Second Official March Madness Bet

For reasons that have yet to be determined...I made another bet regarding an obscure conference tournament. Matt was intrigued by the Horizon League bet I had going...and proposed a similar bet dealing with the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. He has a fascination with the MEAC and wanted a bet that included multiple schools near his hometown (suburban Baltimore). The bet between Matt and I is as follows:

The Stakes: 5 (US) dollars

The Goal: Choose the MEAC Champion

The Picks:
  • Me - Hampton, Bethune-Cookman, & North Carolina A&T
  • Matt - Morgan State, Coppin State, & MD-Eastern Shore
As I said in my Conference Tournament capsule for the MEAC...this league is a crap-shoot and it is nearly impossible to be confident in a winner. Because of this...we each chose 3 teams, hoping to have the winner among those teams. Matt gets the two schools near his hometown (Morgan St. and Coppin St.) and the worst team in the league...then I got my (random) pick of three. This bet is like drawing names from a hat...and that's exactly why it's going to be a lot of fun.

    I can't wait...this is going to be great, $5 bucks and 2 deep sea doubles will go great together.

    This is ALREADY great! It's only going to get greater. Don't get cocky my friend...I'm really liking my Hampton pick right about now.

    Was this a serpentine draft?

    Nice Hampton pick, one down 2 to go (although Bethune Cook did beat up on one of my pickes).

    Hampton SHOULD have won that game!!! They had it in their grasp...I knew that game would be close. It's a shame because that team OWNED Morgan State this year if they could have met in the finals.

    Well DH, as of right now I can't lose this bet. I maybe can't win it, but as of right now, all 3 of your picks are eliminated. I still have 2 of 3 going, so you can only hope for such powerhouses as Norfolk St and South Carolina State to pull it out for you. Cross my fingers cause $5 tastes great in between two deep fried fish filet patties.
