I on the other side got 2 out of 5 right. I should stick to guessing people's weight or I.Q.'s It was fun though, no harm done.

They all got the Iowa match wrong AND were rewarded for it. A travesty!
And same with BYU-Pacific, except I did too. (Seriously, I do have a lot of sympathy for pickers who go for the upset only to have that team lose in 5. Frustrating.)

I hope you're kidding bigfan!!! What's wrong with a PARTICIPATION TROPHY? They did participate didn't they? I admire somebody who can pick the winners. I surely didn't. And I dare you to say something to that.
