First Round - Thursday picks


Sorry for the delay but the field is set.  We start off the 10th Anniversary Danvegas Survivor pool with 84 entries.  So the winner's pot starts off at $672 and the charity pot starts at $168.  I'm predicting a topsy-turvy tournament this year, and I think the fact that folks are burning several perennial favorites early is pretty good support of that theory.  So odds are a lot of folks will be "doing the dumb" and buying back in today and tomorrow.

I will try to report some results as I can, though I have to work tonight which is really throwing a wrench in my basketball and Crossfit Open viewing for the evening, and will likely also keep me from updating much.  Here are the first set of picks:

Alabama: Brent 1

Arizona: Annie, James, Mike N, Heather, Will and Mandy

Duke: Lauren and McClure

Florida: Mac, Herron, Campbell, KT, Little, Dan 1 and Ben

Gonzaga: Brad, Jane, Ad and Pam

Houston: Amy B, Sara O, Jacob, Seth, Brent 3 and Josh

Kansas: Johnny and Charlie

Kentucky: Clay C 2, Zach 1 & 2, Greg, Brett, K, Terry, Chad and Adam V 1 & 2

Miami: Marlo and Brittany

Michigan: Patrick B, Chris, PK, John S and David T

Ohio State: Kelley, Ian, Casey, Eric C 2, Tom, Bobby, Theo and Lesley

Oklahoma: Barsotti, Clay C 1, Bruce and Dan 2

Rhode Island: Klint and Rachael

Tennessee: Scott, Jared, Eric C 1, Sue, Vickie, Michael G, Laura, Ponsoll, Brent 2, Al, Jon R, Kuntz, David, Jon P, Logan, Sarabeth, Neha and Rachel R

Texas Tech: Britt 1 & 2, Deem, John E, John M, Matt and John P

Until I have more to report I will merely note that I don't really need an excuse to root against Tennessee and their gosh awful school song, but the fact that a Vols exit would potentially knock out 19 folks right off the bat is certainly added motivation! So go Wright State!
