NCAA Tournament Bracket for Fun

[STAggie]

I created a group on ESPN for friends of mine but we are looknig for more people to join. If you would like to join a group just for bragging rights here is the info:

ESPN Bracket Challenge
Group Name: Pick Um McNeil
Password: Basketball

Please join, it should be fun and doesn't cost a thing.

[Looking4number8]

Ok, I joined it. Right now it looks like it is just me vs. you (or at least that is all I can see). Good luck to you

[goosealaniz]

i joined... but this is my 2nd bracket so i made a couple of picks that im pretty sure will go wrong...

[STAggie]

Awesome, thanks for joining. Some friends of mine are supposed to be joining if they get off their lazy a$$es and do it.

[Looking4number8]

The Espn thing is pretty cool. They have made it very simple to do this year.

[jason]

the password is 'basketball'

'Basketball' does not work

[goosealaniz]

i hope i win... or at least not get last

[waterboy]

Can anyone give us a link? I'd like to play, but I don't remember my user name or password from last year.:(

Yeah, but I didn't see anything about a group bracket. Maybe I'm blind.........I don't know, but a link to where you sign in would be nice.:D

I joined the group, and only hope that I'm not too far behind after this week.

This is a pretty cool idea, Thanks!!!!

[goosealaniz]

i hope one of the Alaniz's win

[waterboy]

Okay, I'm in! Had to add some numbers to my user name, though, and give them a different e-mail address, but I got in. Yippee! I'll probably be toward the bottom in the standings, though, but that's okay. I doubt seriously I'll be the "caboose", though!:D

mine arent as bad as i thought

[jason]

geez western kentucky almost blew it....

[Looking4number8]

I did pretty good yesterday only missing one pick, but for some unknown reason I picked Texas A&M over UConn... My bracket should go downhill from there

[Bigworm]

I predicted 2 wrong games yesterday, but it should go downhill in the later rounds because I have Gonzaga beating UNC and OU :D

I'm 14-2. I was stupid for picking Minnesota over Texas. I have
Duke beating them though.

[Lion_Addict]

My 2 "misses" were Western Kentucky over Illinois & Michigan over Clemson.

Your lead is not gonna last long. You picked Texas A & M to make the Final 4!!! WOW!!! They play UCONN next and will not get past them. I'm all for homerism but that is beyond that!!! Good luck!!

yep, if I thought I would have even been close on the rest of it, I might have stuck with UConn. My college basketball knowledge is weak but I know better than A&M in the final 4, I just did not know I would get so lucky with the rest of my picks
