Uncle Bronco's MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013!

Used to find this guys posts interesting. Just boring now. Same old shit over and over again. You can't hold a reasonable conversation with this guy. It's like his/her myopic delusions are posted on here several times per day for all the world to see. In his own little world for the whole wide world to see! Time to move on. This is old.

Which one of you meatheads have tried to hold a 'reasonable conversation' btw???

Shit, I must have missed that one! :D
 


















Hi Sports Fan! Uncle Bronco here.

As your moderator for the MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013 I wanted to update you on the the technicalities of MARCH MADNESS as we approach some very special upcoming dates. You will need to stay on your toes because there is a very narrow window of opportunity to make your selections once the brackets get filled in.

A very important date to remember is MARCH 17 - one week from today. That day is termed "Selection Sunday" because an announcement will be made identifying MOST of the 64 teams that will play in Round 2 of MARCH MADNESS 2013 which starts on MARCH 21.

As soon as the names of those teams are released you can count on Uncle Bronco getting a new thread up on the CP Sports Board for Round 2 of the competition.

Now, four (4) teams will play on MARCH 18 and March 19 to decide which 2 teams will be added to the final list of 64 that will play in Round 2. But we will not select those teams (unless for some reason you want to). Our first selections will be for Round 2 which, again, starts on MARCH 21. So I would suggest you get all your picks in by the evening of MARCH 20. If you miss Round 2 you are screwed, stewed and tatooed because that will contain the bulk of the games that your score will get generated from for MARCH MADNESS 2013!

To reiterate: IMPORTANT DATES TO REMEMBER

March 17 > Selection Sunday: Most Round 2 teams are identified
March 18 > National Bracket Day: Most pickers start making their MARCH MADNESS selections.
March 19 & 20 > 4 teams compete and the winners fill in the 64 team brackets
March 21 thru 24 > Rounds 2 and 3. From 64 teams to 32 teams to Sweet 16.
March 28 thru 31 > Regional playoffs. From Sweet 16 to Final 8 to Final 4.
April 6 > Final 4
April 8 > MARCH MADNESS Championship Game!

Where are the games to be played?

ROUND 1, 3/19 - 3/20 (4 team playoffs to fill in the Round 2 64 team brackets)

Dayton, Oh

Rounds 2 and 3; 3/21 - 3/24

Auburn Hills, MI

I hope each of you brings your best game to MARCH MADNESS 2013. I expect some cutthroat competition. Go ahead and go for the jugular but let's keep it clean on the CP sports board. No low blows. Keep your gloves above the belt. Clean jabs are welcomed but sucker punches are definitely verboten. Sucker punches will be subject to disciplinary action by the moderator. This could mean point subtracted if the MAJORITY of your fellow pickers decide to take such action. Now, if you think you got what it takes to throw a haymaker knock-out punch, by all means take your best shot. Just do it cleanly and above the belt. That's all we ask.

Now, as I stated previously, our MARCH MADNESS 2013 MANIA will be a ROUND BY ROUND competition. So at the start of each Round you will be able to start anew. In this way, you will not be penalized if you happen to pick a loser in Round 2, as it will not follow you into Round 3.

If I were you I would submit my picks by the evening of MARCH 18 and after Round 1 competition is over on MARCH 20 get your last 2 picks in before ROUND 2 begins on MARCH 21

You CANNOT submit your pick for ANY game after the game starts. It will be rejected.

Not sure who will be the 1st seed teams yet - but it looks like Gonzaga is a shoe-in as long as they win their WCC championship game against St. Mary's tomorrow. The game will be on one of the ESPN channels if you care to watch. Hint: Keep your eye on the ZAGS. I don't mean to be presumptous, nor do I want to second-guess your pre-picks, but if you bet against the ZAGS you may regret it as we move forward in time.

Good luck to all.

May the best man or woman be crowned Queen or King of MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013! :D

Should you have questions feel free to contact Uncle Bronco.

Not quite sure what all that means. Why should smack talk have anything to do with your picks and results?

Just don't say bad things about the Z(f)ags.

Because I want to make MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013 a shining example of how a sport's tourney competition should be managed on Cafe Pharma. I want to make the Mod's proud of us. No cheating, no fisticuffs (except in a brotherly or sisterly way), no butt-hurt, no resentment when your fav B10, B12, ACC, Big East, SEC or Pac12 team gets bounced from the competition. Especially if the bouncer happens to be a team from a less prestigious conference.

We can bicker like brothers and sisters. That's fine. As long as it's managed bickering it falls within the scope of the guidelines. But if it gets out of hand I will call for a democratic vote amongst our players to subtract points from any and all such violators, particularly the instigators or provocateurs. And if anyone tries to break the rules or cheat, that will result in automatic point reductions. We will have NO CHEATERS in the MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013 competition.

So I encourage you to promote your fav teams. If you want to go overboard and wear your team's colors during the games or sing their fight songs, knock yourselves out. Whatever you do in the privacy of your homes I don't give a shit about. Even if you decide to sit naked in front of your monitor in the privacy of your home with no one observing and manipulate yourselves while your fav team is playing, it falls within our guidelines. With that said, be sure to check your state and local laws and always always always comply with the penal code in all your personal activities.

Now I hope all of you who are joining us from NCAA Football Pick-Em have managed to stay in decent shape during the break. I don't want anyone showing up to MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013 with a beer gut or who gets winded during 2nd Round events. If you go faint or have chest pains during the 2nd Round and feel you may have a medical emergency I encourage you to call 911. Consequently, in case of illness or death, the guidelines allow for a loved one to replace you in MARCH MADNESS MANIA 2013. If you don't have any loved ones, well, I can't help you.

Ok, now let's all shake hands and come out swinging!!! :D

You are the one that is always guilty of these violations.
 






For once, I want MB to step in, and reiterate, that the Mods are the Mods, and we are the posters. Many of us are on an already short-leash, so I doubt that you will get anyone interested in voting on whether or not another poster crosses the line. I have seen very few instances in my years on this board, where someone actually went over the line, including on the Poli Board.

OK, CP Mods, time to step in and remind him of this fact.

Only official admins have ability to moderate the boards. If this forum degenerates into the type of bickering that became the norm for the poli board we will begin to require registration for posting.

History tells me you should go ahead and require registration. I like this board and don't want it shut down. It's also the place I don't get into trouble. Consider it Modfather.

Mommy, mommy, he offended me with his truthful comments about Michigan State!!! WAH! Spank him for dissing my Spartans and supporting his #1 ZAGS, Mommy!!! WAH! :D
 






NO NCAA team w/7 losses to include losses to Connecticut and Minnesota should be ranked in the top 10.

Red Auerbach would protest if still alive. I bet he's spitting in his grave as I type! :(
 
























Answering your own posts. Laughable. I want some dumb-fuck like you, deciding if I get Modded on your thread? Go fuck yourself and your douche-bag conference. It's a joke.
