      For this reason, I don't play fantasy football or do brackets anymore. but this game is just too much fun for me. I am in.
      I'm like LeBron James.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

        • I'm in, but can we also use the women's tourney? I want to use the UConn women vs. the 16th seed.
          Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

            That puts us at 23 for now. I'll send a PM to those who participated in prior years but haven't signed up this year. For now, make sure you send me your two Thursday picks before tip tomorrow. Expect a forthcoming PM with additional info.

                  No, but there is an alternative CBI pool going on. Or is it the CIT pool? I know Western Carolina was only 16-18 on the year and 3-15 away from home, but they put up a fight against Vermont, showing they deserved to be ballin' beyond Cullowhee in March. And that Omaha-Duquesne game?! 80-69 in the 2nd half alone! Ball night!
                  I have nothing else to say at this time.

                    Is payment different from last year?

                      Nope. I got your payment. We're good.

                        If you want in, make it known. PM me your picks for Thursday before the first game tips and I'll reply with payment information.
                        you never replied with payment information for me?

                          I haven't sent out the PM yet. Sorry, this week has been crazy at the office. I'm focused on getting everyone's pick in before tip. Then I'll send out the PM.

                          Also, paging Joe Public, I need your picks!

                          • Ok. We ended up with 29 willing participants, but Joe Public still hasn't sent me his picks. I waited as long as possible before posting this. Also, one of Maximus' picks doesn't play until Friday. I PMed him, but haven't heard back. I am ok letting him pick an afternoon game if he gets back to me soon (like within the next hour). I'll keep you posted.

                            Everyone else, check your posted picks and make sure I got them down right. I was putting them in pretty hastily this morning. Those in green have already paid. Everyone else, look for a PM coming shortly.

                            • Mine are correct.

                              Can I ask what form of payment Mrs. Donuthole employed?
                              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                              • Update: JoePublic promptly got me picks of teams that haven't tipped. I'm letting him in. Still waiting on Maximus for another Thurs pick. Here's the updated list:
