Do you think I should sit out this year? Y'know, so it's fair?




Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.

I'll join, but I know almost nothing about college basketball so let's see how picking blind works out.

I have just joined up my team name is Sooners, I was debating if I wanted to join or not. I mainly joined because I hated the fact that I finished dead last in the mens field last year.

You do not have to worry about that this year seeing as dead last will have my name written over it already tongue

I made it out of the first round in first place of a very large office pool with 67 people in it. I'm having my doubts about UNC winning it all though. Ty Lawson doesn't look like he'll be playing, or playing at anything close to 100%. I don't think they can win it all without him.

I'm screwed if UCLA doesn't go far, but otherwise I'm mediocre (as usual). I also have UNC taking it all. ohwell

I took a chance and had Wake going to the final four. I thought it would be fun to pick one that not too many others have going that far. I didn't think they would go out in the first round though.

How much is the pool worth? I have UNC finishing second in my bracket.

Well so far all of my final 4 teams are safe. Although in the womens bracket I lost Texas from the final 4. mad

In the pool at my place of work a co-worker of mine took Wake Forrest winning it all in the mens bracket.

I'm not sure exactly how much 1st place is, but it's well over $1,000. Right now, I'm rolling. But it's still very early. All my
teams in the Sweet 16 are alive.

UT proved tonight that despite a crappy year, they're pretty much just as good as Duke.

I think the tournament is further establishing the Big East as the deepest, most powerful basketball conference. The ACC and Big 12 are a couple rungs lower on the ladder.
