If I set up a free March Madness Group would anyone be interested in doing a bracket there? Just for bragging rights. Let me know and I will try to have one set up by tomorrow night if there is enough interest.
Also, any recommended sites?

My friends do one and I just use a rand # generator since I don't know anything about college bball. If you want I can do that for this as well.
Edit: We always have used ESPN as well

I'll do one.
I use ESPN as well.
CBS is pretty good actually. I'm in a private pool there as well. The mobile app might be better if that matters.

Okay, the Group at ESPN has been created. It's a private group so you'll have to search for it:
Group Name: National SimBL (sorry... NSBL was taken)
Password: CubsnotKrugs
Group Motto: "More homoerotic than a night with Pirate fans!"

It's not letting me search.
I think I'm the only person on Earth that hates ESPN.com.

Thought I'd upload my bracket for everyone to look/laugh at. I used to be a pretty big college hoops fan, but I just don't have the time anymore. I spent about 10 minutes doing this before going to bed last night.

Shit... I just realized I picked my alma mater to upset Baylor in the first round. That was pretty stupid. I tried to pick a couple early round upsets, but then start going chalk before just taking wild guesses come Elite Eight time. Sounds like about the way it usually goes every year.

I don't follow NCAA ball at all and I didn't fill out a bracket. That said, I'm picking Arizona to win the whole thing.

I just guessed and the first day has been pretty rough. I hit on Middle Tennessee while missing on UNC Wilmington and ETSU. Vandy not being able to comeback against Northwestern was probably the worst thing that could have happened, Thanks Obama.

I love college basketball. March Madness is one of the best sporting events of the year. Its hard to keep up on from year to year, but I try to follow most of the pac-12 teams....hence my bracket which has 3 pac-12 teams in the final four...no bias there...

One of these days I'm gonna learn to not try so hard to do things the "Sean way." I've never won a bracket challenge, and the results from today show why. Hopefully, tomorrow goes better and I can salvage some points in the subsequent rounds.

One year, there will be a 16-1 upset. And I am calling my shot now... that #1 seed will be the team that I picked to win it all in a bracket challenge that I actually pay to be in (which I never do).

A Final Four featuring four #1 seeds? Geez Joe. Way to go out on a limb there! JIm A 16 seed beating a 1 seed has a similar chance as all 1 seeds in the final four Except all four #1 seeds have actually made the Final Four before (2008). No 16 has ever beaten a 1. You don't win brackets by picking a ton of upsets. It's a numbers game and odds state that higher seeds have a better shot of reaching the Final Four. The better teams are ranked higher, thus the higher seeds have a higher percentage chance of going further. Nothing ruins a bracket faster than having a couple of your Final Four teams eliminated on the first weekend. So picking a bunch of upsets reduces your chances of winning. |

That's how bitches pick brackets, Joe.
Real men pick tons of upsets for the glory of it all. For the glory.

My bracket was bad and I feel bad. My Brewers roster is primo. I feel pretty good about that. Ready to stir up some injustice in 2017. |

Just checked my bracket. It appears as though random numbers are not very good at this

I'm in 5th place at 48.6%. It's clear we're all great at this game.
