I can't wait to win this year's golden N.

Ugly Bastard · 03-16-2011, 04:54 PM

I'm fine with a gentlemen's policy on da fiddy.

f3lix · 03-16-2011, 05:09 PM

Gentlemen's works for me but only if Shaw doing it.

List of players doing the $50 side bet without Shaw being in...

I'm just going with the win for the Golden N

Ugly Bastard · 03-16-2011, 06:26 PM

Shaw wanna do an avatar bet? This is something you should be able to actually pay up on if you lose. You vs. me. Loser on total points has to use whatever avatar the other guy assigns him for 30 days.

Cocktooth · 03-16-2011, 06:59 PM

Deal.

heurisdick · 03-16-2011, 09:28 PM

When exactly is the deadline?

Orgazmo · 03-16-2011, 09:33 PM

Roughly 12 hours from now.

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 08:11 AM

heurisdick, I've received your $50, but see that you have two entries in the group. I assume one is for the cash pool and one for the Golden N? If so, can you label them as such within the league?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 03-17-2011, 08:37 AM

I won a Golden N two years ago by picking all of the seeds in order and felt ashamed at tarnishing the value of a golden N, while lathering myself in your tears. I had hoped people would realize how stupid it was to compete for a Golden N in this manner.

I sat out last year and this year both to protest this horrible practice. People win these stupid brackets by picking the cutest point guard or their favorite color.

I thought least successful was assumed to be golden N. I'll label them

^^^See! SEE!^^^^

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 08:52 AM

Most people are using the same bracket for their $50 and Golden N. The "least successful will be the Golden N" thing was for folks that buy more than 1 entry into the cash pool (like f3lix) but don't label which entry is for the Golden N. No worries, though, we should be good since they're labeled now.

ID: Go ahead and keep your

ish protest going while no one notices. Meanwhile, I'll be collecting Golden N's, one a year, until the end of time from this childish contest.

heurisdick · 03-17-2011, 09:07 AM

Also, I don't know what a Golden N is.

A "Golden N" is an "N" in the color gold, see various people's sidebars for an example. It was hypothesized years ago that it stood for Nubblies, but a far more devious scenario has evolved where it is only granted for correctly guessing which batch of Niggers wins the NCAA tournament.

angry pancake · 03-17-2011, 10:59 AM

Got my Red Dog beer. Got my vaporizer with plenty nigro #1 and nigro #2 strains of tomatoes. Just like the college days.

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 11:47 AM

After analyzing all of your brackets, I've decided to preemptively award myself the Golden N. I'd also appreciate those involved in the pool sending me their $50 as soon as possible.

Thanks, guys.

Saint DH · 03-17-2011, 12:06 PM

For second place?

Do you remember last year when you got second place?

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 12:25 PM

I do not remember that.

Fruitacious B · 03-17-2011, 12:29 PM

It's going to be embarrassing when you guys have to determine who won the cash pool behind my winning entry.

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 12:57 PM

I guess I would have to use my new hundreds of dollars to buy some dignity if that happened.

Ugly Bastard · 03-17-2011, 03:04 PM

How amazing it is having the games on more than just CBS this year? Where has this been all of our lives?

Orgazmo · 03-17-2011, 03:38 PM

TV deal gives viewers variety of NCAA choices | Men's College Basketball | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

In short: Sounds like their new deal (as of this year, that lasts 14 years and cost them $10.8 billion) allows them to show all games on multiple channels rather than switching with the action like they always have before.

Agreed that it's surprising it's taken this long. Sort of surprised they didn't try to sell this to a cable/satellite provider as a $100 package or something, though. Happy they didn't.

angry pancake · 03-17-2011, 04:59 PM

It's been pretty awesome so far.
