Not understanding how to get to the group? I signed in using my name and such from the football season but it just took me to create a bracket. I completed the bracket but never found out how to login to our VV game.

Kluden · Post by **Kluden** » March 15, 2005, 1:08 pm

when you are done creating an entry, you will see a "join group" option in the upper left as well with the other four options under that entry.

Just go to that one, and enter the "private group" section on the list, search for vv madness and hit "join".

Then check your entry to make sure it matches the one you already filled out, or fill out a new one

Do you mean UNC or are you really picking a 10 seed to win the tournament?

what are you talking about, they made the Final Four in 1963!!!

hehe, no kidding. i'll keep picking my beloved Deacs though!

caption: the 1995 ACC Championship team featured Randolph Childress (above) and Tim Duncan. Here Childress is capping off the greatest individual performance in ACC tournament history by putting Hubert Davis on his ass. What is not shown is Childress then gesturing to Davis to get up, while he takes his time to set and drain a 3 pointer.

That is badass how he trips the defender by dribbling the ball on his foot. That team was awesome. This year's team is SO fucking overrated.

Wake gets bounced by Gonzaga in the Sweet 16.

Duke over Illinois for the Big "W".

p.s. Yes, I picked the Gators to go to the Final Four. This is my homer pick, and it will cost me money again this year.

Aye, Picking a 10th seed. I'm an NCST fan all year round. If hodge puts up 20+, It's a victory.

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » March 17, 2005, 12:12 pm

Trivia question.

What is the only team from the ACC to make 20 NCAA tournaments since the bracket expanded to 64 in 1984?

A: NC State

anyway, if State beats UConn, that would be sweet, but i'm afraid that is where it will end. Atsur needs to stay hot.

Vetiria · Post by **Vetiria** » March 17, 2005, 4:36 pm

First 5-12 upset, UW-Milwaukee beats Alabama 83-73.

Talelor · Post by **Talelor** » March 18, 2005, 6:35 am

13-3, Not bad for first day. Second day predictions...16-2. We'll see I guess.

Mr Bacon · Post by **Mr Bacon** » March 18, 2005, 9:13 am

I know NOTHING about college basketball, yet I won the bracket last year (not sure if it was vv's) .. here we go again.

Deward · Post by **Deward** » March 18, 2005, 11:29 am

16-0 my first day. I surprise even myself sometimes. I am usually out of it by now but I followed college b-ball a little bit more this year than usual.

Talelor · Post by **Talelor** » March 18, 2005, 11:31 am

Hehe, I know a lil' here and there, basketball never really been my favorite of sports. I just know enough to vote for a few underdogs

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » March 18, 2005, 12:29 pm

not a stellar first day for me, but i've only lost 1 sweet sixteen team so far. that is really the most important thing, picking that round, so you are pulling from the right pool of teams for the big point games.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » March 18, 2005, 12:41 pm

It's funny, everyone said that Bama was going to be the 5 seed knocked off but for some reason I didn't follow the advice. At least I got UAB right.

Really it comes down to not getting bracket busted. So far about everyone in our pool is still in good shape.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » March 18, 2005, 2:15 pm

shitty first day for me. fortunately the teams that i had losing would have lost in the second round anyways.

btw fuck pacific for the second year in a row.

Pacific is a damn good team

yeah, i just always underestimate them.

btw, i just was poking around a few of the entries and hahahahahahaha to kluden for picking george washington to go to the final 4.

Talelor · Post by **Talelor** » March 18, 2005, 11:06 pm

Whew, Thankful NCST pulled it out. left with about 7min to go and they were down. That could have fucked it all up for me. So far, one loss on the day. We'll see though. That syracuse game could end up biting me in the ass.

Vetiria · Post by **Vetiria** » March 18, 2005, 11:26 pm

Fuck you Syracuse. That's all I have to say about that.

Tyek · Post by **Tyek** » March 18, 2005, 11:36 pm

The Orange killed my bracket too, but damn if that was not fun to watch.

Also the first half of the Duke game was pretty fun. I never saw so many ankles getting broken in my life. Deleware players were FAST. Duke finally figured it out, but not until they lost half their jocks.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » March 19, 2005, 1:26 am

omfg syracuse is so on my shit list.

i'm not in this pool but syracuse makes me hurt

I carried them to final four
Now hoping for a bizarro Mississippi state run to the elite 8 to save me in my pool(s).
UNC for teh win, voro wake is going to get smashed

Vetiria · Post by **Vetiria** » March 19, 2005, 2:03 am

And now a 14/3 upset. Kansas falls to Bucknell.

Chidoro · Post by **Chidoro** » March 19, 2005, 10:07 am

but how can you tell me you won't be rooting for both of them in the second round?
Both teams lose in my sweet 16 but Vermont is an awesome team to root for. The coach is an absolute pisser on the radio w/ Mike and the Maddog(in fact I think he has his own radio show) and they have a pro prospect. They never should have been a 14 seed to begin with so it serves the seeders right

Voronwë · Post by **Voronwë** » March 19, 2005, 11:41 am

the Vermont game was a fantastic game.

that 30ft 3-pointer was one of those moments where a coach says "for fuck's sake..." when the shot goes up, and when it goes in he's dancing down the sidelines!

we needed that last night, the first round was kind of boring until then =)

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » March 19, 2005, 12:09 pm

Syracuse didn't hurt me that badly because I had them losing against Michigan St. anyway. Kansas hurt though. I didn't get to see that game

I did see the first half of the Duke game and god damn one of the Delaware players had a SICK crossover.

Zamtuk · Post by **Zamtuk** » March 19, 2005, 12:54 pm

I would be pissed at Kansas, but God did Bucknell deserve that win. That and I knew we all would be fucked.

xZiBiT · Post by **xZiBiT** » March 19, 2005, 8:56 pm

[rant]
The tournament this year has been great but I am soo fucking sick of CBS constantly switching the god damned game coverage. Idiots. I don't care if North Carolina or some other team is beating on a lowly opponent. That is the game I want to see. I don't give a flying crap about the Southern Illinois/SE Louisiana game you shoved down my throat when there are better teams on. CBS is ruining the tournament with their incessant changing to games/teams that 95% of the country doesn't care about. I got to see 12 whole minutes of the MSU game because CBS felt it necessary to decide that I would rather watch coverage of two west coast teams over the local team.
[/rant]

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » March 19, 2005, 9:01 pm

I disagree completely. They seem to do a good job of moving to games that are more interesting. Even though I am cheering for NC I'd rather see a close-fought game than NC winning a first round game by 30 points.

xZiBiT · Post by **xZiBiT** » March 19, 2005, 9:18 pm

You would rather see SE Louisiana/So.Illinois play? Only to watch them both teams go scoreless for like 6 minutes. If I wanted to watch teams struggle offensively I would have just turned on the Pistons' game.

Kelshara · Post by **Kelshara** » March 19, 2005, 9:57 pm

I'd rather watch a competitive game with nerve and tension yeah.
