Experts' short list for Final Four - SMU

[ojaipony]

Here's what's weird: I think we'll have a tougher time getting INTO the tourney than making a deep run IN the tourney.

Let's get in first. If we get in, there will be a loud screaming and shouting coming from the general southwest Austin, TX, area.

This was placed last September. Not sure if the Mudiay to China news was out yet...

And there were only seven teams with better odds than us.

i took them at 25-1 last year after mudiay committed. oh well, at least i can still win something.

When I was there in October, different places had wildly different odds. Saw anywhere between 20 (I think that was the Palazzo) and 75 to 1 (Harrah's) -- but we were on the board, and not just in the field, everywhere. If we win the National Championship, and I don't die of heart attack immediately after that happens (assuming I survive the shock of making the Final Four), then my small investment will pay cover the increased per seat donation, and then some.

Mudiay to China news broke in July.

I heard 125-1 last weekend.

I heard 125-1 last weekend.

I would probably take those Odds if they are still offered. We are a long shot to win the tournament but we have to have better than less than 1% chance.

Someone posted that on another site. Definitely worth a couple tenners.
