 Hey all-  I created a March Madness bracket group on Yahoo. Group ID # is 117373, password is catass2victory. Click here , then click 'Sign Up'. Next, choose to join a private group, and then enter the Group ID # and the password. Create a team name, and then get on to your picks! Any and all are invited. To make it fun, I am pledging a $20 Amazon gift certificate to the winner (which will not be me!).  |

 I always try to use my head on these and fail miserably. So I'm going to go with my heart instead. Can't be worse. |

 My ex wife won 2 large bracket pools by choosing the place she'd rather live for each game.  I'd say that's as good a method as any.  |

 Ah, what the hell. . .
 I'm in
 
 I feel for the people who get the Southern Illinois/Holy Cross game. Double defensive basketball FTL.
 
 Keys I remember.

They have enough fun in their lives without winning tourney games. Plus, the sooner they are out, the sooner the casinos can take action  :-D |

 In, I dont watch basketball pre-tourny though so I dunno wtf I'm picking.  I'm rooting for the Oden show, I'd really take a Ohio State over Florida Championship if that could be arranged...   Fucking pissant gator fuckers.  I hate tha Joaquim Noah kid so goddamn much too... |

 Bwahaha! I have entered and made a mockery of your annoying tournament that plagues my TV every spring! I know so little about college hoops... I did things like pick Oral Roberts to win a round because naming a college after Oral Roberts is funny to me. |

 AND....we're off! Davidson is giving Maryland a game, BC and Texas Tech are trading the lead, and apparently Stanford forgot to set their alarms, since Louisville is eating their lunch.  |

 I must have been on some kind of meds when I made my picks.  Wow... baaaaaaaaaad.  I may finish dead last.  Allthough, there is one great thing about all of this.. DUKE LOST AND I CALLED IT.         Such a wonderful day.  |

 Today is starting off crazy, Wisconsin looks like they are going down (which means the Illini need to win, Purdue also kthx) and it appears ND is falling as well. |

 And of course I am sucking wind, including my one big dark horse (Winthrop) currently choking up a 20 point lead. |

 Goddammit
 I made two changes at the eleventh hour, because I wussed out.
 
 I had UTCC over wisconsin and VCU over Duke.
 
 Duke because I felt they had to win one game before they died. I was wrong.
 
 Wisconsin because I lost faith in Ronnie Arrow. He was the coach of my South Alabama back when they bet Bama in the tournament. I remember that day as a senior in high school. Class stopped while we watched it in Mr Portenga's AP History class. It was a beautiful moment. He's got a good team lot of shooters. They were independent until this year, and had a 2 to 1 away, home schedule, or something close to that. better than their 15, but came from a crap conference, because a crap conference is better than none at all.
 
 If they win, it would have been something to really crow about
 
 Dammit. such a puss.

 Yeah, me too. I have Wisconsin losing in the Regional Finals. If they lose, I'm likely cooked.  |

 Wisconsin is vastly overrated IMHO. There is a good chance they won't get out of the S16 (if they manage to get there!). I called Winthrop over ND which makes me happy; A) It was an upset, and B) I fucking loathe ND and it makes me happy when they lose.  |

 I have Wisconsin going deep, not so much because they are great, but that entire region is lousy if you ask me. I'm not a believer in Florida this year. |

 There were a number of good chokes yesterday. I've obviously not given Butler enough credit either, because they've fucked me twice. Fucking Marlyand. |

 Friggin Wisconsin is laying another egg. Serves me right for picking based on the draw rather than team quality.
 
 EDIT: Aaaaaaaaand, I'm done.
