three the old-fashioned way

3/18/08

Last call for entrance into the xtcian March Madness Pool! Just leave a comment below with your correct address in the "email" field and I'll send you the link. Yes, I realize there might be some ties for first place, but if this happens, all the 1st-place winners will get their own blog for a day.

The rest of the top five will all get a li'l something as well!

Great photo. Oh, how I loved Dean Smith!

Check out Dapper Dean pointing to the player who made the assist.

Life is so much better here Dook country with our wins and their losses. Go Heels!

Okay, count me in! I usually do well the first few rounds and then crash and burn by the Sweet 16...

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

If there's a good reason to come out of the lurking closet, it must be a tournament pool. Count me in if you'll have me.

I'm in. Do we get bonus points for already picking the Mt. Saint Mary's win yesterday?

Posted by: wottop at March 19, 2008 06:02 AM

I'll play.

I would like to particpate just for the trash talking. Well... and the camaraderie. But mostly the trash talking.

Let's do this.

I finally got around to reading the full transcript of Obama's speech yesterday about race, and I should post this comment on yesterday's entry (but the 71 plus comments are a bit overwhelming). . .but I gotta say that

even if I were not already supporting Obama, I would vote for him based on THIS SPEECH AND THIS SPEECH ONLY. Obama articulates race relations and the current cultural atmosphere so well that I feel like plastering my Honda with Obama! stickers and driving across the country, screaming out my window: "THE ONLY CHOICE IS OBAMA!" Forget Hillary -- I used to view her as a fine alternative to Obama, but NO MA'AM. LFMD IS NOT SETTLING THIS TIME AROUND. Obama has a heart and a vision and I AM VOTING FOR HIM SO HELP ME.

Please, everyone read the transcript. Not the condensed version for idiots that you can find on the daily news sites, the whole thing. OK?

Oh, and GO HEELS.

Sweet! I'm in!

Posted by: Rob MacD at March 19, 2008 10:09 AM

Me too, please.

Posted by: Ellen at March 19, 2008 10:31 AM

Count me in! Go Heels!

Posted by: dan tracy at March 19, 2008 12:39 PM

In!

Posted by: Ian's Muslim Friend (tm) at March 19, 2008 03:53 PM

I'm in.

But a little explanation.

I always lose bets, so I always bet on teams I want to see lose. Thus, my support for the Heels will be expressed by my picking Kansas to beat them.

Because I will lose this bet, the Heels will win.

Alternatively, if the Heels do lose, I can blog my power-combo of extreme leftism and Islam and drive the people who are convinced that I, a mild-mannered father of two, am "out to get them" (see link above), batshit.

Count me in, though in this group, my champion pick likely won't give me good odds, since it'll be EVERYONE's pick.

Still, how can you vote against your heart?

I may be too late, but I'll give it a try.

Alas, ESPN's site doesn't play nicely with Opera Mobile and I'm too cheap to pay 10 bucks for hotel internet access so you'll just have to take me on my word when I accurately predict every single game.

Go Heels!
