It's about damn time we had a tournament of our own why didn't I think of it earlier.

Oh well.

Good idea, but I have some qualms with some of the teams you picked. Like..... leaving the Dallas Stars off the NHL part... who's going to vote for the Islanders? ;)


And leaving Texas off the college teams. Their collegiate record is much more impressive than that of Alabama, Army, or Navy.


.... and I'm not just being a homer here, I'm not a Longhorn fan. Besides these, looks like a good tourney!

I certainly don't want this forum to be overrun by tourneys but as long as we keep it to one I don't see a problem.

So, have a go at it Benny...

Ricochet-
I went mostly with teams that have had historically good records as well as ones that are doing well today. I put the Islanders in over the Stars because they had a string of 4 Stanley Cups in a row in the early 80s, whereas Dallas only had one in 1999.

As for Texas, I could probably replace Alabama with them, but for a long time the Crimson Tide were great under Bear Bryant, oh what the heck I'll put the Longhorns in over them. But I'm not taking Army and Navy out, for a long time, they were the main shows in college football, and there's still always a huge draw for their game every year.

Also, so that this tournament goes quicker, I am making the maximum length of a game one day, or once I decide there are enough votes. Then a winner will be declared.

and may I ask......... how in the world did the Cavs beat the Seminoles? Have the Cavs ever won a championship? I mean c'mon, this is the FSU Noles. They've won the ACC title 11 of the past 12 years, had the most wins in the 90's, and has the winningest college football coach of all time. Not to mention a few national championships here and there. Bah!

Gotta say the Denver Broncos here...John Elway is one of the best QB's ever to grace the game with his presence. Looks like Plummer might be the start of something huge down the line for them.

That's pretty funny! Was that a joke? :D


I loathe loathe loathe the Denver Broncos, being a Raiders fan.

And I'm usually rooting for Hoosiers when March Madness rolls around, since my Seminoles never get that far.

Well ya know, some weeks it wouldn't have been a joke Shaw, others it is...I think he honestly could be something great...but I also thought Ron Dayne was going to be one of the best RB's when he first came in, boy was I wrong!

And Plummer is way too hot and cold to be the start of anything special.

I will not let recent era folks such as "Cum Pocket Face" Kordell Stewart, "The Turkey" Tommy Maddox, and "Fat ass" Jerome Bettis hold me out on them.

What they did in the 1970's with Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swan, Franco Harris (The Italian Army!), and that unstoppable Steel Curtain defense was simply Spectacular.

For that respectable era alone, I vote the Steelers.
