Alligator Army Tournament Pick'em prize and update

by mlmintampa on Mar 25, 2011 6:39 AM EDT in Florida Basketball

I always have enjoyed when Alligator Army readers question my Gator-ness because I have the audacity to criticize Urban Meyer. But when it comes down to it, I'm really a homer.

Take the example of my tremendous rally into 3rd place of the Alligator Army Tournament Pick'em. Once mired in 19th place, Alex Tyus carried me into 3rd overall and 3rd for points possible, as I have UF in the Final Four. Class of '85, who picked Kentucky (!) leads with 56 points. thehighiq, who really is a homer and picked UF to win it all, is 2nd with 54 points. I have 53. I hope you will join me in rooting against Class of '85, because anyone who picks Kentucky or Ohio State deserves to lose.

Of course, I'm playing for pride, but the rest of you are playing for a lovely prize. This year, it is a Gators ice bucket and coozies, perfect for your Orange & Blue tailgate or throwing water on your mistress. Good luck to everyone.

I picked Ohio State too

I think the ice bucket and koozies are cool, but Gator Championships are much cooler.

Good luck to the Swim Team today – currently sitting in 7th, but looking to move up. Not sure anyone can catch Cal, but a top 3 finish isn’t out of the question.

Yeah it is and yes they are.

I’ll take top 3.

Rooting against Class of 85 too!

If we get an all SEC final trust me, I will be rooting for the Gators in the final (bracket be damned!!!). Thanks for organizing the group.
