A TON of Luck

TON knows about a lot of things: raising fish, body hair maintenance, sheet rock, computers, porn, computer porn and even sports like volleyball and MMA. But he will even admit college basketball is not his game. He'd be lucky if he could distinguish Peyton Siva from Peyton Manning. But TON used his head to pick Louisville to win it all and his heart to pick Syracuse to make the Final Four and his 1220 points put him in the top 1.8% nationally and at the top of our group.
Honorable mention should be given to Damino who was the only one in our group with 3 Final Four teams, and also the only one to have the title game participants correct. He was in the top 2,000 overall heading into the final game and probably would have been in top 2 or 3 hundred had Michigan won. But they didn't. So TON got the 320 points, and beat Damino by 10. But the following is not a list of people who did really well but fell short. It's a list of winners, and TON's name will go on it. Next year maybe you can add your name.

2012: Reissberg
2011: Mrs. Poop
2010: Vacated (I forgot to keep accurate records)
2009: Mrs. Poop
2008: Pa Beers
2007: Michael

Heh heh, thanks for the shout out. I think your assessment of my knowledge is fairly accurate.

Paul thanks for mentioning me, too, and congrats again to Ton. I think the 2010 vacated winner was John Calipari.

I made fun of you both and you're both thanking me. Odd.

When you know someone for 20 years, you're allowed to make fun of them as much as you want! When it comes from a deep well of friendship, it's all good.

Actually Damino and I have known each other for 35 years. We were born in the same hospital on the same day.
