Sure, I've got seeds out of a 2.25 lb tomato that was a 5.71 Dunn x Self that I would throw in it helps if you can't get any better offers.

Hey Chris, you're right, we both have Munchigan State in the final. You otta be Really Really confident that Munchigan State beat the crap out of a weak Duke team...………………………………………………………….by 1 (one Point). Wow wow wow....

I did like your last entry: "I forgot, I won in 2015 so I WONT to become a 2 time BP basketball champion !!! :-)"

You know I want those 5.59 Konieczny Domingo this year, don't be sending me any of your one pounder beefstakes…..

4/1/2019 6:38:37 PM

Wixom MI.

Lol... Now i know who yo are i will give you 10 seeds o the 5.95 if you win but only 5 if you loose win win either way. But mich.st is going to kick ass with virginia. Come on they couldn't even beat Duke for heaven sakes!!! But i give my word i will give you the best seed in the world !!!

4/1/2019 7:20:43 PM

Wixom MI.

Hmmmm..... Stawecki what do you have to offer if MICHIGAN STATE wins ??? I like orange pumpkins so what due you have to offer ????????

4/1/2019 7:44:01 PM

Butler,PA

You're very generous. If you beat me, I will send you giant cabbage seeds(too late to plant this season) and 22 1/2" giant sunflower head seeds and whatever else I have laying around...how about my wife. lol....

I did a little math...If Texas tech wins... you lose.
If Michogan State wins and Virgina wins... you lose.
You have Michigan State and so do I and when Virgina wins, it gets me an additional 160 points and that will put me 350 points ahead. Even if Michigan State beats Virginia in the final....You only get 320 points. Just a tad bit short.

4/1/2019 8:02:23 PM

Butler,PA

I have some orange for you, but you need to say your prayers tonight and for the next few days....

4/1/2019 8:04:27 PM

Butler,PA

Chris, you can check the math, but I'm an accountant by trade.

4/1/2019 8:07:13 PM

Wixom MI.

Yes i need state to win both games but that is a given, No problem. We both have virginia going to the finnals so we are equal on points with virginia but face it Virginia couldn't even beat DUKE !!! What chance do they have against MICHIGAN STATE !!!!!!!!!! LOL..... this is going to be fun stawecki !!!

4/1/2019 9:25:41 PM

Wixom MI.

True if texas tech wins im out but if both virginia and michigan st. Win you don't gain any ground on me because we both have mich st. And Virginia going to the finnals. So it would come down to the winner of the finnal game.so you have a little advantage that i might loose one day early, look out if state makes ot to the championship game !!!! It will be all over then !!! Lol.... :-)

4/1/2019 9:38:58 PM

Butler,PA

Chris, This is going to be fun, but it looks like you might be changing the offer(bet). Gotta clear this up....."Hmmmm….Stawecki what do you have to offer if MICHIGAN STATE wins??? I like orange pumpkins so what due you have to offer?????" That gives you two chances.

I'm thinking after you saw the math, it's got you worried and you're thinking differently than I am.

I hope we are talking about the final final final results and not talking about Michigan State beating Texas Tech and you win or Michigan State beating Virginia in the final and you win. Overall, if those two outcomes happen, I can still beat you, Overall.

I'm pretty competitive and I hate to lose. So can you confirm that the overall winner of the contest, wins?

I will still send you something, even when you do come in second place. Even though you came in first in 2015(Which the game winner was VERY VERY QUESTIONABLE because of the ref's calls) my best was a third and I got something for that place.

By-the-way, I was only kidding about my wife laying around. You can't have her, she's the best thing that has ever happened to me.

4/1/2019 10:10:06 PM

Butler,PA

Chris, re-do your math. Your maximum points are 1390 and mine are 1580 a difference of 190 points. Even if you look at the current point total, your current points are 750 and mine are 940, a difference of 190. Anyway you look at it: Michigan State wins you will be at 940 and I will be at 1130(Still 190 points). When Virginia beats Auburn, my point total goes to 1290 and you will be 350 points behind. Even if Virginia is not in the final and you get the 320 points for winning the National Championship, you total only goes to 1260....Still just a tad bit short.

You need Michigan to win both games and Virginia lose against Auburn. This is the ONLY way you can beat me. Sorry.


But don't worry, you're still a winner and second place ain't bad....I'll still sent you something.

4/1/2019 10:25:11 PM

Butler,PA

little correction...Even if Virginia is not in the final....
Should read--Even if Virginia is in the final....Remove the NOT. Sorry.

4/1/2019 10:32:05 PM

Butler,PA

Another correction Chris: Your current points are 750 and mine are 940. We both have Michigan State and when they win, you go to 910 and I go to 1100, still 190 points. When Virginia wins, I go to 1260 points and you're still at 910, that 350 points and if Michigan State beat Virginia, you only get 320 more points to bring your total to 1230, still a tad bit short.

You still need Michigan to win both games and Virginia lose against Auburn.


Keep an eye out for 0033jim 2, he has Michigan State going all the way. If they go all the way and Virginia loses against Auburn....you two will fight it out with the final score.

4/1/2019 10:47:29 PM

Wixom MI.

Dont forget i also get 160 points like you if virgina beats auburn so we both get 160 for that game you don't gain anything on that game and we both get 160 points on mich.st. if they beat texas tech. So i will still trail you by 190 points going into the championship game and that game is worth 320 points witch means i will overtake you. If MICHIGAN STATE WINNSSSSSS !!!!

4/1/2019 10:57:51 PM

Wixom MI.

O by the way your seeds are kind of week, i need to see a picture of your wife ? Lol....:-) just kidding !!!

4/1/2019 11:05:02 PM

Gone With The Win

Go state

4/1/2019 11:05:02 PM

Wixom MI.

Now i have a cheering squad !! Lol... :-)

4/1/2019 11:06:43 PM

Wixom MI.

Your only advantage is if mich.st looses to texas tech then im done ! Were as you can still win if both teams loose

4/1/2019 11:33:31 PM

Wixom MI.

Other words i need michigan st. To win both games no mater what virginia does to win !!!

4/1/2019 11:38:31 PM

Butler,PA

Okay Chris, you're right about the 160 points you get for Virginia. I'm in accounting, that's why I have an eraser on my pencil. I was wrong.

You still need a small miracle, you still need Michigan State to win against Texas Tech and win against whoever they are up against in the Championship game.

I'll check my orange seed inventory and pick a non-weak seed, but no pictures of the wife, my wife, she was my H.S. sweetheart. I was in 9th grade and she was in 7th grade. She was the popular cheerleader and I was the second string basketball and football player. We're both in our 60's now.

She's on my cheering squad!! Lol...;-)

I still win.

Stawecki did you have Wisconsin over duke in 2015 ? I remember it was me and one other person that had a chance to catch me that year in the championship game ?

4/2/2019 12:10:57 AM

Butler,PA

Chris, No, I didn't have Wisconsin over Duke and wasn't going to catch you. I just remember that there were a bunch of bad ref calls. Questionable fouls and a few out-of-bounds no calls that happened near the end of the game and I really think they had an influence in the final outcome. You won and you did good and I think you won some great seeds too.

4/2/2019 12:49:29 AM

Wixom MI.

Hey jim don't worry about finding seeds for me if i win I'm just in it for bragging rights !!! But i will need your address by next week because you will Finnish first or second no mater what happens.
