Moore Madness

I cannot believe the run that George Mason has had.  That is what I get for gloating that the Bruins won!  I wish that I had been able to see the game, I heard it was a good one.  Without further delay…

1. Dwayne 40-21
2. Ernie 39-22
3. Jennifer 39-22
4. Melody 39-22
5. Eric 38-23
6. Emily 37-24
7. Becca 35-26

We will have to see how it works out next weekend.  There are only two people that have teams left in it.  I have UCLA and Ernie has Florida.  I have UCLA going to the final game and Ernie has Florida loosing to UConn, who is now out thanks to GMU.  We will have to wait for next weekend!

Later

Ok, I will try and contain my excitement.  Therefore, this will be short and to the point.

1. Dwayne 40-19
2. Jennifer 39-20
3. Melody 39-20
4. Eric 38-21
5. Ernie 38-21
6. Emily 37-22
7. Becca 35-24

There is still a GREAT chance that I will not win, so I am trying to contian myself.  However, guys, you have to come up from #4 & #5!!

Until tomorrow…

Well, Day 6 proved to be just as exciting and just as disappointing.  The Nova came is still hitting me right here (I am pounding my heart for those of you who cannot see me)!  There was great weeping and gnashing of teeth, but when I finally got Jennifer calmed down….just kidding.  Anywhoo - here are the standings:

1. Dwayne 39-18 (this alphabetical thing is still working!!)
2. Jennifer 39-18
3. Eric 38-19
4. Ernie 38-19
5. Melody 38-19
6. Emily 37-20
7. Becca 35-22

Once the games are done today, I will post Day 7 standings.  That is, as long as they finish at a decent hour.  As my 30th approaches, I realize that being up past 10:30 or 11:00 at night has “lasting implications.”

Enjoying the madness…

Day 5 was an interesting day for the NCAA brackets.  Not just ours.  I believe that Duke was the most popular pick overall this year, according to some news I heard from somewhere. Without further delay…

1. Dwayne 37-16
2. Jennifer 37-16
3. Melody 36-17
4. Emily 35-18
5. Eric 35-18
6. Ernie 35-18
7. Becca 33-20

I still think Eric will come out to win, but Mrs. Moore is coming up - she had the greatest move from Day 4 to Day 5.  While these standings do not reflect future losses, you can do the math.  I don’t think we have had a champion who has won with their final pick out before the sweet sixteen.  I could be wrong on that, but I don’t think so.  This would mean that Emily, Jennifer, and Becca are out.  Day 5 may knock some more of us out.  If I am going to win, I need Villanova to lose!! Sorry Eric.  I will post late tonight or early tomorrow for Day 6 standings.  DJ has a soccer game in the morning, they are calling for snow/snow flurries.  That game will be interesting, won’t it?

I knew the alphabetical thing would work out to my advantage!!  Just kidding….sort of.  I like Day 4.  That being said, here are the standings…

1. Dwayne 35-14
2. Jennifer 35-14
3. Eric 33-16
4. Ernie 33-16
5. Melody 33-16
6. Emily 32-17
7. Rebecca 31-18

We have a break for the next few days.  Feel free to blog anytime during then.  Check back - I may post some news stories throughout the week.  Check out the NIT tournament.  I will be viewing one game tomorrow night.  Matt and I are going to watch Clemson Take on U 0f L here at Freedom Hall.  I am so excited to go see my Tigers play!

Enjoy!!

Wow, Day 3 flew by - it seems as if I just posted Day 2 standings (ha-ha-ha)!!  Intersting brackets today.  Illiniois and Tennessee did us all dirty.  Tennesee did Emily the most dirty (sorry Em).  So, here are the Day 3 standings:

1. Jennifer 31-10
2. Dwayne 30-11
3. Eric 29-12
4. Ernie 29-12
5. Emily 28-13
6. Melody 28-13
7. Becca 27-14

Well there it is!  We will see how tomorrow pans out.  Maybe I can take over Jennifer.  Maybe not.  We will not get to watch any games tomorrow - we do not get CBS at church.  I will post Day 4 standings tomorrow night when we get home and I can get the scores.

Later…

I know…I know…they’re late.  But at least they are here right?  Before I start the list, I will say that after Day 2, there is a surprising leader!!  This leader, again, after Day 2, picked the entire Washington DC bracket correctly!!  So, without further delay…

1. Jennifer 26-7 
2. Ernie 25-8 
3. Dwayne 24-9
4. Eric 24-9
5. Emily 22-11
6. Melody 22-11
7. Rebecca 21-12

Again, an unlikely leader (no offense honey!) and an unlikely person in last place (from an historical standpoint)!  I am glad to see that the three guys occupy places 2-4. 

I will post the Day 3 standings later tonight after the games are finished.  My apologies on the delay of the Day 2 standings.  As always, if I have made a mistake, please let me know.

Enjoying the madness…

Here are the official Day 1 Standings.  If I have something wrong for some reason - let me know!

1. Eric 13-4
2. Ernie 13-4 
3. Dwayne 12-5
4. Jennifer 12-5
5. Emily 11-6
6. Melody 11-6
7. Rebecca 11-6

Note that the difference between 1st and 7th place is only two games.  It is interesting how we have all picked rather similar - at least for Day 1.  Day 2 will most likely bring some separation.
