CBCC 2013 Down to Miller and Wagenmaker

by: Sugar


After all the bracketology, talking heads, odds calculations and trash talking, CBCC has been reduced to two dawgs named John Miller and Dick Wagenmaker. And the Big Dance has been reduced to Louisville, Wichita State, Michigan and Syracuse. That leaves 8 scenarios and Miller, from Baton Rouge, Louisiana holds 7 of them, powered by his confidence levels of 64, 44, 55 and 57 on the final four contestants. For those who have put their calculators away, that leaves John with an 87.5% chance of taking home the championship. But wait, charter dirty-dawg Dick Wagenmaker of Brighton, Michigan holds the other 12.5% and...

Mid-Major Malfunction

by the Cold Hard Truth


Years ago I wrote an article about how to compete in the Dirty-Dawg CBCC. It made a lot of sense and actually worked pretty well. I was looking like a basketball expert back in those days.

Years later, how things have changed! My performance has been barely adequate, and nothing to brag about. In fact, recent years have been a real struggle. Sure, I’m busier than I used to be with family stuff – shuttling kids about. Maybe I can claim that I just don’t spend as much time watching basketball? (Not True) Maybe I can pretend that I have become so sophi...

John Miller is CBCC 2013 Top Dawg!!

by: Sugar


Heading into the Final Four Weekend in Atlanta, John Miller had done such an outstanding job of handicapping the 2013 March Madness field that he owned 7 of the 8 scenarios that could possibly play out, eventually resulting in the National Champion Monday night. Dick Wagenmaker owned the lone scenario that could beat him, one that featured a Lousiville/Michigan final with Michigan the National Champion. So, John was probably feeling pretty good heading into the weekend, but maybe not so great after Saturday when, indeed, Louisville and Michigan won, and probably even worse after the Wolverines built a 12 point lead over the Cardinals late in the first half. However, Louisville made a late run before the half and played well enough to beat Michigan and take home the NCAA National Championship. And that means, that after all of that dirty-dawg drama, John Miller from Baton Rouge, Louisiana is the dirty-dawg CBCC Champion for 2013! Congratulations, John. And, sorry Dick, looks like that yellowed 1989 Glen Rice poster will remain in the garage for the forseeable future.

Several other dawgs had notable performances besides John and Dick. Ron Hamatka from Sacramento, California was third with 7698 points, just 126 off the championship pace and only 21 behind the runner-up. Paul Todis was 4th and Jacob Ventimiglia was 5th. Barb Mayes carried the fairer-sex flag with a 6th place finish, while Todd Mogged, Brian Walawender, Jerry Douglas and Otto Binau (part of the Binau dirty-dawg dynasty) rounded out the Top Ten. Great job, dawgs! Where did our vaunted dirty-dawg college basketball expert, Pat Vesper, wind up? Forty-third, thank you very much. "I'm happy with that" said Pat.

And after all of the fuss and statistics and experts and RPIs and all that jazz, how many dirty-dawgers picked Louisville to win it all? A whopping 76 dawgs, otherwise know...
