March Madness Discussion Thread

[Byrd]

ESPN is running their annual March Madness bracket. Everybody is invited -- posters, lurkers and trolls. Entry is free; please incorporate your BG log in into your team name somehow so we know who you are.

Front Page: http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/frontpage
Group Name: Order of the Blue Gartr
Password: hummelknee

There's no prize except e-peen and your name added to the list below. You will have to register with ESPN.com if you haven't already (it's free and you can disable all spam). If you finish first of all 500,000+ entries on ESPN, you can get some ESPN-based swag off their website. For that reason, I would recommend using your real name and contact info if you register. If there is a tie within the group, we'll use the ESPN "grand prize" tiebreakers to figure out a single winner.

Let me know if you have any questions about the game or problems registering with ESPN, either by posting here or PM.

I added a "StraightChalk" entry, which won't count for the title if it wins, but is there as a reference. Other than that, let's keep the number of entries in the group to one per person.

Just filled out my bracket, found myself saying "fuck it" many times, ended up with by far the craziest bracket I have ever done.

MRflippy1313, Kentucky all the way

[Arvin]

as always a highly unrealistic bracket, but i don't think i could have it any other way.

i think i'll be good with guessing for a majority of it, the only part ill probably fuck up is having michigan state go all the way.

[Tyche]

Damn, I thought it was unanimous UK haterade onthese boards. Well, at least the single lowly fan doesn't post often.

Is 3 big 12 in the final 4 homer enough or do I have to slip texas in there too?

[Gargoyle]
