ACC Pick Em
Well, not a single person picked NC State to win. Only one entry had both finalists correct- David Watson. And it was just enough to get him to finish tied with Daryl at 10-4. The tiebreaker was whoever submitted their entry first, and Dave-O beat out Daryl by a little over two hours.Paulie got with Dave-O on his prize. He selected the $25 Cracker Barrel card. Daryl gets the $15 Panera card.
We will also be doing an NCAA Tournament Pick Em. The Selection Show is scheduled for March 16 at 7:00.
Currently, the Cards are a projected 2-seed in the Fort Wayne Regional with Maryland the projected 1-seed.
Happy Tuesday and Go Cards!

Hey, been out of the loop a few days my next door neighbor died. She was 90 and basically had no one in town. I couldn't get her to answer the phone a few days ago, went over there, no one answered the door. Car was still in garage. Called her son out of town, he suggested I call police. They entered and found her dead in bed. I had seen her on Thursday, so, the coroner thinks she had a stroke and died on Friday.
ReplyDeleteBTW. The son is a real a$$hole. If you have parents still living, be nice and check up on them. Especially if they are elderly. The thought of her dying all alone -- well, enough said. He's not even having a showing, just a burial.
Anyway, Tough loss Cards WBB. they'll come back though and have a good tournament

This is very eerie, Curtis. Our next door neighbor died yesterday She was 92. She was out ith her boys, complained about not feeling good. They took her to the ER, she was admitted and died several hours later of a stroke.
DeleteI've known her since I was seven, so it's a huge loss. Her boys loved her quite a bit, though, and were always checking on her.
