I'm In. I can't remember which pools I did last year.

I joined but it will not let me make any picks. It says to either click or drag/drop to advance a team, but that isn't working.

I had the same problem in Firefox. I quit and re-opened Firefox, it ran smoothly after that.

I tried that, no luck. Finally tried to do it in IE, and that worked for me. I'm in, and likely a lock for last place, as I know nothing about basketball. I've got Kentucky going all the way, and a Kansas/Kansas St semifinal, with Kansas St advancing.

I'm in, even though this group is being run by an obvious Jayhawk hater. :p

I'm in. I have to make up for last year; the worst bracket I have ever had.

In too, though I haven't been paying much attention this year so mine's full of WAGs.

I'm in and certainly Not Going out on a Limb. Kind of hard to when your favorite team has been Kansas. Shades of 1997 or of 2008?

The others? I quit being fancy and followed the NCAA's suggestions. There's been fewer and fewer Cinderellas making past the Sweet 16. Guess George Mason woke them up?

It was forgetfulness, but whatever.

I'm in, but really only because I already had a bracket filled out for a no-stakes family competition than none of us takes very seriously. So I don't expect to do very well...

Damn I missed one already, That million bucks for a perfect bracket is blown. I guess should maybe do two or three brackets next year to knock those one in 18 quintillion odds down a bit. ;)


yeah I know it's not a true 50:50 for each one since some teams are actually better than others, but crap that would be one hell of a hard calculation of true odds to win, not to mention it would be different for each bracket each year

And some stats, cause I'm bored.
To win it all:

Kansas 28
Kentucky 6
Syracuse 4
Duke 3
West Virginia 2
Ohio state 1
Pittsburgh 1

Very Kansas heavy, I'm a bit surprised Kentucky didn't get a bit more love, and no one went with Kansas state.

A couple of my upset specials have panned out: Murray St over Vandy and Old Dominion over Notre Dame. Sweet!

After 7 games have been updated, the SDMB group is down to 2 people that still have a shot at the million. I'm not one of them, but I did call Old Dominion over Notre Dame. I missed Murray State over Vandy, and BYU over Florida.

Kansas losing is going to hurt a lot of brackets, mine included.

Fuck, lemme check on my **formerly** 99.1% bracket on ESPN....

..yep, I've dropped down to 103,709th place...in the 97.8 percentile...

What a crazy assed tournament this has been so far!
