Pman wins inaugural CougCenter Bracket Challenge!

by Jeff Nusser on Apr 7, 2009 6:29 PM PDT in Miscellaneous Blog Stuff

And with one final North Carolina blitz, what was fated on March 15 finally came to fruition as Pman asserted his dominance over the rest of the CougCenter community by winning the first annual CougCenter Bracket Challenge.

For his victory, Pman is now the proud owner of a Sonics jersey -- I believe he has expressed an interest in the Bones Barry version -- as well as a DVD copy of the senior day win over Arizona State.

North Carolina's victory also meant that someone around here looks like they know something about college basketball, as Grady (Saved By Capers) wedged his way into a four-way tie for second, 11 points off the lead. Others in second were From Way Downtown, WSU Tru Coug and dflynnwsu.

Me? At least I didn't finish last.

Congrats Pman!

Nuss, feel free to pass along my email address and/or cell # to Pman, and I’ll figure out the best way to get some things over his way.

I thought my final four team out in the first round was bad...

but the eventual champions out in the second? Ouch.

Yeah, I thought they were ripe for an upset -- didn't buy the "light switch" factor

Also thought Ty Lawson wouldn’t be 100 percent. Guess I was wrong, huh?

Damn UNC

They fed us this “bad toe” propaganda and we took it!

This was like getting a 'D' in Masters of the Cinema class....

That almost kept me from graduating. Actually it was a D- for a P / F class. Does that class still exist? My last semester at Wazzu I spent too much of my spare time in Idaho. Honestly, I passed that class by one stinking point. That’s cutting it pretty close.
