NCAA Basketball Pool 2009
 
Alright, it's that time again--NCAA pools.

So, to join in the fun, I created a private group at ESPN.com-->Fantasy Games-->Tournament Challenge for our little clique.

After you've created an entry*, search for the group

Lawtalkers

It's a private group. You need the following password to join:

YSBDetails

One entry each (i.e., per primary sock)**, in case some prize comes along, and we need to keep it fair.

The brackets are posted on the Sunday before the tournament. I think the entries are locked on Thurs. morn before the first game. You can get the details at the ESPN site.


* Note that to maintain anonymity you should use/create an account that does not bear your real name. The name on your account will appear in the standings (as does your "entry" name).

**That's one entry per "real" person, not one for each of your many socks.

Ty and Ty@50 should be allowed in IMHO.

If Ty@50 picks and doesn't win, then he'll lose all (remaining) credibility.

my entry claims it is complete, but doesn't show the final winner, even to me. NWTF?

You mean in the group scorecard? No one can see others' picks until they all lock on Thurs. I imagine it's set that way even to you for yourself.

It does when you print the bracket.

I'm in, Baby!
 
And I'm not letting Memphis kill me in the final again. They'll do it before, this year.

They may kill some of us long before that.

So much for hometown loyalty
 
If I had not foolishly, sentimentally & irrationally picked the Gophers to beat Texas, I would be alone at the top of our group -- at least for a brief and shining moment. Instead I have to share my fleeting glory.

but you had the great wisdom to pick the overall winner correctly, so you'll be in it until the end.

early games i was 4-0, then 2nd set 2-2, extrapolating that means I'll go 1-3 next, then 0-4 later tonight. please holy Jesus, no.
