I just want you to know that I was already picking Tennessee to be upset before seeing this, but now I'm putting a curse on them. May their children's children be born Kentucky fans.

6 Boise State

3 FAU

I'm probably should have just let those 3 pts go. Now I'm feeling sorry for your ass. :(
I deserve it for being too boisterous. I'm probably the reason my team looked like 💩. At least, that's what I will tell myself. Good win by Tennessee. I should have picked Oakland like I was originally going to do. Thems the breaks!

So far so good on copying all my picks (including the bonuses) other than the 1 pointer. 😉 Let’s leave these fools in the dust!

Haha! What are you on and how are you doing? What's the ailment? Hope it's nothing too serious!
Percocet 10. Its for my shoulder. If ya recall I had it replaced about a year and a half ago. Its been hurting me. Got an MRI, and lots of scar tissue. Surgeon said---"I can repair it, OR---we can try thearpy, some injections, and pain meds.

I don't want another surgery. So we'll see.

Doing pretty good brother. Baseball season starts for me Tuesday.

Oh yeah I remember. That scar tissue can be a pain in the ass for sure. Def would recommend therapy and cortisone shots as a first resort.

Try soaking in an epsom salt bath every now and then.
I have...Lot of ice thearpy as well. Stsrted losing range in the shoulder couple months ago---then startred getting severe cramping in my bicep====PAIN. My range of motion has become woof. Touching my right ear is almost impossible, w/o my bicep cramping. Gets really fatigued---so I knew something was up.

Scar tissue, and something to do with muscle growing back "to tight"----something like frozen shoulder.

Praying that this works. Another surgery would put me off for 6-8 weeks.
 
Congrats to @IUfanBorden on winning Week 20 with 23 points! He doubled-down on Wisconsin losing and earned 8 bonus points. @Kevin Bryan surges ahead, once again, and now has a 6-point lead. 3 posters are tied for second place. I've included the bonus points from this week in parenthesis.

Last week, everyone! And it's a double-points week! I had to cut two Sweet 16 games from the Pick'Em contest. I decided to use the spreads from the Vegas lines as the determining factor. UConn and Arizona have the biggest spreads, so I'll cut those respective games. The title could come down to the final Sweet 16 matchup of Tennessee/Creighton.
