1) This thing has to be totally rigged. Halfway between my house and Dave's is Louisville, KY. Home of Betsy Radish. Betsy if you want to buy us lunch why don't you just say so.

That said, I am in on your pool. I'll sign up now. If I win does that mean I get to have lunch with myself? We'll thats awesome!

2) If Dave & Denny, co-creators of Humzoo took a trip to Louisville, you better believe I'd buy them lunch.

(I've heard there's a pretty sweet skate park here)

3) I'm in, Betsy. As if Humzoo hasn't slowed my work progress, I'll get to those brackets quickly. These people had to know when they hired me that days like this were a given.

By the way, have I asked you yet about your New Kids picture? I keep meaning to. I saw them in concert 7 times. I was a child obsessed...

4) What a great thing you have created. I hope included in the prize pack will be a life size cut out of Dave and Denny....kinda like the picture of Jared you see when you go to subway....but instead of them holding large pants....they can just hold up something that represents awesome.

5) Carrie - My whole neighborhood was obsessed with NKOTB. My neighbor went to see them probably a dozen times. I used them as my avatar for a few reasons. One, NKOTB Rulz. and Two, I am trying to hype up their upcoming reunion tour!

Ben - I think I can work on that... Would you like Bearded Denny? Or sans-beard?

6) Okay, so Carrie might not believe me, but I used to follow college basketball quite closely. One of my best friends was *seriously* into basketball in college. After college he was asst. coach at UCSD for a while. But, I've never done a brackets things. But there's no time like the present to try. So I'm in!!

9) Betsy,
So if the reunion tour makes its way to the midwest, we should plan a roadtrip, k? Maybe we can get Humzoo as our corporate sponsor...

10) Carrie, OMG totally! I am SO in!!!
I think I would pretty much pay anything to see that concert.

11) OMG! ROFL! LOL! IYD! TISNF! We're in. What are we doing again? Who am I? What is this for again?

We'll sponsor anyone, anywhere, anytime. No event or dollar amount is too much for Humzoo.

Dave, how much do you and Courtney have in your checking account? Email me. Thanks.

13) IYD? TISNF? Does someone own a 13 year old female to translate Denny's message?

14) OMFG! I'm ROFLMAO PIMP (literally, I'm pregnant ya know... I pee when anything happens)!

Denny, so we're thinking a picture of Betsy's Avatar on the front and the Humzoo logo on the back for our New Kids Reunion tour t-shirts. Do you think that would sell?

I'm all signed up for the brackets. I went with team colors this year...

15) iyd--in your dreams??

tisnf--that is so not fair??

I'm a 36 year old in a 13 year old's body.

16) I like that t-shirt idea. Maybe it should say "Humzoo Hearts NKOTB" on the back...
Betsy   Monday, March 17, 2008

17) Love that Betsy. Maybe someone can make that now so I can get a bumper sticker made. I think Dave and Denny would like that, right?

Jules, I had no idea what IYD and TISNF meant.. thanks. :)

20) Can someone 'splain somethin' to this newbie. What is the "tie breaker score" exactly?
girlcarew   Tuesday, March 18, 2008
betsyradish
21) girlcarew- Enter what you think the total score of the championship game will be. (Both teams scores added together)

That way, if there's a tie, the winner will be chosen by whose score is the closest :)

25) I just joined. Thanks for setting this up Betsy. I am so excited about lunch with Denny if I win!

26) Okay, I think I just joined. Can I say that I probably understand this the least out of everyone. Basically, I made my choices by saying the names to myself in my head and choosing which one sounded the best. Very scientific. If it had come with examples of their "outfits" (or uniforms as Dave insists I call them), I could have made my decisions based on who has the cutest outfits.
Courtney Heinzel   Thursday, March 20, 2008

27) Courtney, that is a great way to choose. I think Marquette has really great outfits this year. Very "Springy."

28) I'm in! Ya'll better look out. I'm always last with my picks. They can get pretty whacky!

29) This ESPN writer had his wife write down the reasons for her NCAA picks, this is hilarious:

She's so insightful!

30) Betsy,
Marquette's from here (Milwaukee), so yeah, I totally agree. Spring is the new black!

One year, I had a coworker who picked Arizona because she had just visited there and thought it "was pretty". She knew nothing about basketball. They won and she won...

31) Courtney, when I first started paying attention in the early 90s, I would watch the games with my totally knowledgeable friend and basically choose the same way. It was whoever gave me the best feeling when I thought about them.
