Anyone throwing a March Madness pool together? We could do one through Yahoo or ESPN or something.

I set up a private group on ESPN.
League name and password are both : NSBL (all caps)
I allowed 2 entries per player and they lock once the tourney starts.
Let me know if there are any issues getting in.

I'm in twice! For the record, I suck at this. Unless I win; then I'm a genius.

The EagleGod has placed both of his brackets! One of them I made using a random number generator; I think there's never been a 1 vs 16 upset, but the random numbers predicted 3 of them, so I'm going with it. The other bracket I put 5 minutes of thought into, but since I don't know more than 20 NCAA basketball players, it's mostly a crapshoot.
That said, I looking forward to hearing how smart I am when my brackets are the top 2 in our pool.

Spent about 5 minutes doing one last night in bed. That's twice as long as I usually take while laying in bed.

After day 1, I'm currently tied for first and tied for last.

Both brackets tied for 3rd, 10 points off the lead. Not too shabby.

That Wichita State/Marsahll game was exciting, but it doesn't help my two brackets. In my last place bracket, I had Wichita State going to the Final Four... oops. Not that far in my first place bracket, but it still stings a bit.

Not that far in my first place bracket, but it still stings a bit. I totally agree and I go through this every year. I still root for the underdogs even if it breaks my pool. That Elmore kid was unconscious. How about the pull-up 3 by the hash mark?? |

At lease everyone survived the first day. I am in a big bracket through work and a bunch of people had Arizona.

Unless it's my team (Michigan) or I have money on the line (I don't), I always root for the underdog. And yes, that kid was sick. Him and the balding kid on Wichita had a nice shoot-out going for a little bit. |

I have won twice I think. A few years ago when the kid from Nova hit the incredible three at the buzzer and when the Terps won. There was no skill involved in either. I am doing well here but that won't last the weekend. |

Two rules in life: 1) Never owe money to your ex-girlfriend who used to be a stripper 2) never play one-on-one for money against a balding man |

Haven't checked my bracket, but assuming that it's still perfect.

4 of the 14 entries lost their champion there. I knew eventually it would happen (although I always assumed Duke would be the first 1-seed to fall to a 16, just because I'm a Duke fan), but I always expected a buzzer beater or a missed buzzer beater to be the deciding shot. Not a 20-point ass-whoopin'.

I always knew there were Duke fans out there... I just don't see many that actually admit it.
Go UNC!!!
