March Madness
« on: March 17, 2011, 11:51:43 pm »
Probably should have done this earlier, but maybe next year? ESPN has groups we can join.

So far I'm 5-2, W. Va, Kentucky, Temple, SDSU, and Pitt, but Louisville and Butler.

Worth a try: http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/entry?entryID=1706702&sp=true

yeah, it's a little late.  But I'll do it if anybody else will.

Neither of my alma maters played well today.  At least UK pulled it out at the end.

Oddly enough, one daughter is planning to go to Morehead in the fall, the other to Louisville.

Almost everyone I picked got eliminated in the first or second round.

If y'all are into it next year I'll put together a bracket, though it'll be like LFM at football.

If you already have a bracket set up on espn.com, you can join a group.  You can't get in now if you don't already have your bracket, though.

http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=205484
group name:  TOUAMB
password:  nicepete

I had St. John's in the final four, so pretty much everyone is ahead of me already.

I'm still theoretically alive for all my eights (and so on) to come through.

Apparently, as I learned tonight when I saw a banner that engulfed an entire side of the downtown Hilton hotel (so much for your park view, suckers), that the Final Four is being held in my fair city.  This is cool.
