I also went with the cubed-root of 27; I am hoping for the cubed-root of 125, but several teams would have to snap out of "it".

The game that doesn't affect us: Indiana State @ Missouri State


So I'm picking the value of pi rounded down to 0 significant digits.

I believe technically, any number to zero significant digits is undefined. π to zero decimal places would round to 3.

I knew I'd somehow screw that up. Ok, zero decimal places...

I'm the optimist that picked 6. I don't think Rhody or Chicago State will win, but boy, would a Rhody win do us wonders though!

Early Line has the Flyers by 5.5...   
Early Line has NMState by 13.5 with an 87% surety rating

Why does Steven Tyler come to mind???

Every time when I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got the dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody sin
You got to lose to know how to win....

...

DREAM ON
