That's right. I keep forgetting that I took UVA to beat UNC in this bracket. I had UNC-Okla. in the final of my other 2 brackets.

Not sure how I'm in the driver's seat, as there are two scenarios in which you win and only one scenario in which I win. Granted, one of your scenarios, Syracuse over Nova, seems highly unlikely, but stranger things have happened...
Your scenario has the highest remaining seed winning, and also has the easier first game, whereas OU Villanova are only 50/50 at best to even make the title game since they play each other. In terms of probability (check your beloved odds tracker) your scenario is more likely than the others.

You'll fuck up UNC's chances to win it all. Then I'll fuck you up.

I'm sure you have Oklahoma in one of your pools, you'll probably be pulling for them...

Nope. I'm out of the running in the money bracket and the other was just for fun, like the fun I'll have rearranging your face if you ruin UNC's chance to win it all via association.

Half of the people in our pool are already tapped out, no more possible points...

That sounds like a threat from Happy Days...

So, Stu is effectively putting on a hedge by rooting against UNC in a pool? Interesting...and excuse the pun.

Is there already a nostalgia show for the 1990's out yet? In the 70's they came out with Happy Days and in the 90's it was That 70's Show. Did the 1990's even have enough character as an era to warrant a show? I guess they could have everybody just getting used to the internet and cell phones and the joke would be how arcane the technology was. Of course, I'm still rocking a flip phone, so I face that type of scorn and ridicule every day...

We're in the 80s era of nostalgia, right now, with that Goldbergs show (which I've never watched) and some new movie coming out that is reported to be "The Dazed and Confused of the 80s Generation."

You will have to hold your horses a little longer for a 90s era show. Shit, Friends and Seinfeld are still syndicated strong. We haven't gone far enough away from that era yet. This OJ TV show is a good start.

Fresh Off the Boat is a show set in the 90s and does a lot of 90s nostalgia.

The pool over at IC is a much tighter affair than ours. Looks like about 80% of the entrants have Carolina winning it all, with quite a few of them having either Oklahoma or Nova as the loser...
