I’m Mr Fabulous this year. I can have a total of 50 in my group.
First come, first serve.
The password is: cecil
The 65/64 play in game is not included. Only the 64. Brackets open Sunday after the release of the list. It will all be spelled out on the site.
Disclaimer: No wagering! And you have to join Yahoo groups. At least it’s free.
(If it gets filled up with junk posts and jerks, I’ll have to close it and reopen a new one and mail out the new password. Please be kind to all who really want to play.)
By the way, I don’t expect OU Sooners to get in. Bad year for them. But OSU (Oklahoma State University - the only real OSU) might get a number one seed if they beat Texas in the Big XII tourney. Either way, the Big XII will be well represented. Will be interesting to see what conf gets the most in. And what bubble teams get the nod.
You can make and change your picks as often as you like, but your final picks must be submitted by five minutes before the first game tips off on Thursday, March 18. Game time TBA.
The feild will be finalized after the last conference tourney game tonight (which begins at 3:00pm CST)
Here are the automatic bids (teams already in) :

I’m in, and this year my wife is getting nowhere near this thread. She was in the top 1/10 of 1% last year on ESPN. I still sting from the humiliation. (She went on instinct alone).
