The start of the first game on Thursday is 12:20 with (5) Florida vs. (12) Manhattan in the **EAST** region. None of this East Rutherford crap, it will always be the East region. [Yahoo’s NCAA Schedule](http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/scoreboard?d=2004-03-18&c=all&refresh=60) ---

Good. Even after giving me that message some 15 times, Yahoo sent me email that I was registered after all. I swear that site is run by drunken chimpanzees. Anyway, the **Ridiculous Prop** stands ready to beat you all with its special blend of randomly chosen teams. ---

I’ve been having problems all night, myself. I betcha those Yahoos are pretty busy tonight, what with it being the first day after the selections. Took me forever to get Yahoo to accept this: We’re getting up there in members, so I made an additional group. Sign up there if you missed the first 50.

We have 33 right now in Group I. You can start on Group II at any time. High score of either group will be overall winner. ---

Heh, I guess they _would_ be a mite busy tonight, eh? I guess I’ll forgive them for it. I have prior issues with them over streaming audio only working on IE for Mac. But, like I say, that’s a matter for a forthcoming Pit thread. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Who’s going to be the Cinderella team this year? > > iow: > > What low seeded team will go the furthest? I’ve got 2 cinderellas to make the sweet sixteen. A 11 and a 12 both in the same regional but neither making it any further. Besides those 2, I’ve got nothing lower than a 6 making it that far. It shouldn’t be too hard to figure out who my Cinderellas are. ---

If it fills up, look for the second spoiler box on page 1 for the Straight Dope II group. As for this: > [@Kid\_A](#): > > The start of the first game on Thursday is 12:20 with (5) Florida vs. (12) Manhattan in the **EAST** region. > > None of this East Rutherford crap, it will always be the East region. > > [Yahoo’s NCAA Schedule](http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaab/scoreboard?d=2004-03-18&c=all&refresh=60) You West Coasters realise that this means your brackets must be done by 9:15am Thursday. Mountain Time, 10:15. Central, 11:15. East, 12:15. Brackets will be locked 5 minutes before tip off of the first game. Anyone know why the geographic tags are missing this year? Odd. ---

I’m in and filled out. UK Rocks. May Christian Laettner die in some slow and lingering way. . . preferrably involving a colostomy bag and an air compressor. ---

> [@NoClueBoy](#): > > Anyone know why the geographic tags are missing this year? Odd. The great minds of the NCAA tournament committee decided to name the regionals after the host towns this year. Brilliant. :rolleyes: Maybe they get getting some “Martha Stewart” business on the side? 🙂 ---
