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?

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.

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

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.)

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
