College Bball March Madness Pick em.

[Ruf/Nek7]

Is anyone setting one up or am I, yet again, volunteering myself to do so by creating this thread?

So long as I don't have a baby again I might be able to do something if you all are on Yahoo as well

That is what I have always done. It seems as though the popularity of these pick em leagues has dwindled in recent years. I remember getting into those things when I first joined this site and there were far more people that participated than they do today. Maybe, we need a more popular person (you) to create these things as I did a mediocre job of conjuring interest.

P.S. I would also be interested in doing a women's pick em as well. I always do one on ESPiN.

I'm not popular. I'm long winded :P

I'll start it now if I can. Maybe with advanced notice more will partake

Ok, here goes:

[8timechamps]

I'll sticky this and when it gets a little closer I'll sticky a shortcut on the football board.

Mine is blank.

[kevpks]

The defending champion is back!

[badger]

Mine is blank.

the only way you can win is to not lose :P

[Ruf/Nek7]

Awesome! Thanks for not producing another offspring thus freeing you to do this good deed.

[rdusooner]

Getting in on this!

[badger]

Reminder: Pick em is probably now open, but probably limited to the first 50 that try to enter.

So, please enter if you want to.

[rdusooner]

My 9 year old has been talking a lot of smack, so I'm going to let him create a bracket as well. Should be fun, his first one!

[Soonerfan88]

Just got mine started. Since this year has been so wacky, many of mine are who I want to win and I don't expect to come out on top. :beguiled:

[badger]

One more day left people.

Once you register, make sure you fill in a bracket. Don't just leave it blank :D

[badger]

SIX OPENINGS LEFT!

You MUST register AND create a bracket before the first tipoff today (at about 11 a.m.)

[8timechamps]

Somehow, I entered my bracket in the "general group" instead of the Soonerfans group. DAMN!

[badger]

Top of the Leaderboard after day 1:

1 - S.PadreIsl.Sooner (14 of 16)
2 - Sharon's Standout Bracket (13 of 16)
2 - RD's Glorious Bracket (13 of 16)

And these guys are tied in fourth with 12 of 16 correct so far:

-Chuck's picks
- Seymour Butinski's Fab Bracket
- RUF/NEK7
- Landry's Tattoos
- Tanline's Top-Notch Bracket
- Soonerfan88
- randall180
- salth2o

I may return with updates later, depend on how bad my bwaquette gets :(

[Soonerfan88]

Well, my picks based on preferences over talent went just as I thought. However, I sincerely picked Gonzaga as the overall winner and am completely shocked (pun intended) at their loss. Iowa State came oh so close, but no cigar. Too bad KU is the only Big12 team left as I cannot bring myself to cheer for them.

Had Michigan won, i would have been champ. Every other bracket i did, i had louisville. Never should have altered this one. Oh well, it was fun. Thanks again Badger for setting it up.
