2021 King of the Hardwood Contest - Discussion/Updates

[Runcible Owl]

Over thirty intrepid souls dared to share their picks in this year's King of the Hardwood Contest. 

We're here for fun, lively discussion, contest updates, and *cough* mutual support.

[Runcible Owl]

If you didn't enter the contest, come on in. Hope you join us for the next go-round.

You may be in the right place too if you're looking to:

a) Provoke old enemies (Randy Parker).

b) Make new enemies (see above).

c) Form new alliances (e.g. Team Can'tcoach vs. the Parker/mcpapa cabal).

d) Rationalize poor contest selections.

e) As a non-contestant, let these folks know what you think of their picks.

f) Enjoy some tasty schadenfreude.

You may be in the wrong place if you take yourself too seriously.

And scene ...

I picked Oldham Co over GRC and I kind of figured that might be a mistake when I did it.

There were fellow passengers on the Madison Central to Oldham Co. line. RIP

[Can'tcoach]

Muhlenberg was my upset pick for the tourney. I'm already upset that i chose them.

[LethalPG]

The fighting Josh Cook's and GRC pulled through.  Also, have a lot of love for Aden Sloan's (Their PG) whole family.

At least right now there is no comparison between them and Highlands.

Madison Central sunk any hope I might have had, but I'm going to keep on watching.

I don’t know Aden or the family.  But he’s what the doctor ordered for Clark this year.

Good deal. As long as you can take a bit of  friendly ribbing, you will fit right in here.

Maybe so.  But some are a lot more fun to ridicule than others.

You're upset that your upset pick was upset. 😂
