So you are going through your brackets, trying to win the $4000 first place in your pool.

You get to NT v Memphis.

Bad fan if you pick Memphis?

(I would love to lose the chance at the pool because I missed this pick!)

I picked NT in my free entry pool, beating Nevada in the second round before falling in the third.

Contrarians RULE.

Ditto, and I would love to be wrong about the third (and fourth, fifth, and sixth!).

As to whether somebody who doesn't pick North Texas to win is a bad fan, I don't know about that. I just think I'd feel considerably dumber as a North Texas fan to pick them to lose when they pull out an upset than to pick them to win when they lose "like they're supposed to."

I would say that if you really wanted to win the money, then you would make the best pick. It doesn't make you any less of a fan or a bad fan. If you seriously think, that we have a very good shot to win tomorrow, you are smoking something.

That's why I did my best on the three other zones and have NT playing OS in the elite eight. I figured you have to be REALISTIC so I picked Ohoi State to go on to the final four, with Fla. eventually win it all.

Oh yea, and this is some good sh*t !!!

      I seem to recall…

      I respect y'all sentiments about the unfairness of the system, but clearly none of you are really aware of the money involved. SMU has some crazy billionaires. But those couple big spenders are necessary because they have few alumni. With proper organization and motivation, UNT COULD definitely be in the #25-#50 spend range no question. Totally doable. Not top 10.... but guess what: those teams already had a huge payroll. NIL just makes it above the table and more democratic. UNT's athletic department and university administration is not totally bought in. I wouldn't give them NIL money either. They aren't in it to win. But if they change their mind, you'll find more NIL available. The donors at SMU are spending because the school is now in it to win. If we had the university governance we did in 2005, they wouldn't be spending, I assure you.

      I am hearing through some sources that the team was not really together. I will leave it at that.
