2012 Division III NCAA Tournament

Appreciate the sentiment.

As much we seem to disagree with you on alot of issues.  I think d3hoops.com has done alot for d3basketball.  Give me a few years I will have some money to throw around.  I'd like to donate to d3hoops. I have been fighting a few people that say they support their alma mater's but won't travel or won't go to conference tournament games.  Even if it is at their alma mater's gym.  I find it disappointing. 
Keep up the good work.  Maybe one day I will make it to the d3sports Hall of Fame.

I guess you really don't want my money then.  I don't appreciate being nice to be shot down.  That was the only post I made within the last hour.  Pat, you told me to watch how I word things. I don't know how I can be anymore sincere than that.

[Just Bill]

I'm not sure what you are reading into his post, but I didn't sense any sarcasm in Pat's response.  He said he appreciated your sentiment.  I can't see why you think you were "shot down."  It appeared sincere to me.

[diehardfan]

I concur... I know he's sarcastic fairly often, but I think Pat was being sincere here!

It was DCHopeNut, where Pat said

Appreciate the sentiment.

I am wondering why my karma was hit after that.  I mean yeah I deserve it if I said something stupid.  But that was the last post I had.  I am not even saying Pat did anything. I never even said that.  I mean if I offer to donate some money why is that frowned upon.

I have no idea how karma works, but I do know that there are some people who have it out for other people and your karma being dinged probably had nothing to do with your most recent post. Heck, what DIII fan wouldn't want Pat to be able to devote his full time attention to the sites??? My karma went down even when I hadn't posted for 2 months! I wouldn't worry about it. But if it makes you feel better, K+ from me.

Pride sport, quite possibly someone read one of your other 611 posts and knocked you on what you wrote on another board.

The worst I need right now is a stalker.  a) I am too young b) I don't know if i could handle it 

I will say this I expect to finish in the top 20 on this annual pick'em contest.  Although I am not as aware as I may be on the d1 side I am using a strategy that has helped me the last 3 years win in the d1 office pools.  (I once had a strategy where I broke down each seed and overall records in each bracket/region.  It just became an overwhelming spreadsheet.  Just didn't have the time to keep it updated.) FYI if you do a d1 bracket #8 seeds have won about 61% of the 8-9 game.  Even though they are "virtually equal."

Huh?  Who frowned upon what?  I feel like I'm in a bizzaro universe.  I still don't see anyone who knocked you for anythig, much less donating money.

Just Bill-
I don't really want to waste 2007 tournament space, but I posted that once I make lots of money, I will donate some to d3hoops.com. (My karma was -9) I came back to see if there was a response (karma -10) I hadn't said anything.  As Mr. Ralph Turner explained it was probably another post.  Or Diehardfan suggested unoffically that I had a "karma stalker."  (Ralph I happen to agree with diehardfan with that matter.)

[David Collinge]

Everyone's karma seems to go up or down in mysterious ways.  There seem to be some people who get a cheap thrill out of smiting posters for no discernable reason.  I think it's best not to sweat it, although sometimes that can't be helped.

If you are truly worried about your karma, you should A.) find a new hobby B.) work on your self esteem C.) Log on as a different user, and give yourself karma points every 24 hours or whatever it allows you. 

[Just Bill]

I get it now.  What confused me is when you included Pat's appreciative comment in your complaint.  You made no reference to karma so I could only assume that you had taken exception to Pat's comment.

Move along everyone...nothing to see here.

D.)  Or start posting on the MIAC football board.  They are into Karma incest over there (except Touchdown Tommy).

Well, I was at work.

Maybe somebody hates the site. Maybe it's another post elsewhere on the board that someone is reading for the first time. It's not always the last post you made.

I don't really care about it obviously.  I am at -9.  I am going to say what I am going to say no matter what.  I am very opinionated. 

Old School-
I thought about being a stand-up comic.  I haven't put all my material together yet.  If I have to stop posting on here....well put it this way this hobby is a little easier.

Ok First Round Upsets? Who is it gonna be?
