I don't like any of your guys' sleepers, n/o. I just think Butler is too battle tested. My 5/12 is Arkansas, I also like Winthrop, Davidson, Oral Roberts, VCU, Stanford, Nevada. I won't get them all right, but it's fun to try. UNC is first #1 out, in my book. Vandy and Nevada the only seeds above 4 in the sweet 16. Florida and Ohio State for champsionship, give it to Florida on experience. I'm going with UF, OSU, UCLA, and G-town in Final 4.

Winthrop is my upset special...first over Notre Dame then over Oregon.. shocked.gif

Reason, Winthrop has 4 losses on the season to #1 seed North Carolina, #4 seed Maryland, #2 seed Wisconsin (o.t)and #3 seed Texas A&M. All losses were away.

Probably wrong but it seems as one cinderalla team shows up each year and this one is mine.

see, that's what i know. i guess that's what i get for trying to remember the bracket without looking. i actually think duke will do ok. they are not real strong, but everyone is disrespecting them. they should be playing with a chip on their shoulder. ucla kinda reminds me of how my cylcoles limped in the year they were a #2 and got beat by hampton. if i gotta see that coach with his legs in the air one more time, i think i'll go nuts tongue.gif

I dont think the losses are what you should focus on, these 4 teams are the only good teams they have played all year. I need to see them step up more against a solid team to have faith. The only solid team they have played this year is Old Dominion which is a good win. There Strength of Schedule just didnt allow them to prove themselves. I think that ND will beat winthrop because of one key stat:

ND record vs top 25= 4-1

Winthrop record vs top 25= 0-4

I agree, hence the term "upset special"....their seeding proves the schedule weakness. 2 of the 4 losses were very close, North Carolina and Wisconsin. I actually have them pitted against WI in the sweet 16, only to lose to them again.

VCU over Duke. Or opening game Davidson upset special? I tried to spread out my upsets in all of my different pools. Who knows, one of those brackets could win the big time. I remember last year seeing a guy pick the Final 4 Dead on at yahoo. He was like a god to everyone else, and of course he was just some random guy picking his alma mater. I think he flubbed it from Final 4 in, but still, to get those 4 right was amazing. Somone else won by picking UF and getting the points.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.

      You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.

      Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.

      The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.

      It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.

      We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity.
