I don't accept sacrifices and I don't make them. ... If ever the pleasure of one has to be bought by the pain of the other, there better be no trade at all. A trade by which one gains and the other loses is a fraud.
 

I sent out email's to everyone that played last year so they should be in your in boxes.

The answer to your question is 1) network 2) get involved 3) beef up your resume 4) repeat -happypantsmcgee WSO is not your personal search function.
 

Everyone but me...I see how it is!

Just kidding, I think I participated last year but I play fantasy sports for money all year round so it's hard to keep track. If you have room for one more let me know.

Randy_ChismUK, MSU, FSU, KU in the FF, UK over KU in the final

Why do people have such a hard-on for KU every year? They always choke in the tournament.

Its actually a John Calipari problem... even though UK has the problem Calipari makes it worse.

I realize you're talking about Kansas still wanted to make my point.

Not much because it's such trash nowadays. All uncoached freshmen.

I liked the 80s and 90s tourneys so much better where you saw guys for 4 years and rivalries actually existed. The system is so fucked up now and the NBA quality has also suffered as a result.

Need to bring back the Phi Slamma Jamma, Fab Five type of teams.

Oh you're sick of the NBA using it as the better version of the D league for free. Well I agree with you, shit is hard to watch now less and less of a team game.

I believe Webber, Rose, and Howard were sophmores for the 92-93 season but yeah it's not a great example. The UNC team they lost to in the finals that year had some older guys on it I'm thinking, maybe Montross and Lynch.

I am more thinking the Christian Laettner types, the good programs were able to keep guys in school and it was alot more fun to watch.

 

Might have been a different WSO league, I know I was a part of something hosted by one of the WSO guys. Either way, if you still have spots let me know.
