Hey, I set up a league to post your brackets in if you are a college hoops fan.....you can also see how you are doing against everyone on Yahoo (not just us). All you need is a Yahoo id.....it's really easy to do. The last day to post your bracket is Thursday the 15th. Hopefully we can get a couple of people to play.

Here's the link:
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men

Just click "Join a Group" then "Join Private."

The Group ID is 77914 and the password is sonic (all in lowercase).

Later.

experts piss me off, on average about 4 guys on tv had 2 or 3 No 1 seeds in their final four last night, they have no imagination, no heart, i may look back at my picks again later and see if any lower seeds can make it in, currently my lowest final four seed is a 5, i have a team in mind that is a 7 (one where the coach paints himself bright orange) but we'll see

I should be able to take part...

Go Creighton.

mentioned last year but:

the odds of predicting a perfect braket is over 9 QUINTILLION to 1
or in long form exactly 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 1

if everyone on the planet picked a different bracket, there is only a 1000 to 1 chance that one of them is right

What does this mean? (What is meant by bracket??)

During March Madness, many people enjoy predicting the outcome of the NCAA tournaments. Bracketology is the art of picking the correct teams that will be in the tournaments. The 65 (including the 2 teams who compete in the play-in game) participating teams are announced by the selection committee on Selection Sunday, although some teams are known to have made it already by winning their conference tournament (See: At-large bid, Automatic bid). The teams are seeded from 1 to 16 in 4 regional groupings around the country. The eventual winners of the four regions then meet at the Final Four in a predetermined location. The four seeds play out the tournament through single eliminaton until a National Champion is crowned.

I want to join, and I hate Yahoo.

afterthefact · 03.13.2007, 10:00 PM

UK is out, so I'm out. I don't follow any other teams, I don't have the patience to pay attention to everybody's games, rankings, and other shinanigans...

Пятхъдесят Шест · 03.13.2007, 10:01 PM

Ah, but UK is most certainly in.

afterthefact · 03.13.2007, 10:07 PM

DId they not lose? I was told they already lost. Like I said, I don't follow any of it, I just go by what I hear, and catch an occasional game or two...

Пятхъдесят Шест · 03.13.2007, 10:09 PM

They have not played yet. They lost in the SEC Tournament.

They play Villanova on Friday, I believe.

Do it up!! It's easy!!

All brackets must be posted by 11:59 Wednesday night.

Don't forget to submit your bracket for the million dollar grand prize (among others) as well!!!

My bracket could go up in flames real quick.....we'll see.

king_buzzo · 03.14.2007, 03:40 AM

i don't wanna join i dont like that stuff.

atari 2600 · 03.15.2007, 08:05 AM

is anyone picking more than one full bracket?

atari 2600 · 03.15.2007, 12:07 PM

very random notes:
I should've known Davidson would contend with Maryland, after all, the on-screen scoreboard has them as "13 DAVID."

Well, at least I didn't have the Terrapins going that far anyway...(unlike you cats haha)...well, it's still far from being over...

Remember last year when the scoreboard read
BRAD
PITT
during the Bradley and Pittsburgh match-up?

jennthebenn · 03.15.2007, 12:30 PM
