March Madness is Upon us

Is anybody interested in being part of a March Madness Men's NCAA Basketball Tournament Pick'em? All you need to join is a Yahoo! I.D. (if you don't have one you can easily get one.)

I have already set up a special group just for HRC'ers.

Go to:

tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men

to sign up.

Our group ID is 29832
password: hrc

(There can only be 50 people in our group)

Just thought you might like to have something to make this crappy weather laden March (at least around here!) go quicker.

Jim

dB: If this sort of thing is not kosher on HRC, I apologize in advance. Just 86 it.

I'm in. I'm logging in/signing in now. Let's do this. My team Cal, didn't make the tournament, so I don't have to have any crazy home town lunacy for my picks.

All right!! We got three people so far. Remember, you don't need to follow college basketball too closely to join...it's just for fun!

Go Badgers!

Atta Boy! I just now made my picks. It was pretty much a crap shoot, because, other than the Big ten, I really haven't followed college hoops this year.

From the Yahoo Website:

Deadline to make picks is Thu Mar 17 11:15am CST.

Sweet. My picks are up. I actually have Duke winning it Vdale, though I hate to do it (seems like a cop out pick to me). I got Wisconsin getting to the round of 8 too. My team is not invited this year, so I'm rooting for St Mary's, and UOP (Pacific). My second tier rooting is Washington and Gonzaga. Boo Stanford.

Utah has a big ole Aussie who they say will prolly be a first round draft pick, possibly lottery pick. He's like 7 ft and just plain old big.

Duke beat Georgia Tech in the ACC tournament this past Sunday. They beat UNC Tarheels before that though (Yessss, hate UNC). Great team but they depend on one guy to get hot to do the scoring. Course, Dude has Riddick for the same reason sometimes.

Did you see that out of the half million or so people that are in the overall Yahoo! Pick'em only ONE person picked all of the games correctly! Wow! (It wasn't me!!)

Today and tomorrow will be the day that separated the men from the boys.

I only have two of my final four teams left in the running! Bummer! At least there are still TWO teams from Wisconsin left alive. (I didn't pick either of them to make it this far!)

My brackets have been officially busted. I guess that makes me a "bracket buster". My final game is still possible (though somewhat of a longshot), but my two final four losers didn't even get that far.

Some of the basketball has been great to watch. North Carolina v. Iowa State was super exciting.

Good god, I didn't even manage to get one final four team right. This must be the worst bracket I've ever filled out. Conversely, this season is the most college basketball I've ever watched. Leave it to someone who thinks they know what they're talking about to be the biggest buffoon!

Vdale,

You win the big Kewpie Doll! Way to go!

Thanks to everybody who played along! For those of you who watched the games, I'm sure you will agree that it was one of the most esciting tournaments in a long time!

dB...I wondered what happened to you...your name was all of a sudden gone.

Oh well, now we'll have to wait until fantasy football starts in August!
