All,
OK, so Billow wins the big chimichanga. But what about all the side bets, bitter rivalries and petty bickering that really make the tourney hum? Here's your scorecard:
Scott 104, Kate 92
John 94, Sarah 55
Steve 93, Dana 57
DavidP 89, Sarah 55
Liz 88, Matt 86
Dayle 87, Gena 74
Calvino 79, Henry 71
Alexander 65, Acy 44
Rosalie 50, Willow 35
And now the one that really matters:
KNOTT 92, Maggi 45
Sometimes life is unbearably sweet.
As ever I remain,
Yours in vindication,
Knott the Poolmeister

All over, including the shouting
Well, friends, another tourney has come and gone. I've finished out of the money again, but no matter. We have a winner, congrats Bill, and we've had some good, clean fun. Who can complain? Me, for one. I wanted to win. Dangit.
Here's how the 2007 Hoop Tournament Pool ended up, after the Florida win tonight:
---------------R5----2nite-----Total----Champ Pick
Interesting, no? Lots of movement in the final rounds, but in the end, it was Bill outpacing the pack. Good lad. The silver loving cup, bejewelled diadem, ermine cape, sash, ceremonial sword and sceptre are all on their way to you at Eton. Wear them in good health for the next year.
Now how do I make the time pass until next year?
Depressed a little,
C

Bill wins! Bill wins! Bill wins!
All,
Rule Britannia. Rule Billtania. Our friend across the pond, Bill O'Hearn (or Billow, as he is in my mind) is your 2007 NCAA Tournament Champion! Congrats to you, my friend. We all owe a tip of the hat to our man Billow.
Here's where we are after the semis:
--------------R4-----Semis------R5 -----Champ Pick
More tomorrow when I ought to be working. I'm off to sleep now, depressed that the Georgetown loss left me mathematically eliminated. I thought this might be my year. Congrats also to The Wrinkler. Scott and Kate, who all put in star performances. For those of you who just can't get enough Tracy-Hepburn in your lives, or for those who need something to add drama to Monday night's YawnFest Finals, the outcome of the the title game determines the outcome of what must surely be a bitter Kate/Scott rivalry. I'm rooting for Kate. Sorry Scott. Go Buckeyes.
later,
Meister, loser again
