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 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.

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.

I can't believe Wisconsin is losing. If they go down I am done.

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.

Yeah they sucked. It's a wonder they actually made it to the UNLV game, really. |
