3. You did great! I picked Kansas to win it all too,

4. Since the favorites won that just means you took the safe route
Whatever happened to rooting for the underdog and believing that anything is possible?

Guess that's just a theory.

Fuck you and your desire to see the status quo preserved.

5. I chose my final four regardless of seed numbers
The NCAA seeded the teams well this year, but they didn't pick the winners. ;)

6. You can't get much more establishment than UNC, Kansas and UCLA
I just can't figure out why you didn't put Kentucky in your Final Four to complete the dominance of big-time basketball schools.

8. Correctly predicting an outcome does not make it "right"
Were those the teams that you sincerely wanted to win all the games?

If so, I'm appalled by your allegiance to entities that are already too powerful.

The little guy deserves a chance, at least once in a while.

9. You're weird. It's a sport, not politics.
Not to mention the tournament is already over. :crazy:

10. If it's not politics then why did you start the thread in GD?
I'm confused.

11. "GD threads may be about any topic related to politics, issues, or current events."
The event was current (5 minutes old) when I posted it last night.

19. In my opinion you need to get a life
Maybe you should take up a hobby.

Like sports for example.

22. Suppose my hobby is sticking up for the little guy?
I get annoyed when triumphs of the rich and powerful are celebrated.

I'm sorry if that offends you.

And I am wondering if you are enjoying it.

30. The implication of your post was perfectly clear
And the level of my personal enjoyment has no relevance whatsoever to this discussion.

29. Don't let people like Taterguy get you down.
Enjoy this win. Kansas deserved it, especially after what Williams did to you.

I hope Coach Self chooses to stay.

And that Rush, Chambers and Arthur choose to stay.

And congratulations on doing so well in your picks.
