This is the new normal for us. We're the football school and scUM is the basketball school. As long as B____ and Dantonio are in charge that's how it will be.

The sport is basically dead to me when it is controlled by zebras and the FTA disparity is 2:1.

thanks Goose..

however, I have no idea what this means:

Tiebreaker will be your wagering skills.
You have $100 in FunnyMoney
Wager it on the 8 games ATS any way you want.
I'm playing and can win.

like, what's "FunnyMoney".. and what does "ATS" mean?

(do I even wanna know what "ATS" means?)

if you don't feel like explaining it to me, I don't blame you... I wouldn't want to explain it to me, either. Sweet Sixteen Contest 502811600

The easiest response would be for you to follow Addict's example and wager your entire $100 on the team you most believe will win and cover the spread.

I’ll get in here eventually.

I'm lost. I don't think this is for me.

Thanks, Goose.

Weren't we supposed to pick all of the games for tiebreaker purposes? Goose?

Also, if I win I will be donating my winnings to OTPT. He could use some Michigan made treats so far from home.

I didn't make a rule for not picking them all, I assumed everyone would.

It'll all work out, the $100 was the tiebreaker.

No worries, let's see how tonight goes before anyone fusses too much.

I'm in a shitty mood to deal with this now anyway. Got ready to cook some mighty nice shrimp for
dinner and then DISASTER. Went to make the cocktail sauce and realized that I had no horseradish left.

Go to your nearest Meijer and pick up a bottle of St. Elmo's cocktail sauce. They sell it there now. Yes. I know the nearest Meijer for you is probably 50 miles away.
