              • Hopefully last night's game doesn't discourage anyone from caring about the NCAA tourney as a whole and/or from playing CS.com's version of the Knockout Game. Here's a list of who I have playing so far:

                Donuthole
                Mrs. Donuthole
                Omaha 680
                M. Red Death
                scottie
                Flystripper
                Drum n Feather
                smokymtnrain
                IJ Reilly
                Moliere
                falafel
                HFN
                ladyduck
                Junior
                Captain
                Ry Guy
                Clark Addison
                Jeff Lebowski
                RC Vikings
                wapiti
                CJF
                Copelius
                Maximus
                Surfah
                Just a friendly reminder as you send me your picks: you need to make sure you pick two winners from Thursday's games, not merely first round games. Look at Thursday's schedule below and make sure the two winners you submit are playing on Thursday:

                Thursday Games Round of 64

                12:15 PM (14) Northeastern vs (3) Notre Dame*
                12:40 PM (14) UAB vs (3) Iowa State*
                1:40 PM (14) Georgia St vs (3) Baylor*
                2:10 PM (15) Texas Southern vs (2) Arizona*
                2:45 PM (11) Texas vs (6) Butler*
                3:10 PM (11) UCLA vs (6) SMU*
                4:10 PM (11) Ole Miss vs (6) Xavier*
                4:40 PM (10) Ohio State vs (7) Virginia Commonwealth*
                6:50 PM (16) Lafayette vs (1) Villanova*
                7:10 PM (9) Purdue vs (8) Cincinnati*
                7:20 PM (13) Harvard vs (4) North Carolina*
                7:27 PM (12) Stephen F. Austin vs (5) Utah*
                9:20 PM (9) LSU vs (8) NC State*
                9:40 PM (16) Hampton vs (1) Kentucky*
                9:50 PM (12) Wofford vs (5) Arkansas*
                9:57 PM (13) Eastern Washington vs (4) Georgetown*
                If you inadvertently give me a Friday game and fail to correct it before tip of the first game on Thursday, your Thursday picks will be a loss and you will need to re-buy to play on Friday. Also, to void any advantage received from not losing two potential future teams to pick (because you didn't submit enough Thursday games) you will automatically have Kentucky and/or Villanova (in that order) picked as a used winner on Thursday. This shouldn't be a problem at this point, but I just want to make sure everyone knows the rules.

                If the above hypothetical scenario doesn't make sense, let me know and I will elaborate.

                There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

                • Captain was feeling a little full of himself this morning, it'd be funny for him to get bounced on opening day.

                    There's still time to sign up, as first tip isn't for another hour. I have received Thursday picks for everyone but RCV and wapiti. wapiti and RCV, get me your picks.

                    As for payment, it looks like I've received payment from about half of the group. If you don't know where to send the money, send me a PM and I'll give you the deets. I'm not worried about it at this point. I'll get to naming names if this doesn't shame everyone into paying this morning.

                    • A special shout out to Clark Addison, who had the foresight to include a note reading "Thanks for lunch!".

                      You know, as opposed to saying something like "this is a payment for the NCAA March Madness Knockout Pool" like a bunch of you did.

                        DrumNFeather...all one word man...or go with the abbreviated DNF. Enough with the Ute hazing! I thought this was still a safe place!

                        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.
