May Madness Bracket Challenge

[joewillie78]

Ok, obviously just myself, CU77 and The MYSTERY CORNELL fan have CORNELL as champs in the May Bracket challenge, and of course most of the rest of you have the Terps.
1. Who if anyone has a PERFECT BRACKET. Probably no one.
2. Who is leading right now? I would assume it's one of us that has Cornell as champs as MOST never even had Cornell getting to Monday. Probably NOT ME as I had an ALL IVY final and Semi
3. If Cornell does win Monday, then obviously myself, CU77or the mystery guy (come on, reveal yourself) will win the bracket.

I am rooting for you three!

Dang, I thought you were going to reveal the mystery Cornell fan.

Maybe Peter Brown will surprise us all!

Ahh, great point. Maybe Petey has been playing us all like violins and is actually a closet Cornell fan.
GOBIGRED
Joewillie78

Regrettably not me.

On the other hand for what’s far more important, I’ve been saving my hate to go all-in on the final. I needed Cornell in the final.

Off to church. I’m afraid my prayers today involve some unattractive evil. I’ll whisper.

God is an Ivy Leaguer you know?

Touché. Guess he didn’t like having fun being a nihilist who hated booze but then found he needed opiates to thrive so making that move fit into his story well!

I’m out of the pews back into society. I’ve done my work. The game is set. God works in mysterious ways.

I must say, from the satellite, it appears as if Cornell owns and operates a heckuva golf course in Ithaca. Might need to check that out, though I guess the season isn’t very long.

Robert Trent Jones was a Cornell alumni and designed the course. It's a great course and an absolute MONSTER from the Blues. My best from the Whites was a 78. I shot 38 on the front in League and since I had such a great round going, went to the back (which is the easier 9) and shot 40.

So far, 75% of the brackets have one of the three ACC teams winning the title.

I was going to send in a bracket BUT mine is an exact duplicate of this one by CU77, so I will defer all the glory of winning to the most ardent of Big Red fans.

Thanks Joe, but I think the most ardent Big Red fan award has to go to you -- my butt hasn't been on a Schoellkopf bench in quite a while ...

That's funny because about oh about 5-maybe 8 years ago, and I think this may be a players parents thing, the father of then Cornell Goalie Christian Knight, somehow nominated me for their fan of the year award, which of course I won (probably was the only one nominated), and he sends me a picture he took of me in my usual Schoellkopf seat. It was about 25 degrees out, the wind was howling and I was dressed like a polar bear with all my NY JETS paraphernalia on full display including my winter cap, winter jacket, gloves etc., with no one sitting within 10 yards of me. I remember seeing the picture and commenting to myself, "man, I need to see a doctor and get checked for a brain disorder" , as no one in their right mind should of been out there that day.
