Damn it, that was brutal! I hate Duke with all my heart.
Thank you for running the contest. Sorry I sucked so bad with my picks. I'll try harder next year. LOL.
Congrats to the winners of this contest...eom
Really I thought there were several questionable calls that kept Butler in the game, and kept the score closer then it really was.
JMHO.
I agree...WHAT A GAME!!...WTG DUKE!
woooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
way better game than I suspected - great game - BUTLER kudos regardless of outcome
Congrats on the poker......hoping Butler keeps
it interesting down to the end, win or lose.
this is a much better game than I thought. Th site I placed my bets on I cant lose just won $250 on poker and only bet $125 on the games so im done for the night 100 str8 up and 25 on the points so if I lose both IM OK. IM kinda hoping for Butler now
Without a doubt...hard game to call. e/m
I cant call fouls in BB ball I dont know shit there. I was Hockey official a long time and my daughter plays basketball but that is a hard game to call
Yes it is. It doesn't look like
Butler will get any close calls, though.
great game so far
I'm for Butler becuase they're the supposed underdog and because it just makes for a better story. Ho hum if Duke wins. Also, Butler beat UTEP and there is no shame in losing to the nat'l champ. If it weren't for Butler, UTEP would be playing Duke tonight and probably be in first place instead of 20-something.
Please don't fret. There are more message boards, blogs and sites that one can post. When small people taste a little power they grow a mustache and think they are god.
hey I love the dog winning - always have Hell I was a Tamp Bay Bucs fan since the start for gawds sake LOL some sweet that super Bowl with my girl Shania singing half time. BUT I bet with my gut not my heart. last weekend was break even - This weeken I was all wins. I bet small still.
I trade a lot and with sprts gambling I need to keep it real. fun monmey
Sorry to hear.
It's a very short story.

How come you're not grandfathered dude?
Butler has a player hurt and I think Buckey has made a good wager. Add this: I just checked and the player has been given the OK to play so like Buckey says, it's a crap shoot. I've seen the point spread as high as 10 so if Duke hits the 3's it won't be close. I really like the Butler coach and it would not bother me if they win. Except right now I'm in 21st place in the CBS bracket contest so I have to root for the Devil. :)
You didn't bet them for the final four either.
This is Canada vs.U.S.A hockey, anything can happen.
I placed two bets - abig one straight up and a small on taking the 7 points. Sorry Just dont see Butler being in the game
Duke vs. Butler: It aint Hoosiers
"Will it be a Jimmy Chitwood/Bobby Plump kind of moment?" So said announcer Jim Nantz as if became clear that the mighty Duke Blue Devils, with their championship pedigree, will be facing the unsung Butler Bulldogs in Monday's NCAA men's basketball final. The Jimmy Chitwood/Bobby Plump reference is of course a nod to the classic sports film Hoosiers, where the tiny team from Hickory High wins the Indiana state championship against their mighty big city opponent. For the uninitiated, Butler University is located in Indiana and the finals are in Indiana just seven miles from campus. Therefore according to the script laid out by CBS, Duke, led by USA Basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski is the big bad Goliath as Butler plays David with little more than a prayer's chance. It's an attractive script. It's also complete hooey.
Butler is no Hickory High and Monday's final game is far more evenly matched than the announcers were letting on. As Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said before their excruciating two-point loss to the Bulldogs in Saturday's semifinal, "Butler is no Cinderella." He's absolutely right. They were a top ten team in the preseason and finished in the top ten during the regular season. They also haven't lost a game since December. They've busted brackets in offices around the country and in retrospect it's our fault for overlooking them. As for Duke, despite the arrogance they wear as casually as a cardigan, the Blue Devils are no one's Goliath. This is Coach K's first trip to the Final Four since 2004 and they last won a title in 2001. This team in particular, while scrappy and workmanlike lacks players who can create their own shots and depends mightily on three pointers and second-chance opportunities.
Butler on the other hand will have the best, most NBA-ready player on the court Monday, in forward Gordon Heywood. They have an opportunistic team that shot only 31% against Final Four opponent Michigan State, and still eked out a victory. They will also have a hometown Hoosiers crowd cheering lustily after every basket. Duke might fancy itself as Goliath, but it's Butler that knows how to shoot the rock when it counts. And that's historically been bad news for Goliath.
Cinder-ella gets burned tonight !!!!
The Blue Devil is going to have his way with her ...
Their "baby" will weigh at least 10 points !!!
FILM at 11:00 ... ((<:}
Thanks for all you do.
This is how the final standings will look if Duke wins. All is just my opinion, and I could always be wrong though.
