WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER THREE GAMES???

Two don't have the lines yet and the other involves the Gophers so I can't rationally evaluate it.

Official Grantland Knockout pool

This looks fun

Before last year's tournament began, Bill wrote about the slightly insane but totally fun knockout pool in which he competes every year. Republished below are the complete rules. This is a highly recommended experience.

Four years ago, I created a March Madness knockout pool that none other than Cousin Sal (one of the great gamblers of all time, or at least one of the least successful) called "the best office pool ever." I don't know anyone who doesn't absolutely love this pool. Anyway, here's how it works.

[*]Let's say $20 per entry, if gambling were legal.

[*]You have to send in your picks before the start of the first game on Thursday. No exceptions.

[*]For Thursday of Round 1, you have to pick TWO WINNERS. Not against the spread, just outright winners — again, both teams just have to win. If either loses, you're out ... but you can buy back in for another $20 (and if you buy back in, you have to pick FOUR winners on Friday, not two).

[*]For Friday, same thing if you advanced ... you have to pick TWO more winners. Both teams have to win. If either of them loses, you're out ... but you can buy back in on Saturday for another $20 (only now, you have to pick FIVE winners that day and go 5-for-5 to stay alive).

[*]You can only buy back in a maximum of three times (and you can't buy in after the conclusion of Sunday's games).

[*]You cannot pick the same team twice. Even if you get knocked out and buy back in, you can't reuse a team. One and done.

[*]If you nailed your Friday pick (or picks), you only have to pick one winner on Saturday.

[*]If you lose your Saturday pick (or any one of your Saturday picks), you can buy back in for Sunday's games for the final time ... only now, you have to pick SIX winners that day and go 6-for-6 to stay alive. And again, you can't pick a team you already used.

[*]If you nailed your Saturday pick (or picks), you only have to pick one winner on Sunday to advance. Can't be a team you already used.

[*]If you make it out of the weekend alive, you only have to pick one winner per day after that. (Again, you can't buy back in after that first Sunday.) Remember, you can't use the same team twice. I hate to keep harping on this, but you'd be amazed how many times it's been screwed up in our pool.

[*]Once you run out of teams to pick, you advance to the next day but automatically lose. For instance, let's say you already used Duke in Round 1 and Kentucky in Round 2, then they met on Sunday in the Elite Eight ... only you had already picked every other team playing that Sunday. In that scenario, you automatically lose on the next day of games (in this case, Saturday of the Final Four). You are out of teams.

[*]Important wrinkle for that last point: Even if you're out of teams and headed for an automatic loss, you still have to be beaten by another contestant who made a successful pick that same day. An "automatic loss" and "a pick that became a loss" means the same.

[*]Last man standing wins. Winner takes all. Second-place prizes are for wusses.

[*]If more than one person is left standing, they can either split the pot or agree to keep going until someone wins ... which is obviously the manly thing to do.

[*]Honor system goes for the entry fees — once someone wins, everyone sends him their 20 bucks (or more than that if they bought back in). If you don't trust someone to pay his debts, then he shouldn't be in the pool.

[*]Last note: You'd be amazed how quickly this pool ends. Last March, we did it with 27 people and everyone was done by Sunday of the first weekend. You read that correctly.

[*]Enjoy the Grantland March Madness knockout pool, and happy gambling.

I just had a vendor messed up 3-5 things on one piece of furniture, a cube panel. I e-mail him asking when he can make it right and he replies he didn't want to help me now because it wasn't profitable for him. :mellow: I could understand that but it was an add on to a larger project that he did 5 years ago. Not to mention he just screwed my Godfather over on a project Monday. This was at a police station of all places. Some of the furniture was actually rusting. My GF had 4 cops all yelling at him at once. (My GF is missing his right arm from the elbow down but he can still throw down.) Oh yeah, I've given this vendor at least 500k worth of business the last 10 years.

I need to smoke a cig and calm down.

Mrs. SLB was gone when I got home from my walk today. I was in the shower, got out and was drying my face off when she snuck up behind me and grabbed my ###. I elbowed her in the boob, hard, with my left elbow and was about to knock her out with my right when I realized it was her. She's fine but I felt bad even though she knows better.

I'm a little on edge lately. :mellow:

Back to our regular programming. My link

When I was in college I started a little business with two friends: one was a bookie and the other had a print shop. We put out a tout sheet and had a 976 number (hi tanner). We ended up doing pretty well and sold it. My role was handicapping college hoops. I don't spend the time anymore, so I can't recommend any plays. Overall, though, the perception of upsets is greater than the reality.

Gonzaga wins it all this year. You heard it here first. :thumbup:

Also, if anybody else wants in on Dave Lamms pool, let me know asap. 10 per throw and he does a marvelous job with the updates/commentary.

My GB's father that just died was 97. He still drank a beer every day up until a couple of weeks before he went. That's a lucky ******* right there.

Who is Todd Shaw?I have about 19 pages to comb through. Expect Krippling.

 
Also, adopted a 46 year old mexican man named Sosa this week. He likes Budweiser so the man cave is stocked to the brim with the King of Beers. Nothing wrong with Bud.

Retrace Grant's campaign. That would be cool. Vicksburg's just a city, albeit you can see the bluffs that made it impossible to storm or pass by boat. Also, trivia: Vicksburg didn't celebrate July 4/Independence Day (the day of the surrender by the Yankee-born Confederate commander) until 1944.

K4, any way of working in your field remotely? Say...from Nica? Make the same dough as now, but cost of living would be cheaper and less stressful.

Not really on a full-time basis, but I could do something where I spend some time back here and some there and make well enough money to live extremely well in Nica (much less than now), so it's a big possibility right now. :)

In this thread? The path of least resistance (sleeping with the boss) is never the path taken. More likely, he'll go over and they will 'share a moment' like a look in the eye or sharing a box of marshmellow peeps. There will be overtures and innuendo and two or three weeks of "work is getting awkward" posts in here followed by us all giving him job advice as he looks for a new career. And then we'll move on (or in Bogart's case, take down the Valentines decor).
