We could set up a bracket on ESPN.com. They've got a free service.
Sounds like fun! Count me in if anyone's doing it.

What exactly is a bracket competition
Well, are you familar with the NCAA tournament? starts with 64 teams til there's only 1 left.
Basically you fill out a bracket and predict who will win each and every single game on the way from narrowing down these 64 teams to 1.

I'll handle it. Remind me when the brackets are up - ESPN won't allow me to create a group until the brackets are available.

U should do it for the heck of it - you dont always have to know alot about it to get lucky and go far in the brackets
Do they even show those games over there?
Cuz one of the reasons I do it is because it makes every game fun to watch cuz u always have a team to route for - although we all know who the only real team I route for is - yeah the big losers from today - that team :sad:

Well,
I'm on, but its a blank screen.
Of course, the brackets aren't set yet, so that makes sense.
I won last year. Mostly because I picked Bucknell (I always pick the Patriot League team for one upset), and Louisville, who everyone else brushed off.
This year will be harder.

Duke vs UConn, this is the Huskies year once again, they have too much talent, hopefully they don't get lazy and actually get it going.
Oakland is the hardest region to do, Kansas in the Final four worries me because they are so young but they finished strong and there is no other real threat in that region.

Okay, I actually got mad again on the way home while I was listening to the radio. My bracket is now busted, and I'm pissed at those frauds up at OSU. OSU, you suck. You ruined my tournament. You bunch of pretenders, you actually had me believing in you for a while this season. It's rare that I'll root for OSU, and this is the year that I gave it a try. Well, becoming a fan of your team obviously turned me into an idiot, because I foolishly bought into your hype and pegged you to go waaay deeper than you deserved. The heck with that. I'm never making the same mistake with you again, and I'll be better served to just get angry if you actually do well some day (which I sincerely hope you never do). I hope each and every one of you fart loudly on your next date. I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits.
Suffice to say, I quit being an OSU fan, and now I'm working on discrete math problems while redesigning the Death Star to be a more efficient planet killer. That's how much smarter I feel.

Okay, I actually got mad again on the way home while I was listening to the radio. My bracket is now busted, and I'm pissed at those frauds up at OSU. OSU, you suck. You ruined my tournament. You bunch of pretenders, you actually had me believing in you for a while this season. It's rare that I'll root for OSU, and this is the year that I gave it a try. Well, becoming a fan of your team obviously turned me into an idiot, because I foolishly bought into your hype and pegged you to go waaay deeper than you deserved. The heck with that.

You laugh but its true - People have told me I should go to Vegas and get a job as a "cooler" - They (casinos) supposedly hire people with a history of being bad lcuk/jinx to go onto their casino floors and hang out next to people who are winning big and bring them some bad mojo - something I might look into one day - LOL

My broncomania bracket is pretty much done for, but the one i've done for money isn't too bad...got all of my final four still intact, and only unc and kansas missing from my elite eight...my smartest picks were having both georgetown and wichita st. advancing to the sweet sixteen.

Im in the oiffce one as well. $20.00 got us 2 teams picked at random. If you picked a favorite they must cover by the vegas line. I had Bucknel, who got beat by NC big, and I have Wichita still standing. They are even right now going into friday nigtys game against G. Mason.. :beer:

That's scary. The Bruins should have lost to a 10 seed Alabama team, they won only because they called a bogus charge foul on Ronald Steele, he would have made the free throw and it would have been a 3 point play.
Ronald Steele is the best PG in America. He should contend for the Naismith award next year if he stays around. Senses tells me he will and look for the Crimson Tide to be in the top 10 next year! :beer:

Oh yeah and here is my theory
Everyone bytched so much about these little teams getting in that they fixed it so an underdog/cinderella that everyone thought should not have made it makes it to the final four - so now the NCAA pickers look better and it also funnels money to those smaller schools and makes the college basketball market even bigger

This is the first year I have ever missed all 4 teams in the Final 4.
This sucks.
But, at least we don't have to hear how middling major conference teams (yes, this means you Maryland and Cincy) are more deserving than mid major schools. (Bradley, Bucknell, Wichita, and George Mason clearly can play with just about anybody.
The committee knew what they were doing.

My bracket is busted to hell and back, and it only would have been worse had Cincinnati actually made the tournament.
Ah well. I'm not too sad. We've got a new coach (same as the old coach) in Mick Cronin, so our recruiting should get us back in the mix in a year or so.

My mens bracket was dne long time ago - but I checkd my womens for the first time last night and in the group I am in I am tied for 5th (theres at least 50 people in that one) - I have 800 pts, my pct is 99 (whatever that means) and my rank in the whole thing is 2185 - (not so bad when you consider my rank for the mens is 2308091 :eek: )
The two people leading the Espn mens both picked George Mason - *** is that :confused: who would pick them to go that far - tell me that ain ****house luck :mad:

I'll assume youre a UConn fan so I'll ask you...how did UConn lose to George Mason? It seemed to me like that team just quit on Calhoun. Do they hate him or what? They hadnt played well in about 2 months...

They lost because they didnt score as many points as GM :cheeky:
But seriously - i think its more of a coc#iness and going in thinking they already had it won -

Really - thats the first ive heard that - I wonder if its the newer generation cuz he tends to be a bit old school - (but i have heard he has quite the temper) so who knows - i dont see players intentionally losing a game to make the coach mad or look bad - but who knows, crazier things have happened
