March Madness -- Umpire-Empire NCAA basketball pool

[Umpire in Chief]

No cash just pride.

We only had a few entries last year, but with more than double the number of active members I wanted to offer up a NCAA Basketball Brackets again for this year.

If you participated last year you can use your same info.

ROCK CHALK!

I'm in.

[JamesC]

Signed up!

[BT_Blue]

Im in as well. I sucked last year but still came in second out of 4 I think.

[kcfan102]

Good luck fellas

[LMSANS]

I'm in and if anybody doesn't do better than me, you should be very embarassed.:rock

[Umpire in Chief]

4 days left to complete your bracket!

[mstaylor]

Done but I suck at this.

[jim knight]

I am in but what a first day... Murray State wins?

[Umpire in Chief]

What a first day and to think I nearly picked against Georgetown. But I thought picking against G'town would ruin my brackets.

I don't particularly like any Big East Basketball teams and tend to pick against them much like I pick against the MWC, PAC-10 in football.

[mstaylor]

My bracket is toast. I told you I suck. 6 wrong so far. Not even I'm not that bad. NCAA must have really screwed up the bracket this year, no way it's my fault.

Even though it screwed up my bracket seeing Big east teams loose is a good thing.

All right, so I am in. I used to do this at work and get into it and try to figure it out. This year I picked the favorites everytime, except one game. I heard some dude on the radio he thought Pitt would go out v Xavier so that is my ONLY underdog pick.

TEN underdogs win in the first round!

I'm on the site trying to see our standings and can't seem to get to it. Anyone else having this problem?

[LMSANS]

Wow you guys do a lot of bellyaching, 4 game differnce between 1st and 10th place. Come on!

Oh yeah there is also a 4 game difference between 10th and 11th.

My West region was gone very quickly.

:kissass:

guess who is in 11th? Thank goodness for the guy that didn't make his picks. Otherwise I'd be dragging even further down.

:spit:

I can get to the brackets but my "standings" button doesn't work. I want to see if anyone is doing as bad as me. I get this:

"error

Only the league commissioner is allowed to access this page."

when I try to go to standings. Anyone else having this problem?

Also, is up with Kansas losing to Northern frikin Iowa? :wow:

How can I possibly be 3rd? I missed 10/32 on the first two days!

[Umpire in Chief]

Because everybody's brackets are jacked up.

As It stands right now the best game (if it happens) will be Kentucky vs Duke. That will actually determine the national champion.

[LMSANS]

Mike,

You're almost down to my lowly level. :D
