A: 2020 Community Moderator Election

This seems an appropriate time to announce that I am not seeking election. I've been a member of Sports.SE since day 1, and had the privilege and responsibility of serving as a moderator since the first set were appointed back in early 2012. It was generally understood at the time that pro-tem ...

@skillpatrol I imagine so, yes

Michael Myers

I am not standing in the election. I'll be posting my farewell shortly.

@Catija Sounds like you've grasped the general concept of sports betting

Michael Myers

@random Apparently bracket names have to be globally unique this year, so no more Curly Brackets for me. I'm PerpetualCommotion now.

Speaking of, it's another year and here we April again into NCAA March Madness. Sign-ups for the Bracketing are open again: password: waffles

Unfortunately I haven't been able to be in this room much recently

Hm, interesting bot

@gdrt Seems like a good idea. I'll look closer when I'm not on mobile.

Pickings are open in the Waffle Collusion NCAA March Madness. They also close in a few days so even if you're unsure, at least make some picks in your bracket

Michael Myers

Jan 15, 2018 20:34

JAX and MIN for me also

Michael Myers

Jan 14, 2018 06:36

0-2 so far. Great start to the divisional round for me

Michael Myers

Jan 12, 2018 22:13

I could see Tennessee covering and Jacksonville maybe outright winning

Michael Myers

Jan 12, 2018 22:12

I just can't bring myself to pick against Minnesota

Michael Myers

Jan 10, 2018 16:21

@skullpatrol I'll take ATL (-2.5), TEN (+13.5), JAX (+6.5), MIN (-4.5).

I.e. trying to use part of the title as a tag

Michael Myers

Dec 19, 2017 22:28

I only object if it's added in a completely unnatural way, like "[badminton] What are the roles of the various officials?"

Michael Myers

Sep 18, 2017 20:06

Most saliently, tons of people root for colleges that they never went to

Michael Myers

Sep 18, 2017 20:05

@PhilipKendall There is a lot more to it than that. I tried to hit the highlights in my answer, but a full study on the subject could fill books.

@Sinister No, why do you ask?

Michael Myers

Jul 18, 2017 17:27

True

Michael Myers

@MartinSleziak I'm not sure how many people will see a tag wiki on meta, but it can't hurt

Michael Myers

Jul 15, 2017 23:18

@Feeds Nope, we're still here

Michael Myers

Apr 11, 2017 02:12

@Feeds Perhaps we should publicize the NCAA bracket challenge outside this room next year

Michael Myers

Apr 4, 2017 18:50

At least I didn't lose to a dog this year. Which has happened before.

Michael Myers

Apr 4, 2017 18:49

That is definitely the proper response

Michael Myers

Apr 4, 2017 18:49

@enderland Take a bow!

Final standings:

Michael Myers

Apr 3, 2017 20:56

I'm sticking with my pre-tournament pick of Gonzaga straight up

Michael Myers

Apr 2, 2017 04:07

Congratulations to enderland, who clinched the 2017 Stack Exchange Bracket Challenge title by correctly predicting both teams in the national championship game!

@random It's an ancient Irish word meaning "college you never think about except in March or April"

Michael Myers

Apr 1, 2017 22:21

Here we go

Michael Myers

Mar 27, 2017 23:08

@skillpatrol I missed a scenario. If North Carolina and Gonzaga both win, enderland wins thanks to being the only one who picked UNC to reach the title game.

Michael Myers

Mar 27, 2017 06:10

Perhaps I'm wrong

Michael Myers

Mar 27, 2017 06:10

@skillpatrol I thought that only counted if we got the teams right

Michael Myers

Mar 27, 2017 06:00

If Gonzaga loses to South Carolina, Kevin wins the bracket challenge. If Gonzaga beats South Carolina, Ed and I will tie for the win regardless of how the championship game goes.

Michael Myers

Mar 26, 2017 02:54

Whoa. Oregon beats Kansas by 14. I definitely did not see that coming

Michael Myers

Mar 26, 2017 00:29

@skillpatrol Zags cover in the first game

Michael Myers

Mar 25, 2017 17:25

In order of confidence, I have 1) Kansas 2) Florida 3) Gonzaga 4) Kentucky

Michael Myers

Mar 25, 2017 16:25

The Elite 8 is Kansas-Oregon, Gonzaga-Xavier, North Carolina-Kentucky, and Florida-South Carolina. Who ya got?

Michael Myers

Mar 20, 2017 22:55

@Catija Your worst possible finish is next to last since HDE didn't fill out his bracket. So the real lesson is that trying and failing is very slightly better than not trying.

Michael Myers

Mar 18, 2017 21:56

And the first #1 seed goes down. Wisconsin knocks off defending champion Villanova in the second round
