Yeah, 1Billion contest is over.  Makes me wonder if Buffett made a "donation" to a couple of the schools to pull of flop.

If he was going to do that, why would he hold the contest in the first place? Why not just keep his billion?

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

He's not a moron. He knows the odds. Paying a few schools would be a complete waste of money.

The odds were definitely in his favor.  The tournament has been spectacular.   The upsets, the close games and the few blow outs have made it interesting.

Me too! Tell those dummies to get in gear!!,[/quote] In years past I have not picked them past the round of 16. When I saw they got a 2 seed this year I just had to run them a little further.

Am I the only one who thinks the ncaa should make more fair brackets. By that I mean giving some team pretty much home games when they are suppose to be neutral site? Like duke playing in Raleigh?! Wisconsin in Milwaukee!? I understand 1 seeds playing in their state or close to but no other aeeds should be. Oregon traveled across the country and Wisconsin drove down the road! My only problem with march

Sounds like excuses to me. Its the way its always been, I don't mind it. Unless its actually on the campus, it isn't a home court. Most other sports have some sort of home court for the best teams. NCAA actually forces all teams to travel to some degree.

My thoughts as well. Some teams travel a lot less than others but nobody's playing any actual home games. No big deal at all (as proven by the fact that his example team got smoked.)

      How to Remove Verdigris From Black Burner 2.0 Irons....

      By Archie Bunker ·

      You might want to try a can of Bar Keepers Friend. Yes, it is abrasive, so just wet a sponge and dab it on. It has oxalic acid (no bleach like "Comet" kitchen cleanser), and it works wonders on stainless steel and other metals. Try it on a small area first to see what happens.

      My Swing (billchao)

      By 4zim ·

      Fair   My uneducated thought: the big miss is the penalty area. If you want to optimize score, missing into the bunker (likely 5) is better than missing right into the penalty (possible 6). With that, your strategy seems sound and if you hit a committed shot, you get a bunker 5% of the time, take your medicine and hopefully get a putt for par but accept bogey. You may find yourself in a penalty situation 2-3% of the time and accept the associated outcome. The vast majority of the time though you are giving yourself a good approach shot into the green.

      How Much do You Exercise?

      By Elmer ·

      I walk 30 mins a day on my lunch break. It is not very intense (since i dont want to get sweaty in my work clothes), so just a touch above leisurely. 3 days a week I walk on the treadmill for 60 mins. I alternate the incline from 4 to 10 for a couple minutes, once every ten minutes. I lift my kettlebells nearly everyday. I have a couple complex routines. I find just 15 minutes and my heart rates is elevated
