I am not sure I have the spare time, but I will look into this and see what I can come up with.

There's really nothing to it. All you really do is pick your teams and watch from there.
The brackets will be announced Sunday night.
Ten contestants at the moment.

I'm in. Hope I do better than last year. I still know little about college BB.
brackets are up now. I just completed mine. I believe that you can still sign up if you haven't yet. We have 14 at the moment, but more the merrier.

3 out of 4 of my Final Four are TN colleges. I might be biased. Ha.

I've got the TN Vols going all the way!
I've got them losing to NC.

I got NC losing to UCLA.
I have UCLA losing to Duke in the Elite 8.

I have it the other way around..
I have Duke and UNC in the final with UNC winning 84-81.

Gah...it makes me sick to my stomach to say that.
I'm going with Kansas. They've underachieved every year under Self, so I'm expecting a breakthrough this year like Donovan had at Florida a couple of years ago.
Ryan, it's a sick joke that the committee put UK against Marquette so they can have the pleasure of knocking us out for a third time. It's starting to get old. I expect UK to give them a good fight, though.
I'm scared of Kansas. They've been disappointing a lot lately. I've got them losing to Georgetown in the Elite 8.

A lot of teams knock on the door for a few years before breaking through. Disappointments and then all of a sudden success. That's why I'm looking at Kansas and Tennessee and Memphis. I'm seeing Memphis and TN getting bumped off early and Kansas making a big run. Of course, it's a crapshoot, and whoever knows the least about college basketball will probably win this.
There are a lot of other examples throughout sports though of people who consistently knock on the door but never come in. They can only prove me wrong one more time.

You're right, it IS starting to get old. But I was way more pissed when UK had to play EKU in an opening round game. That was maybe the only time I openly cheered against the Cats.

I've got 14 out of 16 correct picks so far. Much better than last year.
Summary from yesterday
3 people won 14 games
6 people won 13 games
3 people won 12 games
3 people won 11 games
1 person won 10 games
The range of possible points at the moment is 162 to 190.

I got 13. Fortunately though, my three losers were picked to lose in the next round so I can still get 189/192 points (theoretically).

No you don't.. You still have your final four..
No, no he doesn't. He had Kentucky in the
Final Four.

Blame Tony Kornheiser. I changed my bracket constantly because of him.

Wow. As a UK alum, I appreciate your belief in the Big Blue. Even I had them going out in the second game.
Now that my team is gone, all I have left is to root against UCLA, Duke, and UNC.

I would have gotten crunk last night if Belmont had pulled it out against Duke.

From his radio show or PTI? on his radio show he would criticize people then, take their picks.

Wilbon is great, but he doesn't know his college basketball. :D

He knows more than Kornheiser when it comes to basketball... Kornheiser is the football guy.. ;)

@#$% Gonzaga, USC and Connecticut.
Go Saints. 46-34 at the half over Vandy.

I love PTI, but it's obvious that Kornheiser hardly even watches sports.
Last year, I came in second. My largest mistake last year? Believing in Duke.
This year, I'll be happy to finish in the top half. My largest mistake? Believing in Duke.
There seems to be a pattern forming.

Well...my bracket isn't completely destroyed. I would probably be more concerned if the old alma mater Wisconsin wasn't still in the tournament. I actually would have preferred to see them play Gerogetown. I am uncomfortable with Wisconsin Basetball being favored. That being said...Brian "Polar Bear" Butch needs to be fed!

When do I get my original Fred sketch?
what was it supposed to be a sketch of?

Well actually I just made that up. That would be a good prize though. I was thinking Aquaman riding a sea turtle would make a good sketch.

Well the sketch is something I just made up. I don't expect Fred to do anything.
I have Aquaman riding a turtle halfway done and got frustrated with paint. try again later perhaps.

It's beautiful! The influence of Picasso's Guernica is obvious in your work. It is truly art!
