It's that time of the year gang - and even now a number of you are itching to play for the internal glory of bragging rights that no-one here will suffer well - but will quietly admire when you land at the top of the heap.

Anak is boasting there's no one in the pool now that can beat him --

I'm in.

I think I finished well last year. I'm taking Villanova to repeat. Because it's my alma mater. And nobody else will take them all the way. Much disrespect from all the talking heads. Everyone is picking Duke. Bring 'em on!!

Good Luck

It hurt me terribly to not pick Maryland for the National Champion. I probably have them going a round more than they actually will though. Oh, and I have LOT'S of practice screwing things up. LOL. Thanks for setting this up!

ok we have our 24

In the top menu - the far right selection is "Printable Brackey"
if you select that a savable/printable PDF appears of your brackets with your selections

well I made up for an awful thursday

gidiefor : Mod : 3/18/2017 11:17 am : link

anyway -- only minus 1 on Friday

Little bit of a slip from Thursday's 15-1

The only one that stings is SMU, although the Marquette loss is irritating.

That loud sound you just heard...

tony stg : 3/18/2017 2:32 pm : link

... was my bracket going BOOM with Notre Dame's loss (one of my Final Four teams).

rt had them going all the way tony

gidiefor : Mod : 3/18/2017 2:36 pm : link

don't think it gets worse than that

Nope. It doesn't.

the Nova gods need some live sacrifices

gidiefor : Mod : 3/18/2017 3:06 pm : link

if Nova goes down -- our whole pool gets thrown into disarray

OK - just so you Nova fans can commiserate

gidiefor : Mod : 3/18/2017 5:25 pm : link

half of you had Nova in the Final - a third of you had them winning the final

3 of my 4 Final Four teams are now gone...

tony stg : 3/19/2017 2:56 pm : link

... in the round of 32. Kiss of death for UNC?

Also, maybe the B1G was a little better than folks gave them credit for?

Actually, I would think the multiple people picking Villanova to win it all would be worse than just one person picking ND to win it all.

Just sayin'

a few more brackets may be busted tonite
