Maybe history will be made. Presently there has never been a year where all four #1 seeds have made it to the Final Four.

well, there isn't many #2's to stop them, Duke and Georgetown out.... I am waiting to see Memphis go down in smoke, I picked them to win it all just because everyone else in the country picked North Carolina.

was in 17th after early rounds. Now 2nd! this is on par with the '98 kentucky comeback against duke in the tourney. Although no chance at first. Go Memphis!

I'm going to go ahead and pat myself on the back, winning this thing for the second year in a row. The overtime helped me out by generating a final score of 75-68, not too far off my prediction of 78-69. Sorry Philly Wonka, I get the tiebreaker.

Glad to see so many folks drop in to the basketball forum and enjoy March Madness. We had 31 sign up for the tournament challenge. Stick around and talk hoops all year.

See ya next year!

yes, but imagine if i wasn't a bonehead and forgot to pick a winner in one of the first round games. i didn't think i had a chance at this thing after the first round, but i rallied back.

Nice job Scott! Congrats

I was very pleased with my finish. I had three of the final four and the champ. Had some of my early round upsets came through I would’ve been golden.

Told ya those first round picks are overrated. \:\)

I was dead last at one point and in the cellar throughout most of the tourney and still finished 6th overall.

Don't worry B.A., if I remember right you played Fantasy Football too. Maybe we can get a league going this fall and you can whip me in that \:\)

dtro, nice work. I mean, c'mon, a Jayhawk can fly away from a Tiger, right? ;\)

Congrats philly wonka and da_chise31! I thought I had you. I remember thinking that the free throw percentage might come back to haunt me when I picked Memphis, but [PoorWordUsage] all they had to do was just make one at the end of regulation mad.gif . Oh well I did better than I expected.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.
    • mbeyer
      what do they look like this spring?
    • SkunkedAgain
      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      👍. What was the water temp in Black Bay? Thanks....
    • Brianf.
      No, that wasn't me.  I drive a 621 Ranger.

      So, that was you in the camo lund? I'm bummed, I have to head back to the cities tomorrow for a few days, then back up for at least a few weeks. Got the dock in and fired up to get out chasing some crappies till opener!

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
