Sure. I can set it up through Yahoo, but probably not until tomorrow.

I am always in.  Most years there are not many around here that want to give it a shot.  I have followed college basketball very little this year.

Good luck

link?

here's another thought--not for this year--but i was thinking that, analogous to a those crossword puzzles that do not have the empty squares shaded black, a very challenging way to play would be to guess all the brackets before the NCAA has assigned the teams to go in them.

We talked about it last year and I remember a couple people saying they were too busy to be checking on something like that every day.

what about fantasy baseball?

much too busy.  it's not quite final, but i will likely spend much of the next 6-7 months traveling.

I'd do an NL only league. I don't really watch the AL anyway, except during the Interleague phase of the schedule.

crap, am i too late?  an event popped up on my calendar and consumed the past week.

A caveat to everyone before they check the standings on Monday morning and laugh at my barely-.500 record:
I've watched four college basketball games in their entirety this season - three involving Arizona State, which finished 10th in its conference only because there are just 10 teams in it, and a Syracuse-Pitt game only because a 'Cuse alum who had to baby-sit his toddler that night offered to buy me beer if I went to his house and watched with him.

i went to the link and saw no way to join anything.  so i made a bracket, and still can't figure out who to submit it.

fwiw, i don't think i've seen any college games for the past several years, so i'm guessing you trounce my picks, based on what these teams did back in the 90's.  i almost picked gonzaga, but they were seeded 11, not 10 . . . .   so i passed.

nevermind, i'm in.  i like being last in these guy sports things.  losing gives my testosterone factory a break from it's normal schedule of double-overtime.

My strategy is pretty simple. I always pick Kansas to go deep in the tournament. That way if they win, I get some consolation.

I'm the same way with Dook. I think I've posted this before, but the woman who lives across the street is a Dookie. Not long afer we moved in, she's out in her dumbass Dookie Bloo Devil sweatshirt raking leaves. We introduce ourselves and I ask "Did you go to Dook?" Her (enthusiastically): "Yes!!" Me: "That's OK. Maybe we'll get along anyway."
I've been eyed with a great deal of suspicion ever since ...

I picked big ten teams to do well even though they likely will not.

i always do that, only to have them betray me.  this year i picked them all to die.  mine was an 'all guess and no sentiment' bracket this year.
