Chet--that's a joke. I'm not anti-Italian....I don't care....but it used to make me laugh at how Irish/German-Americans in the city used to dislike Italian-Americans, and vice-versa. Completely joking.

Is this the year of Spaulding!?!?!?!?

Of course it is!!

I usually disappear for this, but I was on Team Spaulding last year, and if we're revving that up again....count me in.

I actually really do value Spaulding as a poster.

More Unsolicited Suggestions for Brick:

1) Ok, re-submitting by Bosom Buddies idea, which is freaking gold
2) How about Best Former Poster? (I vote leash)
3) Best Practically-Former Poster? (I vote Nas)
4) The Hawger Award for Returning Posters (I vote Hawg)
5) The Downstate Award (Le Prix Rural)
6) Best Posts about Percussion
7) Best Expatriate (not best ex-b.itch, but an actual former Chicagovolk)

I have more ideas if you would like them, Brick. Shoot me or one of my mults a PM if you'd like to discuss ("don't need to discuussssss much") more. Thank you.

My runs have looked like Purdue under Painter. I get to the sweet 16 but can't get past that round. At least I'm not IU though and I still make the tourney every year.

German Americans hate the Irish too. Hell, all Americans do. Probably all Germans too. Hell, my Scottish ancestors changed his name because people get pronouncing it like he was a god damn Irishman. His words, not mine. Frankly though, I think he only shopped at The If it’s not Scottish It’s Crap store in Iowa City and St. John, PEI.

Off topic but I'd like everyone to know I have stage 11(that's one more than 10) cancer and I have roughly 3 weeks and 4 days to live(depending on how Brick has laid out his scheduling).

My great grandmother was 100% Italian and it was like a dirty secret in our family with my half-Italian grandfather claiming his mother was French. People are very strange.

Which means you will miss the awards banquet if you win.

A vote for Nardi should be suppressed.

That reminds me of Lidia Bastianich, a chef on PBS that always touts her Italian roots although her family was from what turned into Albania or Yugoslavia.

Which I guess she feels is worse. As if her viewers care.

No worries. I couldn't even beat a guy I never heard of last year. Tiny Tim or some shit. People would say "Tiny never posts. I'm still voting for him". Tell me Seacrest, you ever get picked last for teams? Yeah, me neither, and I was usually the captain. But NOW I empathize.

I went to her NY restaurant (Felidia) based on a colleague's recommendation and it was terribly overpriced and the food was meh. I think she was partners with Mario Batali in Eataly before his canceling and she might own it all now, not sure. She seems like a decent chef but there was always something that seemed phony about her.

Oh really? This Irish/German-American liked a lot of Italian-Americans and I think that feeling was mutual. Their moms loved me. The dads were a little disappointed I think but understood their sons to some degree.

First of all, thank you to bigfan, I mean the three wisemen, I mean the two wisemen for once again green lighting this. There will be a section created for it. This will be the only thread for this posted anywhere but the CFMB March Madness section but I may bump it from time to time.

This will be the twelfth annual March Madness tournament.
2009 winner: Dr. Kenneth Noisewater
2010 winner: rogers park bryan
2011 winner: Terry's Peeps
2012 winner: Douchebag
2013 winner: OKC
2014 winner: Darkside
2015 winner: Don Tiny
2016 winner: JORR
2017 winner: Furious Styles
2018 winner: Regular Reader
2019 winner: tommy
2020 winner: Telegram Sam
2021 winner: You?


The general criteria for this will be:
Board history
Performance since last April
Increased importance for these:
Performance since the new year
Performance from now until selection day.


Note: I will be sticking with the 68 team format of years past.

Note 2: Limited attendance will be allowed.

This will be scheduled to start next week(first four games and probably the rest of the first round), and all rounds will be done by PM/posting your vote instead of voting on the poll I'll be spreading it out a little more for the first rounds.

The first round will start Monday, or next Tuesday, or next Wednesday, or next Thursday, or next Friday but definitely by then.

If you feel you may be on the bubble for this then post your way into the tournament. I will be watching. Every year there are people who post in this thread who make it but otherwise wouldn't.

Please, no PMs.

Seeding will be based not only on where they would rank but also to make interesting matchups in the first round.

Good luck to all participants and if you didn't make the tournament this year then post better.

Now the big text.
PLEASE HELP YOUR COMMITTEE BY SUGGESTING DESERVING LOW POST COUNT(less than 10,000) USERS. YOUR SELECTION COMMITEE GETS BORED AND DISTRACTED CREATING THE FIELD WHILE WATCHING BOJACK HORSEMAN AND EVERY YEAR HE FORGETS SOMEONE WHO DESERVES THE HONOR OF LOSING IN THE FIRST ROUND TO ROGERS PARK BRYAN. YOU ARE ALSO FREE TO TELL ME WHO NO LONGER IS WORTHY OF BEING INCLUDED WHO HAS A LOT OF POSTS. OTHERWISE, WAIT UNTIL I POST THE BRACKET AND THEN CALL ME A MORON FOR FORGETTING TO PUT IN OSCARTANGOECHO



wait, how do u play?

Explain the rules
