Thanks BABS!!!!!!
Also, I realize a few were against DII schools, but all of my teams have accomplished at least 10 wins (unless we're removing those well, automatics from their records)
-The CEO
Thank AKAONI for posting this. I am on a furlough day, which means I can't lift a finger to do any work. Kind of like the sabbath.
and D2 wins don't count, sorry.
Although I have posting privileges, I generally reserve my posts to discussion or American Idol, my fantasy football prowess (back to back championships baby!), gourmet cooking...
...you can expect me to post on one of these three topics this week.
I authorized the two Gonzaga losses over the weekend to ensure I drafted in front of Akaoni and McGrumps,
Correcting earlier statement, thank you Akaoni for posting draft.
-The CEO
There is not a single post on this blog related to "gourmet cooking," or even "food" for that matter.
Well, that should be remedied then...
Or "football." You are the official American Idol poster, I guess.
I'll watch tonight and give y'all a rundown.
Wait - American Idol is on tonight??? I thought it was moved to Wednesdays and Thursdays?
CEO - your up.
I'm just continuing my run of half truths...
Yeah right you TiVo'd last weeks and haven't watched it yet.
I will be out of commission due to deposition prep and depositing taking tomorrow, and will not be able to make my pick until tomorrow evening. Unless I find some time tomorrow.
Sorry.
Take your time, Grumpy. I have no idea who to take and I pick after you.
It's a big mess after Coastal Carolina dropped. If McGrumps isn't planning to pick tonight, I'm going to bed, so no hurry bro.
Bison Bison Bison, book Bucknell for the CEO, and I want a rematch with Kansas, we have a favorable history there!!!!
-The CEO
That a boy - enlarging the MWC - good to see!
Ball State (MAC).
Balls!
Babblemur takes Florida Atlantic in the whatchamacallit conference.
Nice pick GUNZ, I was hoping Harvard would come back to me....
-The CEO
The conversations worth millions:
CEO: "Oh, I'm liking Long Island. They are up on my short list".
Jutdog: "I think Bab's took them".
CEO: "I am really liking Long Island. No one has them, I just checked.
Jutdog: "I'm looking at the site, and Babs took Long Island.
CEO: "Awe, that cock sucker. Fuck him. Who's left in the WAC?"
For the record, I said loser, no what the Dawg wrote,
Babs!!!!!!
Whoever wrote that last comment was obviously drunk.
Oh the pressure. Seton Hall was on my drop list. And then they go snag me 5 points. Dammit. I mean, yes! Hazel did have 28 pts against the Cuse, so he must be "back" in full effect.
This complicates things.
There it is:
(Dec 17, ESPN BBALL NATION) - Weber State guard Damian Lillard is expected to miss the rest of the season due to a broken foot, a team spokesman said Friday.
Lillard, the reigning Big Sky player of the year, suffered a fracture of the fifth metatarsal of his right foot during Thursday’s 81-79 overtime loss at Tulsa. He is tentatively scheduled undergo surgery to have a screw inserted in the foot Dec. 26 and need 10 to12 weeks for the bone to heal.
The 6-foot-2 junior entered the Tulsa game ranked 20th in the nation in scoring averaging 21.5 points per game, but was injured with 16:08 left in the second half going for a loose ball after scoring five points in 21 minutes.
Lillard, who returned to campus Friday to visit with the team’s orthopedic surgeon, also led defending Big Sky regular-season Weber State in assists and steals.
I thought Hazell was dead?
I just paid $4.95 so I can watch the San Diego St. / BYU game tonight.
If anyone wants to come and watch it - 9 PM, bring drinks and a dollar.
OK. Shit, tonight is the point in time homeless count. I'm scheduled 9pm - midnight. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
And no, he just got shot throught the chest in the arm-pit region. Back on the court in just 5 weeks.
However, it appears that McGrumps is dead. I guess Phunmunki should just pick for him.
I believe he's in court all day. I would be willing to bet that he'll pick by the end of the day today.
He texted me from jury selection, he's trying to decide between N.J.I.T. and Utah Valley
I lost my trial because I was too busy paying attention to this crap. You owe me a million dollars.
Bummer bro, sorry to hear that. n:(
A million dollars sorry?
No, not that sorry. Maybe buy you a beer while watching UFC sorry...
Not good enough.
Hmmmmm...
Nice pick Akaoni, perhaps having Gonzaga lose was a mistake, I wanted Hofstra!!!!
-The CEO
I'll go with Buffalo
-The CEO
And the day finishes well: BYU, Texas, UNC, Rhode Island, Old D, all winners!
Gimme the Hampton Pirates of the MEAC.
Mooseye, Cornfield
Nice - within 10 points of 3rd place, and a decent Saturday coming with all winnable games.
Now, we need the newly selected Hofstra to begin its terror through VCU, starting a 3 game losing skid for Gunz's dark horse.
Boston College is also looking to restore their hopes in league play, and does so by taking down a battered Duke (Gunz) tonight.
Finally, Saturday serves as transition day for Gunz, as he goes 1-6 on the day, with the Badgers narrowly getting by Penn St by 4. The result is Gunz's lead vanishes like the fart in the wind that he is, and the leaderboard begins to get more and more tense. All except for Babs, who's hopes and dreams were Jimmered.
~ Lord Jut
Jimmer was FUCKING AMAZING to watch. That guy is incredible. He moves, he shoots blind, he's ambidextrous, he's quick, he's smart.
Its too bad lord jut couldn't watch him play, he had to count homeless people because he's a bleeding heart liberal.
San Diego State was the underdog in that road game, but they make basketball look really easy. They looked really good, but probably not final four good.
This is NOT a good week for me, I'm getting creamed everywhere. If y'all don't catch up to me by Sunday you suck.
As predicted my team overachieved just in time to get me in the bottom half of the draft. Now that draft is basically over, I'm on my way back down...I'll see you in the toilet Babs.
Mediacom now gets espn3, which means I can watch most games on my X-Box! Go BC!
Jaybird: Buffalo - MAC
Buzz, try again, CEO selected Buffalo two picks back.
I would say that Jay gets Austin Pee and Boario can fuck all, but I'm not in charge here.
OK, we got it.
Jaybird - Austin Peay
Boaris - Bethune Cookman
Jutdog.....
California!
Fighting over Austin Pee. That is awesome.
Wow, that was really a game Gonzaga needed, now they must defeat Memphis to secure the bubble over them. They have the win over Ok State another bubble team, but wow, barring a nice run in their tourney, they could end up NIT.
Michigan St.....? Illinois? What's going on?
Babs, you still hating on my Texas Final Four pick?
-The CEO
Memphis 16-4, one bad loss (SMU), 35 in RPI, getting votes in both polls.
Gonzaga 13-8, three bad losses (Santa Clara, San Francisco, Washington St (by 22 points!)), 78 in RPI.
Gonzaga needs to win their conference tournament, or maybe gets in by winning every game but the conference championship game, provided that St. Mary's wins the conference championship game, because St. Mary's has beat Gonzaga twice, and three teams from the West Coast Conference aren't going to the dance.
Sorry, CEO, but Gonzaga has really underperformed this year, which is odd given how much talent they have. They seem to really miss Boldin, and no one has stepped up to lead that team.
We'll see McGrumps,
I'm referring to our early Feb matchup, and I think Memphis comes to Gonzaga this year. A head to head win will carry some weight, hard to put Memphis in ahead of Gonzaga if they are able to get the win. It makes it a must win for them.
I completely agree that Gonzaga has been a big dissapointment, but even as much, they have convereted enough head to heads to keep me in the running. They do need to step it up though!!!
On paper today, agree, Memphis has a better resume, let's see how the head to head goes.
-The CEO
I'm not too hopeful for Memphis getting into the tournament absent winning Conference USA, anyway. I just think Gonzaga is in that boat now, also, although they have some better wins then Memphis.
Both teams are probably able to earn more points in the NIT anyway
~ Global Perspective Man
Should we begin discussing rules changes now, then?
I have a proposal. I think that we should remove the conference restrictions for drafting. That means if someone wants to make his first 4 selections from the Big Ten then he has that right. In the end scenarios like this will happen infrequently as they will prevent head to head win bonus points and would likely be a losing strategy. It also allows for fewer "artificial" restrictions during initial selection.
I was being sarcastic when I recommended discussing rules changes now. Probably not the right time, right in the middle of the season and all.
You are getting the "limited government" itch it seems.
I like it in the sense that you can strategize around some of the picks knowing that x number of folks have the restriction in place. So, add-limit.
However, it may inappropriately restrict a player from choosing what they believe to be the best available team at the time, thereby not allowing the full effect of genious. So, duece.
It looks like we could go either way. But in Bab's communist-feeling totalitarianist regime, you must exchange one restriction for another.
~ Chancellor Jutlordan
All I can say is huh?????
Army by 20 over in conf undefeated Bucknell, what?
Ball St drops second in a row
BYU takes it on the chin from New Mexico.
Vandy follows up first road win in conf with home loss to Arkansas?
Auburn gets first SEC win over just picked South Carolina.....
Portland leads St Mary's by 12
The Big East continues it's string of upsets
Penn St gets Wisconsin
And I didn't even start in on all the mid and low tier conf upsets, wow!!!!
I call today upset Sat.
CEO, call SGII
Sorry guys. I'll keep all of my losing teams.
SGII
Good move man.
I would drop and replace Charlotte, Wake Forest and Western Kentucky if I could.
Mooseye
Damn, I wanted Nebraska to get back to me. They had to go and win that game against Texas A&M and attract attention.
/cranky
JAYBIRD PASSES! GO MORGAN STATE!!
Mooseye drops Wake Forest, on account a they won a game yesterday, and it could be their last. New team: the Texas Southern Tigers, SWAC.
There aren't many leagues or games in which you drop Wake Forest and draft the powerful Texas Southern.. this is great.
St. John's over Duke? Hardy with 26 points? That helps make up for a shitty week!
babs
Damn, cleaning up the spreadsheet of doom I just noticed how powerful Mooseye's DROP of Wake Forest is - he just denied easy points to every player with a team in the ACC.
Musa did the same in the Big 10 by dropping Iowa. Akaoni a little bit with the Texas Tech drop.
Next time lets all drop teams that play Duke (except St. Johns of course woot woot)
MADER..........GUNZ..........!! LETS GO BOYS!!
The Mad Mader has to wait until he is back from work today (around 4:30 pm) to make his pick, unless his wife is able to send him his spreadsheet.....I will be ready to go shortly thereafter. I can tell you who we are dropping, respectively, if that is a mystery....St. Louis and Bradley.
-Gunz
Just sent the email, too, but to make sure it is spotted ASAP....
Mad Mader drops St. Louis and adds U Mass
Gunz drops Bradley and adds Santa Clara
Ball State (MAC).
