiebreaker in place for next year.

Ahh....Didn't you know guys were fearful of the BanHammer™. I'll make sure to break it out next year if my picks don't pan out as well as they did this year.

Thanks for putting this together Mike!

I'll collect it from Mike next time I see him and stuff it in your mailbox while you aren't home. Or maybe tape it to your front door so the neighbors can admire it!

$5 is better than nothing! and infinitely more money than is in my wallet right now! I'm thrilled with 3rd considering this year is the first time I have ever watched an entire college basketball game in my life

Come and get it.

[PolarBear]

Where is "come and get it" ?

[Jersey Mike]

N. Randolphville Rd, Piscataway. You'll know which house; Just lay on the horn 'til I come out.






Text me and we'll work it out. I could bring it to Lambertville next time, if you don't feel like driving up North







*edit*
Justin, shoot me a text to figure out if you'd like me to PayPal you, send a check, or just give you cash next time I see you.

[Blackbirdws6]

You going to the meet this month? Want my winnings for milkshakes.

[Jersey Mike]

Negative, I wont be down there this month. Probably May though. Again, I will accommodate whatever your preferences are; If you want datmilkshake this weekend, I can PayPal gift you or mail you out a check. That goes for both of you.

I want my damn sammich
