The brackets have all been picked and the games are about to start. We have 8.000 contestants participating in Hubski Madness 2012.
How will we all do compared to the PoTUS: http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/ent...?
May the best bracket win!

It is on to the Sweet 16 with insomniasexx leading the pack and lucky_cabbage right behind him. Only 10 points separate first from last, so it is still pretty much a tossup on who is going win the awesome mystery prize. Will mk's d20 method prove out correct with its scientific long game algorithm or will thenewgreen's gut instincts save the day when it is all said and done? But b_b, bgood79, scrimetime, and I are hoping that we can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

My gut produces it's results based on a complex algorithm of gastric acids and veggie burgers. -It will prevail.

You know, I'm not really sure. mk was sort of in charge of the spoils. He and his wife just had a baby the other day so he's sort of on hiatus. But if you win, you are in close enough proximity that I think I can accommodate a night of drinks on me.

"Where there is no meat, there is no victory" - Scrimetimeaeous 74 B.C.
–
thenewgreen · 4636 days ago · link ·
Ah yes, Scrimetimeaeous also known as King of the meats. His soldiers are said to of cried out snooool while retreating from battle. Notorious cowards.
You're going down king meat!
lessismore · 4636 days ago · link ·
In that case, none of us stand a chance when it is all said and done. Nothing can stand up to gastric acid.
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
After the first day of action, b_b is ahead by 1 point. Super close. Only 2 points separate first and last. This might come down to the wire!
Guys, what game is this? I thought it was a marathon or something like that...
edit: nevermind followed the tag.. Congratulations to everyone participating :) looks fun.

lessismore, do you know if yahoo sports has brackets for the stanley cup? If not, any suggestions on where we could put together a Hubski NHL Playoffs bracket?
–
lessismore · 4627 days ago · link ·
I think they will offer it when the pairings are set. If not, I am pretty sure I can find a site that offers it. :)
–
thenewgreen · 4627 days ago · link ·
cool. Thanks lessismore. I'm really excited about this one.
–
lessismore · 4627 days ago · link ·
It should be a lot of fun too. Lots of hockey fans here it seems. :)

lessismore · 4636 days ago · link ·
mk, b_b, insomniasexx, lucky_cabbage, and I might be in trouble with picking UNC. Their starting point guard Kendall Marshall broke his wrist in the win against Creighton.
–
thenewgreen · 4636 days ago · link ·
fyi: It's lucky_cabbage with a "y". How deep is the bench at point?
I'll also take this moment to mention that if this were hockey they'd throw some duct tape on his wrist and send him back in.
–
lucky_cabbage · 4636 days ago · link ·
Let's see ... We're down to our third string point guard now with our third string small forward filling in as his backup. Think we can handle Ohio to get to the elite 8, but I'm not confident after that :-(. Screw Creighton!
lessismore · 4636 days ago · link ·
Fixed "lucky" and the bench is not very deep @ point. Marshall is NBA ready, so it is a big loss. :(

lessismore · 4636 days ago · link ·
I just FedEx'ed 69 cases of these over to them. Hope it works out.
thenewgreen · 4637 days ago · link ·
insomniasexx takes the lead! Plenty of games left though.
–
insomniasexx · 4637 days ago · link ·
Holy shit! How did that happen?! I"M THE BESTEST!
–
lessismore · 4637 days ago · link ·
Theoretically, b_b has the best odds of winning. Missouri didn't do us any favors. :(
–
lessismore · 4637 days ago · link ·
Ooops.. lucky_cabbage and bgood79 are right there with him.
lucky_cabbage · 4638 days ago · link ·
WOW!!! This afternoon completely screwed me. I picked almost every game wrong. :-(
–
thenewgreen · 4638 days ago · link ·
Hey lessismore, just an fyi... it's lucky_cabbage not luckycabbage.
Good luck all!
lessismore · 4638 days ago · link ·
The Round of 64 is over and it looks like everyone is still in the running. thenewgreen and luckycabbage are tied for first with everyone else just a point or two behind.
–
lessismore · 4638 days ago · link ·
thenewgreen the Wolverines' loss just about ruined your bracket. :(
–
–
thenewgreen · 4638 days ago · link ·
WOW! Go Michigan State. My only hope to go the distance as Michigan lost.
It's okay to watch basketball on mute while listening to Philip Glass - Heroes, right?
–
lessismore · 4638 days ago · link ·
As you can see, I hate Duke. I hate Duke with a passion. Go Tar Heels!!!
–
thenewgreen · 4638 days ago · link ·
I hate Ohio State. Even more now. Someday when we have PM I'll tell you why I hate them so much.
–
lessismore · 4638 days ago · link ·
I hate them too. Now that they have Urban Meyers, they will own the Big 10 as far as football goes. :(
–
lessismore · 4638 days ago · link ·
Absolutely... it is okay to mute just about everything when listening to Philip Glass.
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
NO!!!!! Missouri just ruined my bracket.... Horrible!! Horrible!!
–
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
mk, Virginia laid a big hurt on your bracket. :(
–
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
thenewgreen you're on a roll!! Belmont is going rough me up pretty good. :(
–
thenewgreen · 4639 days ago · link ·
NICE! I may actually get to watch some of the games tonight too ;-)
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
b_b, Wichita State really did a number on your bracket.
–
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
It was a good run.. but West Virginia is going to lose and end my perfect streak at 10. :)
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
After 8 games, only 2 points separate first and last. Very close.
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
After 7 games, there are still 3 contestants with perfect brackets. :)
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
We can all breathe a sigh of relief. Syracuse survived.

I'm going to attack you with off-topicness:
Why aren't there dates/x hours ago for posts? I kind of like not having the times on my feed but at the same time it makes it hard to determine when things were posted if I'm hubstalking someone.
–
–
insomniasexx · 4640 days ago · link ·
Ohhhhh. Sweet. I would like once a post is a couple days old, put the "posted 4 days ago" or whatever up in the top line. This way the first page of the feed is clean and we all know they are all new anyways. But when I travel into page 6 of my feed, I know when I'm looking at instantly. Same for when I visit someones hub.
http://i.imgur.com/IlDUj.jpg I didn't put red annotations all over it, but I'm sure you can figure it out. Top and bottom is what it is now. The middle looks sweet. edited for completion of thoughts.

d20 was not the only one that picked Southern Mississippi. :)
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
Congratulations to everyone involved. We all got the first game right. :)

The d20 method has some interesting picks. If it works out, I might need to subscribe to it next year. :P

lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
FYI - It is now tied for the lead!! You might actually have something there with the d20 method.
lessismore · 4639 days ago · link ·
Yeah it is!! I am rooting for you to win. Serious awkward penguin moment when you have to award yourself the prize. :)
–
–
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
The Montana pick hurts your bracket more than Southern Mississippi.
–
thenewgreen · 4640 days ago · link ·
Agreed. Not about the d20 bracket, but about the fun.
Go Blue (the dark kind not the turquoise).
lessismore · 4640 days ago · link ·
The most popular pick to win it all were:
North Carolina (5.000) Michigan (1.000) Michigan State (1.000) Kentucky (1.000) For those who are entered and are curious, you can now go and check out other contestants' brackets.
