I have start a Yahoo group so we can all fill out brackets and see who is the best basketball seer.
You should fill one out even if you know nothing about basketball. Crazy things happen in March, and sometimes the ill-informed are better predictors than the ultra-informed.
Group name: D+D Bracketeering
Group #: 27877
Password: wangs
There will be a prize for the winner. A small prize. But a prize.
Time to catch up on college hoops. I have the feeling that Kansas, as much as I am going to root for them, isn't going to repeat.
I don't think Kansas is getting in.
They are tied for the lead in the Big 12 conference. They have a record of 24 - 6. I think they will probably get a number 3 or 4 seed in one of the brackets.

I'm in as Bracket's Edge.
It symbolizes both Mirror's Edge and the fact that I will get the edges of the bracket correct (the 1-16's and 2-15's) and everything else wrong.
By the way, the thing I notice about the brackets is that, even though they created a play-in game, nobody ever asks you to predict it. What if someone thinks Alabama St. will beat Louisville but Morehead St. won't? What then, bracket gods?

I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.
No Gus Johnson for Michigan which was our only hope for the Sweet Sixteen. Dayton is suddenly very dangerous. Also Gus and Raftery working the same day so you can't get 8 games worked by them? Bummer.
I've always wanted to hear a Gus/Raftery team.

Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
The most beautiful thing on that list is not a Billy Packer in sight
This is true. Not that Jim "When do The Masters start" Nantz and Clark "Remember that point I made 10 seconds ago, I'd like to make it again" Kellogg are great. But it is better than the Nantz/Packer we hate basketball routine.
Raftery for #1 color guy!

Wisconsin and Marquette get something called a Craig Bolerjack and a Dan Wenzel.

did you see the part where it says "get ready" to fill out brackets
EDIT: I think if you sign up for the yahoo group now it will email you when the field is selected so you can go fill em out

I *may* be a Big Ten homer.

"Click on a team name to advance that team to the next round. Submit your picks before the first game on Thursday, March 19."
?
We were discussing the play in game, which is on Tuesday.
I hope I win!
I don't even have a #2 seed in my final four.
I am so not getting any of these games right.
Final Four Picks:
Wake Forest v Purdue
Villanova v Syracuse
hey, it could happen.
Democrats Abroad! || Vote From Abroad
EDIT: No, wait, there have been two years where that's happened. But in both years, a 2 made it.
For the record, I have UConn over Kansas, Villanova over North Carolina, UConn over Villanova.
I wish we could have two brackets so I could have made my annual "all hell breaks loose" bracket where ALL the 16s advance to the second round.
Greatest sporting event ever. And my boys are in this year, so it's even better.

Competent if somewhat boring if I remember right.
Nantz and Enberg are the two you want to avoid. Verne is starting to lose it but he and Raftery have excellent and highly entertaining chemistry.
Though that blog disagreed last year.
