I hope this afternoon's conservo-socialist budget makes me feel better than the first two rounds of the NCAA did. I picked seven of the final 16. I am done backing Albany as a good source of Cinderella story. Maybe I need to accept being bought is to be preferred to actually blindly guessing the results of something - now there is an ethical question.
Anyway, the beauty of SP'07 is not only that you can get on board anytime but that there are no regrets. You can pick again or at least you can pick unhindered so question #3 and #4 are:
3. Who are in the final 8 of the NCAA mens's b'ball? Fifteen points each correct pick.Gary asked about a prize. Anyone have a fish on wall plaque they don't need?4. Who are in the final 4 of the NCAA mens's b'ball? Twenty-five points each correct pick.

sorry to be nitpicky, but Texas lost to Southern cal and is home with the remote and the popcorn for the rest of this tournament. I have a feeling texas a and m is the one you mean.
I give up--wonder what is going on with the hockey tournament?

You are refering to the University of Texas? Yes, they lost. I want to pick the remaining school from Texas in the tournament, the Texas Agricultural and Mechanical University.

Don, I am not a Texan of any sort, but I think these little distinctions mean a lot to the folks down there....(and of course it was my old pal cm who got a little misdirected up there)
and think about how shocked everybody down there is today. Texas was a beast of a team, and now they get to enjoy an early exit....

Me? Shoot. Well, I got it right in the first one. Sorry. My bad. When do we get to the cricket questions?

U!C!L!A! Where, where, where?! Sorry, there's some 'SC in the family(Father in Law) and extended group of friends(old mentor of mine Doc Yamada). Just felt the urge. Sorry.
Actually, I'm guessing UCLA makes the final four, and probably plays for the championship again.
