Picked 15 of 16 SR participants -- I went all chalk except for Rice (which I have winning nat'l championship), so the only one I missed was Oklahoma.

Had a presentation around lunchtime today. I should do the update tonight or tomorrow night. Sorry for the delay.

Overall I've got 11 teams left, but only 5 CWS teams left. From the CWS, I lost my two 4th place teams and one of my bracket runners up, so I still have 155 possible remaining points.

I'll wait for 13th to tell me how much have collected so far. My picks for the SRs are:

(1)North Carolina
over
Clemson

Rice
over
North Carolina State

(4)Louisiana State
Over
Coastal Carolina

Cal Poly
over
(5)Cal State Fullerton

---
---

(2)Vanderbilt
over
Louisville

Arkansas
Over
(3)Oregon State

Mississippi State
over
(6)Virginia

Austin Peay State
over
(7)Florida State

I have 11 SR teams correct (including Oklahoma). Six of my CWS teams are left: LSU, UNC, Fullerton, NC State, Vandy & Oregon State. Seven of my regionals were perfect.

Please do a self audit on your points as I manually calculated the above while waiting for a non rainout Super Regional to start.

Woohoo! Perfectly average.

RiceDoc has some magic in that beer-stained coaster.

How are Boyd, the selection committee, and RPI doing?

And double WooHoo -- I'm just below perfectly average.

I believe that with the demise of Vanderbilt, I'm pretty much done.

I got 5/8 Omaha participants (including NCSU, dangit), but Vandy's my national champ. Gotta root for UNC to make it to the championship series for my best shot..

Below (within parentheses) are the points each entry added during the Super Regional round ... 10 for each team they now have in the CWS field.

I got 6/8 in the CWS, but 2 of those 8 I predicted in 4th place on their side of the bracket, so they are useless as far as future points. I still have my predicted champ but have lost my overall #2 team as well. If my math is correct, I can earn up to 85 additional points.

I have 40 possible points left. I couldn't even catch the beer-stained coaster if everyone else stood still.

Well, now I really am done. 185 points with a max of 195. I would say it's been fun, but I really wasn't in the hunt long enough to enjoy it. Good luck to those who still in this thing.

And ... Go Owls!!! Go Jackets!!!

I fear our Baton Rouge denizen is likely to win this thing. Both teams I picked to be second in their brackets (NC and Oregon St.) are alive, but my third in bracket pick (LSU) went 2 and Q, while my 4th in bracket pick (Miss. St) is 2-0. I believe that means I can get a max of 30 points in the CWS at this point (of which I've picked up 10 already). So I'll end up somewhere between 238 and 258.

I'm in a similar situation, but with fewer points. If UNC wins today, I will get my post-LSU-meltdown maximum of 30 CWS points (picking OSU & UNC to be 2nd in their brackets) for a total of 236, I believe.

But I do have UNC winning it all in Alan Shelby's Rice Update contest. (Fingers crossed there.)

Anyone still alive?

Well I'm done. The CWS went about as poorly as possible for me. The only way it could've gone worse is if UNC lost to NC St. I think I rang up 20 total points in the CWS. That's it. Pitiful. I had LSU and FSU in the the final series.

Congrats to RiceDoc. By the way, I am no longer a Baton Rouge denizen. Thankfully, I escaped in 1997. Thus the moniker. That place is a craphole.

Geaux Tigers though.
