I love the message board bet!! We need more of them. Bring 'em on when I open my big mouth!! It offers something fun and measurable, rather than the never-ending disagreements with a moving bulls eye. It also prevents us from slithering into the corner of agreement when early HUGE, bold statements were so totally wrong (Yes, I'm looking at all the boneheads throughout the Internet who spent most of the year preaching NU had ABSOLUTELY no chance at an NIT, but suddenly see the light.)
It also helps when somebody takes their lumps as reasonably and in such good spirit as NJ ... um, um, I mean, Fitzphile did. Nice job, boys.
