Title: My Aunt picks Murray State
Post by: The Lens on March 19, 2019, 01:40:58 PM
So my Aunt Jenn picked the Racers in our family pool.  So did my younger brother Larry and my Dad's neighbor Steve.

Should I start a new post about everyone who knows Murray State is going to win?  Or should I just compile the negativity here?

If it helps the bulletin board, make sure Aunt Jenn's picks are loud and proud for Wojo to see.

I think you need to start by disowning Aunt Jen, Brother Larry and Neoghbor Steve.

Are we sure they weren't emotional hedge bets?

I think you just summarized about 1/3 of my bracket.

If you hear of others picking MS, please start a new thread. It is much easier for some folks on here to follow.

Just for that I'm going to make you attend Thanksgiving.

Hate to pile on work, but even if you hear of anyone currently being a MS lean, could you throw us a new thread?


One more thing, actually two...#1 can you grade the lean on sliding scale and #2 can you provide more specifics on how you know the person doing the lean.

It would be a lot less work to compile a list of "experts" picking Marquette.

The Lens kindly volunteered to do the dirty work. It is fun watching all the new threads pop on this topic.

Why aren't your brother Larry and dad's neighbor Steve getting their own threads?
Way to sell them short.

Based up this thread, I fully expect MU to save the University money and skip Thursday's game. Aunt Jenn is our "anti-Sister Jean" :D

I  put pieces of paper with the Murray State Logo and the Marquette logo on them down where my dog does his business.

He pooped on the Murray State logo.

I am not sure whether that means he is picking them to win or lose.

This is a question for Topper.  He is the preeminent authority on collegiate animal defection.

OK, so we have an animal defection expert.  So if the dog runs away, we're covered.  Does anyone know where we can find an animal defecation expert?

Where did these people go to school? The Jethro Bodine School of Ciphering?

C'mon, anyone with an ounce of brains knows picking Murray State to beat us is like picking the Miami Marlins to be world series champions. Or the Kansas City Royals!

Of course, I expected Marquette to maul Miami of Ohio back in 1978!

A coworker asked me if I know anything about Murray State, thereby implying he isn't absolutely certain Marquette will win.  Does that count.

Pretty sure you're supposed to start a new thread to ask.

I would say the same, but my recent strategy is to create so many brackets that I don't know who to cheer for other than MU until the final four when I see if any have a shot to win.  :-[

Incidentally, every UW alum in my office picked MU to advance.

You want to see a group of fans who are scared to death of being a 5-seed?  Look west down I-94.

Bias from past experience. I am sure you and hubby have plenty of MU gear and he wouldn't poop on that!

I can second that from my office.
