OK... I admit that I voted "What's a bracket??", but want to play anyway. I'll have Christopher tell me what teams to choose. LOL. :rolleyes: How long do we have to pick the teams??

I've printed out a list of the first and second round match-ups and I thought I would see the U of I there. Aren't they playing?? I live in Champaign, IL and was hoping I'd know at least one of the teams in the tournament!

That's it? We only have 3 people?!?! Where is everybody?

There's still time to enter -- have until tip-off of tomorrow's first game.

And you can still adjust your brackets. Syracuse's center Melo is ineligible and out for the tourney.
 
ESPN has an app you can put on your phone to follow the bracket you create as it unfolds! :D I have to admit I kinda cheated a little bit and looked at the ones the sports commentators created for ideas... Kentucky seems to be a popular choice to win the National Championship.
 
I think I've watched 10 minutes of basketball this year. Maybe that was last year.

Nothing against it. Just not my first choice.

I've had that app on my iPhone since last year. Very handy!

Yeah, but with only 4 people in the PoA group so far, you'd have a pretty good shot at winning bragging rights here if you put in an entry! ;)

You've got until today's tip (12:15 PM Eastern Time) to get yer brackets in!!!
 
Hey!! Look at the bracket so far... 1st place!! I'll have to tell Christopher! :goofy:
 
Ugh... This game is harder than I thought. Christopher is saying I told you so. I thought men were supposed to be good at this stuff!

LOL.

The 4/13 and 5/12 matchups are good for the occasional upset. If you pick right, you look like a genius. If not (for example, see my South region, ugh!), then you look like no genius.
 
I picked some stupid upsets, but am going to win anyways if UNC wins since no one else picked them. I was at UMD when we won the championship in 2003ish. Was one of the best days of my life.
 
I picked Virgina over Florida, but it ain't gonna happen
 
If Florida State doesn't wake up soon, Nick's gonna be in a world of hurt! :(
 
bye bye Duke, this will ruffle up the brackets
 
How'd ya like Norfolk St beating Mizzou? Whoooaaaaa! :eek:

Grrr... I give up on this game. :( Christopher went to Mizzou, that is why I had them going all the way, but they are already out of it despite having a very high seeding number! There is just no telling what will happen! :mad2:

Yeah, it's very rare that a 15 seed beats a 2, and then we had that happen twice yesterday!

You can tell peoples' bias in their picks. I see it with my other group. But we're here on the east coast, so we rarely have an opportunity to see the western US teams, or teams from the non-power conferences.

There is just no telling what will happen! :mad2:
That's part of the fun!!! I've got tickets for the Sweet 16 and Elite 8 games in Atlanta next weekend, and right now, we have no idea who we're going to be seeing!
 
And the winner was .... ME!!! Thanks for playing everybody! Better luck next year! :D

(Hey, I waited a couple of days so as not to appear to be gloating ;))

Attached is a pic I snapped from our seats at the Georgia Dome right before the Xavier/Baylor Sweet 16 game.

I smell a fix.
LOL. I assure you it was dumb luck!

There were a lot of awesome games, though. The Final Four is coming back to the Georgia Dome next year, but it won't be a half house setup like you see in my picture (and like it was for the FF in 2007 when we went). I don't understand how people can go to a football stadium to watch a basketball game on the 50 yard line, so I'll probably skip it. :confused: :(
