Following this link:

Linky (http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup_assign_team?GID=63318&P=sherri)

Or find SoonerFans.com on Yahoo. Group id# 63318. The password is sherri.

I ask that you name at least one bracket after a username here.

If you participated in last year's fun, you should have just gotten an email invite.

There is nothing at stake (unless you wanna play for a million bucks or whatever yahoo has running should you be the annual kid with some type of condition that causes him to pick everything perfectly), just fun-ness.

If I am feeling up for it (and right now I am coughing, sneezing and feeling miserable because of Daylight Savings Time), I will probably do vBookie stuff related to the bracket also.

Good luck!

The St. Bonnie vs Xavier Game is on and one of the Bonnie players wears size 16 shoes. He blew out one of them and somehow they found him another size 16 pair but he blew out one of them too. Today he's playing with unmatched shoes from both pairs. What gets me is that these kids play everyday and most of them probably wear sizes you can't go to the store and buy off the shelf.

These shoe companies play their commercials the entire Month of March but some of these kids playing seem to not have access to a decent pair of basketball shoes to play in the NCAA Tournament? The School obviously can giveg them descent uniform and socks, but can't they help supply these kids with shoes?

If there is some sort of NCAA Rule about shoes, I understand but the announcers where kind of making light of the guys shoe problems. That kind of pissed me off. Give these kids some damn shoes.

I set up a Soonerfans women's pick'em game on yahoo with GROUP ID# 1166. The password is also "sherri". The brackets are not yet filled out and I can't wait to see if the Sooners get their first 2 tourney games at home.

I'll donate a bottle of Jack to the winner of the women's pic'em game. Either that or the dollar equivalent.

I should note --- I think there's a max of 50 allowed to participate per bracket group. We have 16 signed up so far (and you can each do up to 5 brackets).

Also, if you miss out on bracket fun, I will try to get some lengthy (week-ish) vBetting fun in on vBookie regarding the tourney. There are a few things up now, such as "Which Big 12 team gets ousted first?" and "Which 12-16 seed team wins its first game?"

For the men's bracket, I accidentally signed up twice and couldn't figure out how to delete it. So the second one won't count.

Yeah, being an 11-seed doesn't bode well for them sticking around much. However, if you get more ambitious with one of the higher seeded teams, the payoff is much better than 1 to 10 :P

I'll check that out. The password "sherri" is all lower case letters, if that helps.

Olevet has joined, so he got in.

I still can't fill out the brackets. I think the seeding is supposed to be released Monday night.

These play-in games aren't fair to the conference champs like lamar and Vermont. They should get a shot at the big boys without havung to win yet another game.

All playin games should be sucky at large 13 and 14 seeds.

I wasn't go to fill in a bracket but I had time at work this morning so I'm in.

I remember the good ole days when OU played in this tournament. It's becoming a fading memory.

I had Florida schooling Mizzou so I think I'm still OK unless Norfolk does something crazier than beating the SEC Celler Dwellers named Mizzou. LMAO@The Tigers.

Right now my East Bracket is the only one I could still pick all the way through. I had Memphis as my Crazy pick to get to the Semis. I'm done in that bracket. I still have Kentucky, UNC and Ohio St. to get me 3 out of 4 to the Final Four though. I have Ohio State beating Syracuse at the Great 8. I watched Ohio State play Michigan State and felt they might have a shot to get better after that loss.

My only hope so far is that my Final 4 is intact. Go Wisky!

The women's basketball tourny pick'em is pretty tight after the first round with everyone getting 26-28 out of the 32 matches.

Looks like Kentucky has Indiana whooped....another bracket winner for me.

Also KU is ahead in their game against NCst....that would be another winner for me.

The way UNC played tonight without Marshall but he isn't a huge producer as far as points go at 8 points per game in the Regular Season but he had stepped up his play in the Tourney by scoring 12, 15, 11 and 18 against Creighton in which he broke his wrist that night and had Surgery on Monday and a screw put in it.

I don't see him back in UNC's lineup against KU and I think it might have killed my run in the brackets as I had UNC winning it all.

But....who knows. Sometimes other guys step up and play on Teams like UNC. Maybe they can pick it up from here.


Freshman guard Stilman White (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=56963) was an impressive fill-in for Marshall, dishing out six assists without a single turnover and playing 32 minutes -- almost three times his previous high.

Sitlman and the bench counted for 8 points total tonight so IMO to beat KU White and the other Two Guards will not only need to step it up and help run the offense for UNC but they will need to help in scoring and defense against the Rock Chalk Jaywalks.

I'm probably screwed....lol

StoopTroup

Holy CARP KU is running for their life too.....

1:06 left it's a one point game!

KU 58-57

3/23/2012, 11:37 PM
NCst's ball with 42.5

NCst timeout with 37 seconds left

StoopTroup
3/23/2012, 11:42 PM
Wow. KU at the line with 16.1 left....

58-57....

Taylor with a one on one

Misses the free throw and the ball goes out of bounds....possession to KU....lol

Bad luck for NCst

KU hits a bucket on the in bound pass

KU 60 NCst 57 0:13 seconds left with NCst's ball and 2 Time Outs.

StoopTroup
3/23/2012, 11:46 PM
NCst kid steps out of bounds trying to catch a cross court pass. Tragic.

KU at the line but misses....

Still 2.9 seconds left and if NCst hits a 3....it's OT unless a KU Player fouls....lol

StoopTroup
3/23/2012, 11:47 PM
KU WINS! Barely

StoopTroup
3/23/2012, 11:54 PM
If UNC wins it all (which I doubt anyone left can get by Kentucky) I could pull off a really nice Bracket this year. I also need KY to beat Baylor, UNC to Beat KU, then Ohio St and Ohio St to beat Syracuse.

I got a tough road to hoe.

StoopTroup
3/24/2012, 07:38 PM
Ohio St seems to have Syracuse's number.

StoopTroup
3/25/2012, 06:05 PM
Oof....KU destroying UNC in the last 2 minutes. UNC can't hit any 3's so it looks like it's over and I'm out of this. I had UNC winning in a miracle. I'm happy with my bracket this year though. Best I've done in awhile.

Good luck to KU.

39.5 seconds left and Tucky has the ball. Kansas down by 6

Thanks Mizzou, I knew there was a reason I have hated the Tigers my whole sports life. Not sure why I picked as final four. Oh yeah, they looked like world beaters in most games this season.

Apologies for abandoning this thing right before the tourney started. Explanation is in the South Oval. Spoiler: NP rushed me to the hospital the day before the tourney started so I could give birth to our first child. Yes, she was early and it was totally spontaneous. No warning whatsoever.

That's why I didn't fill out a bracket in my own little bracket pool thing and why I took a month off from posting here. But, when the baby does not demand badger time, I might get on here occasionally to post again :)
