Moore Madness

Becca has emailed the final standings to me this morning. We can now, officially, declare Jennifer the wiener winner. Oh yeah! Well, at least Emily didn’t win. That is all I really care about. Of course, she was asking for me to bow down to her in the last post - what was up with that?

Final Standings:

Jenny (43-21)
Becca (41-23)
Dad (39-25)
Emily (38-26)
Mom (36-28)
Dwayne Sr (36-28)
Dwayne Jr (28-36)

I am actually very glad to see that Emily made it above me in the rankings. That warms my heart after such a sad display from a few days ago….

UPDATE: This is Jennifer’s second MooreMadness Cup.  Her last win [or the last time she was a wiener - did she ever really stop?] came 10 years ago in the first official MooreMadness competition.  Way to go Jenny!!

Jennifer            43-18
Rebecca            41-20
Dad                    39-22
Emily                37-24
Mom                 36-25
Dwayne Sr       36-25
Dwayne Jr       27-34

Contrary to popular opinion (**BECCA**), it is not that I have been reluctant to post the standings.  I have been a bit too busy to keep up with the brackets lately….  So if anyone wants to manage the brackets (wins/losses) and let me know so I can post them, then email me!  I would be happy to pass that torch on to you!

Without further adieu:

1.  Rebecca (25-8) [I think I just threw up in my mouth a little…]
2.  Ernie  (24-9)
3.  Emily (23-10) [okay…it is official….that was upchuck…]
4. Jennifer (23-10)
5. Melody (22-11)
6. Dwayne Sr (21-12)
7. Dwayne Jr (17-12)**

** Junior Division

The first game of the 2008 March Madness Season just ended. If you picked Mount St. Mary’s, then congrats! (Most of you picked Mount St. Mary’s as you can see below.)

The picks that I received for the Play-on Game were as follows:

• Rebecca - Mount St. Mary’s
• Jennifer - Mount St. Mary’s
• Emily - Mount St. Mary’s
• Melody - Coppin St.
• Ernie - Mount St. Mary’s
• Dwayne Sr. - Coppin St.
• Eric - no pick

In the Junior Division, here are the picks that I have:

• Dwayne Jr. - Coppin St.
• Amberly - no pick
• Mitchell - no pick

As I stated earlier, congrats if you picked Mount St. Mary’s…they won (69-60 over Coppin St.). So that leaves most of you with a win and a few of us with a loss. Below you will find the current standings headed into Thursday’s action. As always, it goes in order of most wins and that, if tied, by alphabet.

MooreMadness

1. Emily (1-0)
2. Ernie (1-0)
3. Jennifer (1-0)
4. Rebecca (1-0)
5. Dwayne Sr. (0-1)
6. Eric (0-1)
7. Melody (0-1)

Junior Division

1. Amberly (0-1)
2. Dwayne Jr. (0-1)
3. Mitchell (0-1)

Here are the Day 8 Standings - it is nothing that we did not already know…..Emily is NOT in the lead!!! 

1. Ernie (50-11)
2. Emily (48-13)
3. Jennifer (46-15)
4. Becca (46-15)
5. Dwayne Sr. (44-17)
6. Eric (44-17)
7. Melody (41-20)

I was looking back through some of the Moore Madness brackets that Ernie had filed away and we are actually doing pretty good compared to years past.  There was one year, I believe, where only the winner of the Moore Cup had a winning record!  And that was just barely a winning record.  So for even the last place person to be 41-20, that is pretty good!

Stay tuned for an important Moore Madness announcement……

Here are the postings from Day 7. If there continues to be threats made by a certain party, they will be banned from mooremadness.com FOREVER!!!! Of course, the odds of her being quiet and NOT whining are tremendously small. Hey Emily, it’s only slander if it is untrue (Law 101).

1. Ernie (48-11)
2. Emily (47-12)
3. Becca (45-14)
4. Jennifer (45-14)
5. Dwayne (43-16)
6. Eric (42-17)
7. Melody (40-19)

UPDATE!!
Dwayne and Ernie were the only ones to go 2-0 yesterday - Jennifer was the only one to go 0-2. Well, we might as well throw Emily in there as well because she is a loser!

Here are the standings after Friday night’s games. Notice the “lead change.” Some might argue that it is not in alphabetical order, but anything I can do to upset Emily - I will……

1. Ernie (46-11)
2. Emily (46-11)
3. Jennifer (45-12)
4. Becca (44-13)

Yes, yes, I know…these are coming out a bit late. Get over it! Just kidding. Sorry they are out late, but thanks to my trusty sidekick, Becca, everyone already knows where they stand. But, for the sake of formality, here we go:

Here are the standings after the play-in game:

More to follow in the coming days!

Who would have thought at the beginning of the tournament that Florida would be the champion?  Better yet, who would have predicted (aside from a male) that there would have been a Moore Man on top at the end of the dance?  Here are the Day 10 (Final) Standings:

1. Dwayne 41-23
2. Ernie 39-25
3. Jennifer 39-25
4. Melody 39-25
5. Eric 38-26
6. Emily 37-27
7. Rebecca 35-29

I guess I HAVE to delcare myself the 2006 winner of the Moore Cup Trophy!  Yeehaw!!

I believe I heard that there will be an audio file of the winner’s acceptance speech later today.  No press conference has been set as of yet.

 

Well, we did not stay up to watch the UCLA/LSU game, but it looks like it was a good one.  We did watch the Florida/George Mason game and saw GMU almost make a run there at the end of the second half.  Anywhoo!  Here are the Day 9 Standings:

1. Dwayne Sr. 41-22
2. Ernie 39-24
3. Jennifer 39-24
4. Melody 39-24
5. Eric 38-25
6. Emily 37-26
7. Rebecca 35-28

I will wait and post the final standings until Monday night or Tuesday moring.
