Default NCAA Pool wager w/ Kohl - help needed
Okay, I need a little help from y'all:

Kohl and I have been exchanging PMs with regards to the spouse challenge I threw out in this thread (See posts 31 & 34)

Yeah, I'm kinda serious - I think it'd be fun.

I like what you're thinking; I've got to think of the equivalent for you now. Hmmm.... (You may have to help me on this.)

The best part is this'll add a whole new dimension to the pool - I can definitely see my wife getting a lot more hyper, since there's something on the line. (And if she biffs, I can tease her about it!)

Sound good?
-UA
Throw it to the mob. I'm sure they could torture me for a month with a questionable avatar. Post these PMs and see what they can find.
So I need a good avatar for Kohl to be stuck with for the month of April. Any suggestions?

How about this one.

He wouldn't dare show his face around here with that as an avatar.

Good memory. My wife actually picked that one for me. She said my coal miner made me seem old.

I've actually liked all of your last three. But the coal miner is probably my favorite. I thought that was a picture of you.

Anyway, here is a good one.

Looks like I need to get used to seeing this for the month of April:



(Mrs. UA had Texas over Wisconsin in the finals.)

Nice job, Mrs Kohl - well done!

Yes, it is still possible for Mrs. UA to win. However, are you willing to alter the bet?

I notice the you and Mrs. Kohl are tied currently and have the same maximum score potential.

How do feel about going mano-a-womano versus Mrs. Kohl? Unless you fear losing to a girl?

Mrs. UA takes the lead over Mrs. Kohl. Georgetown and Kansas are still on the board for Mrs. UA. Mrs. Kohl has more options but you can't count the chickens before they hatch.

I can't do that - no potential upside, and too much downside. I'll stand by Mrs. UA.

... and this completely shocked me last night when I checked! I really thought she was out of it. Mrs. UA was pretty glad about that (the pools haven't treated her very well this year...). Now she knows exactly who she's cheering for!

Okay, it's a few hours early, but I might as well start paying off this bet....

Congrats, Mrs. Kohl - way to show up Mrs. UA!
