Anyone up for a fun (no money involved) NCAA basketball pool? If so find the best free online bracket tracker and let us know. I know there is one on espn but there could be some better ones. We would all need to join the same pool and do so before games start on Thursday.... Speak up if your interested.

I actually thought the same thing, but never had time today to look at it. I'd join in if it's free.

I created a group for us on the CBS challenge page. So here are the details: Go to this website- http://www.ncaa.com/games/bracketchallenge/Click on join a group- Group Name: Fastrunning Password: runblogrepeat Then fill out your bracket. I sent emails to a few of you to notify... it was right off that website. However anyone on the blog is welcome to join and it should be a lot of fun. Plus it's free! Let me know if you have any questions. |

Oop I forgot to say sign up first. So Sing Up by choosing a name and password for yourself then it will take you to where you can join the group and fill out your bracket.

Password: runblogrepeat

I'll also note that the password is case-sensitive, and should actually be "Runblogrepeat"

Sweet! Now we will have to find out who people are under their tournament name. Who is stubtoe? Also make sure you sign up for the Mens tournament... I didn't do anything with the laddies side.

Oh, and for the record, I don't follow college basket one iota, other than the Aggies (who WILL advance to the Sweet 16, mark my words). I pretty much make my picks at random. One year, I had a cat choose all my picks. I tossed out two ping pong balls, one with "U" for underdog and one with "F" for favorite. Did this for the entire bracket. Whichever ball the cat batted at got the nod. Kitty was beating one of my roommates through Day 1, but got massacred thereafter. So it goes. Another year, I took 2nd in the USU Geology pool, due to the fact I picked Indiana to win it all simply because I'm from Indiana. Everybody laughed at me, but they weren't laughing when IU shocked the country and advanced to the championship game and darn near won it. Big points for me. Another year I took 3rd in my dorm pool because I picked Michigan State, a 1-seed, to lose early. I was going to school in Michigan at the time, and all my Michigander dorm mates of course picked MSU to go all the way. To be contrary, I picked them to lose, and lose they did, which messed everyone over but me. This year I'm picking Memphis, with my rationale being that they have good ribs and Sasha ran a good marathon there.

Yeah I just have fun with it too... I filled out my bracket but may go back and change some things. I have Pitt winning as of now because they have taken it to UCONN twice but I may make some last min changes as we can edit our brackets up until game time I think.
BTW I love the Memphis rational... not really the ribs part either.

It's on. This should be fun. I may have been more loyal to Utah and BYU than reason allows, but oh well. In the end I have Louisville winning it all in a titanic game against Pitt.

I just filled out my bracket. I've never done one before, took about 3 minutes to fill it out and hate college basketball. I should do pretty well.

Ha ha, I'll consider you my chief rival then. We can wallow in each other's ignorance. |
