NCAA Basketball Pool 2011
 
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).**

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. If you care, of cours. 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.

Yes, with tickets.

Much pink on entries
 
There's a whole lotta pink on those Lawtalker entries. If I'd have remembered to fill in a bracket (based on a completely uneducated combination of seed number and whether I like the school name or mascot), I could have been in good company with an equivalent amount of pink. :D

Can we all boycott Napa Auto Parts and put them out of business before next round? Please?

I believe we're down to 3 contenders. If Kentucky wins, it's all ncs. If UNC wins, a Man will win it, either J. Manfred if UNC wins a second time or, if UNC wins this but not the next, Senior Hombre.

You would have had to have been an idiot to pick the winning bracket nationally, no?

The committee should be shot, fired, and then shot again.

Wow. I assumed when Pittsburgh lost that my bracket was cooked. I feel so fortunate that you all decided to suck even worse than I do. I'd like to thank all the number one seeds for barfing up the big games. And I'd like to thank Kentucky for bourbon, for the Kentucky Derby and for keeping a cat team in the Final Four.

UCONN has taken Kentucky once this year already. I sense same outcome, different day. No offence. :)
