Big Dance hits midnight.

Duke won..DUKE. Ugh, If it could have been anyone else, I wouldn't have cared. Not only was it Duke, but Butler was 2 inches away from being the National Champions instead of being the runner-ups. Well, they had a great run, and a really nice 25-game win streak. We wish congratulations to both teams, and of course the 2010 Bracket Challenge Champion...Eric Gingrich! Yes, it is Eric from tBBC. I don't know how he did it, but he did, and we would like to wish him congratulations as well. It came close, but at the end he pulled it out. He now gets a free item of his choice from our shop. Good job Eric, and Go Bucks!

GPC and Bracket Challenge update

First, let me just say that tBBC and Mali, beat me to the punch today. I was planning on doing a post giving you updates on the Bracket Challenge and the GPC. So, Kudos to them

Anyway, on to business. As you all know, the Game Picking Center takes the picks you chose on the brackets, and adds it to your winning and losing records. The losing records don't even really mean anything, I just put it up there in case your curious what your record is through the tournament. J. Pham and B. Ludwiczak are tied for first place, but there is still plenty of tournament to get some wins in. Here's a picture for you to feast your eyes on.

Still hard to see..Oh well, I'm about to break it down for you.

Here are the standings for the brackets:

1st. J. Pham and B. Ludwiczak

3rd. Todd Reigle

4th. Me (hells yes) and Mali

6th. Ken, Ben Patrick, L. Alicea

9th. Sebastian and Bill Weaver

11th. SBB, Chris, Daniel Denton

15. Todd Hiltibran

16. Eric

17. J. Heck

18. S. Crummie.

Well, I know a couple of those guys started at the top and fell, but I won't point fingers. As for the rest, If your doing bad, don't get discouraged, you might still be in the running for the GPC. Here are the rankings for you guys to look over.

If you must know, I have to put in all those records myself, which means I go through every single one of your brackets and count the wins, and the losses. Yes, I am a nice guy, thanks. If you aren't doing so hot in the GPC or the Bracket Challenge....well...then good luck next year! No, really, you still have all of football season to catch up, so good luck there. Ken and I are neck and neck for first, with Todd and Sebastian giving chase, following closely. Well, it's going to be an interesting rest of the tournament I'm sure, so good luck to everyone, and leave your comments below for some good ole' trash talking!
