Good Fan Or Bad Fan

[untcampbell]

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."

Who I want to win and who I think would win are two very different things.

Cheer with you heart, but Bet with you head!

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.

Brevity, Travis...well said.

I really think our 15 seed is completely undeserved if that counts for anything.

Really, on what grounds?

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 !!!

Well we won the Sun Belt. Not the MEAC or the Atlantic Sun or Patriot.

untcambell - anyone who actually went to a basketball game this season should be called a good fan. The question is are you still putting out the UNT yard sign?
