Why Cuse will lose to Vermont, Clarkmeister style

[MEbenhoe]

Vermont beat Holy Cross
Holy Cross beat Notre Dame
Notre Dame beat Boston College
Boston College beat Syracuse

That works right?

Also pointed out to me by my friend:

Oakland beat Oral Roberts
Oral Roberts beat Georgetown
Georgetown beat Clemson
Clemson beat Maryland
Maryland beat Duke
Duke beat GT
GT beat UNC

thus we will have our first 1 vs 16 upset ever

[Dead]

Syracuse beat Villanova
Villanova beat Kansas
Kansas beat Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech beat Wake Forest
Wake Forest beat Duke

So Duke will lose to Syracuse.

That works right? /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Duke beat UNC
UNC beat UConn
UConn beat Cuse

My list is shorter, this is fun /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Syracuse beat Miss State
Miss State beat Florida
Florida beat Kentucky

Therefore Syracuse will beat Kentucky?

[Dead]

Ohio State beat Illinois
Ohio State lost to Creighton and Michigan State.

Once one of those teams loses, Syracuse can claim that they could beat Illinois. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

how? the whole deal is a line of succession. cmon if you're gonna play the game at least get it right.

[Dead]

You ripped apart my other ones with some BS argument about how that game will never happen.

It's irrelevant. The question assumes that they will play.

[MEbenhoe]

Had to do this one:

FD beat Rider
Rider beat Penn
Penn beat St. Joe's
St. Joe's beat Bucknell
Bucknell beat Pitt
Pitt beat Penn St
Penn St beat Northwestern
Northwestern beat Minnesota
Minnesota beat Ohio St
Ohio St beat Illinois

[Dead]

Six degrees should be the limit . /images/graemlins/grin.gif

This is a really stupid activity though. The only team in the country that looks decent afterward is the undefeated team, and there are none.

[Vince Young]

Clarkmeister will bet you any amount, up to 5k, that this does not happen.

[Dead]

What will Clarkmeister bet on SU losing in the first round to Vermont?

[/ QUOTE ]

oh cmon, its just for fun. IIRC Clarkmeister used this technique earlier in the year when Illinois was undefeated to show how illinois was better than any team you could bring up, and then he was untouchable because illinois was the only undefeated team.

[Vince Young]

Any amount up to 5k.

Clark is willing to bet up to 5k that Syracuse will lose in the first round to Vermont?
I don't think even MEbenhoe would make that bet.

Tell me what bet amount Clark wants.

Whats that line supposed to mean?

/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[Dead]

It means that you hate Syracuse so much, that you're actually not picking them to advance over Michigan State. Lots of analysts have them as their sleeper pick to come out of Austin,and you're predicting a second round defeat for them. /images/graemlins/tongue.gif

[/ QUOTE ]

Its not because I hate Syracuse. They're a lot more likeable than many teams. I honestly just didn't have them going to the sweet 16.

[Dead]

Tell me how you think Michigan State can beat them. Their outside shooting is generally crappy.

[Vince Young]

Michigan State beat Iowa.
Iowa beat Texas.
Texas beat Oklahoma State.
Oklahoma State beat Syracuse.

[Dead]

Syracuse beat Villanova
Villanova beat Kansas
Kansas beat Georgia Tech
Georgia Tech beat Wake Forest
Wake Forest beat George Washington
George Washington beat Michigan State

Syracuse is the best team in the country bar none. They should have been a one-seed. All the teams Syracuse lost to sucked out on them on the river. Syracuse could beat Illinois by 70 if they were motivated enough.

It looks to me like Clark will put upto 5k on cuse winning.

I love this logic. I'll give someone $1 on Stars if they can figure out a way that WSU would beat either Illinois or NC.

I'm betting anyone, any amount that IL goes further in the tournament than Syracuse. Unfortunately, 10 bucks is apparently more money than Dead has seen this year so I'm unlikely to make a score on it. He's already backed down from a bet once after asking if I wanted to bet on whether or not Warrick would have a longer NBA career than Deron Williams.

[/ QUOTE ]

I'm a college student. Do you really think I want to waste my money on a bet like that?

And I didn't back down. I offered to bet a beer. I never said that I would bet money. You refused the offer. So don't tell me that I backed down when it's you who did so.

Beer's free here, betting air isn't a bet. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

I told Clark that when I am in Vegas I will buy him one. I do plan on making it out there eventually.

Or I could just Stars transfer his butt $1.45 I guess, and he can buy one.

Whatever you wanna do Clark.
