Hi, I'm NB, some of you may know me. I run Conference Championships to then determine the Dance Invitations that go out to Weekly Winners and the TOP 3 from each Conference's Regular Season. Afterward I will have Contests for the Tournaments with the TOP 3 also receiving Invitations to the '09 Dance. Last year's '08 Dance results can be seen here.

In each Forum of each Contest are last year's results are also linked...We play Sides only this year until the Conference Tourneys start...Here are the new links and last year's Winners.

BIG TEN   Judthump
ACC    Greeneyeddevils
BIG 12   Smashed69
PAC 10   Greeneyeddevils
Southeastern   TheSandMan
BIG EAST   LazyBoyFanE
C-USA   rugger10
Atlantic 10   Kemosabe
WAC   rugger10
Mountain West   rugger10
Missouri Valley   Greeneyeddevils
Mid-American   Anayguy
Colonial   Greeneyeddevils
Sun Belt   Smashed69
West Coast   Gatorbite
Horizon   Greeneyeddevils
Ivy League   bono b
Big Sky   Redflag (of course)
Ohio Valley   Greeneyeddevils
BIG WEST   poolboy
Metro-Atlantic   darkhorse12 (dark in here)
Southern Man   Eaglesfan01
TOP 25 ONLY   wisdog1

March to Madness '09 (3rd Annual) starts in 2 Weeks. Previous Winners are Murrays_Revenge and realshafy.

Oh, a quick reminder...If you're not sure who is playing from which conference, please do not pick...We have some very irritable sorts about folks crossing the line...

Also, the scores and odds section is great to check EXACTLY who is playing from each Conference and Top 25 games...

Hope to see you, it really helps to have expertise on certain areas of the country...Plus you can see where you kinda suck or really shine...Hey, you got to know your limitations...

Wishing all a GREAT SEASON, (i play some 'follow the leader' on occasion), Good Pickin'...

Sorry 'bout that...
nobrainer says:
01/12/09 02:46PM
Ah, it goes to the Forum...Just click the Main tab on the Big Ten and ACC to get out of the forum and make your picks...

thanks
nobrainer says:
01/12/09 02:47PM

bono b, last year's Ivy League winner, is #19 in the overall Wagerline standings...

nobrainer says:
01/12/09 03:30PM
I had Gonzaga vs the Vols...37 game home win streak went down...Love Tennessee, had a daughter at Belmont...Great state pete...

all i know is there's no better football conference around...it shows every year in the last game...

LSU Tiger fan here...I doubt if that really qualifies me though...I'll just let you have the SEC and I'll knock down the Big 12...lol

just to let everyone know, i screwed up on the PAC 10, named it the PAC 12 on the contest...apparently someone saw "12" and put in Texas for a pick...

oh well...

It's PAC 10...

Here's the NEW PAC 10...

For those of us who only know the forums, i've been here awhile...these contests are where you find the real players, and they only speak with their picks...

if you're a grasshopper, check them out once we get underway...

also i highly recommend the one-a-days, they're hard to go wrong with...

still wouldnt play a 3-teamer but you have a good shot at a 2-1 night every night...

otherwise, as an old friend used to say, all we got is conversation...

okay, hope we have some folks puttin' their picks where their mouths are...plus, it's so much easier to see who the studs really are...

imho

good luck tonight...got some nice matchups...

Bird, it automatically joins you if you make a pick..otherwise it doesnt put you in...curious no doubt...hope you havent shared your password...it's the only way you can join...otherwise, dont sweat it...i'll let everyone know in the forum your pick doesnt count...

If you remember The Great Santini, it was written from real life by Pat Conroy, who is a second year head coach now at Citadel..he'd played point guard there years ago and wrote a 2nd book, My Losing Season.

A great book, his coach told him never to shoot...lol...anyway, they called him out of the blue to come take over the program last year...

now here they are a short dawg to Chattanooga and played much better (covered) vs. Davidson...this was a team couple years ago you just automatically bet against...

just wondering, i'm still thinking Chattanooga tonight...old habits are hard to break...

Phil, you Old-timer, you know Pittsburgh is my die-hard, other than Joe Willie's Jets...Terry Bradshaw is my #2, he's out of Woodlawn High of Shreveport...We beat him in the ONLY championship game he ever lost right after we beat Bert Jones of LSU and Baltimore Colts fame from Ruston in the semis...

Lost to his replacement Joe Fergeson 3 years later in the State Championship...picked Joe off 4 times in the 1st half and he still beat us...Hard to believe he played 13 years with Buffalo and Broyles stuck him in the Wishbone his senior year before benching him.

Plus, Pittsburgh won big for me last week..lol

You my friend, I have tremendous respect for...especially the horses...

Remember a couple years ago when a #8 (different horses) won the 1st 2 legs and I predicted a third...Of course you don't...lol...

I'm personally giving, being as I am commissioner of the Dance and am also the Defending Frickin' Champion, in your honor Sir and all us old Codgers from Wagerline Past, $500 to the qualifiers of these contests and the March to Madness upcoming, who ultimately WINS King of the Jungle. Why? It's What I Do...

So let it be written.

NB, out, see you'se knuckleheads..



now go have a cold one on me and redflag...he's going to burn your asses anyway...lol..

we owe you that much...

01/13/09 08:43PM
oh, one more thing Grasshoppers of Covers or Wagerline...

Visit my space and befriend NB to collect...

Multiple Personality Disorders up to 3 are Welcome..

NB's been around the block and's got no fear...

Now, Wager Onward thru the fog...

Otherwise, all you got is conversation...



oh, don't mis-pick and come cryin' to the members..they have short fuses...besides, I have General Motors auditors scanning the results (that means you can easily slip by) but you didn't hear that from me.



Thank you Memphis for that 1st half 1/2 point cover...nothing like a good sweat...
