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.
I joined.
Yes, you can. I must have had about 100 Yahoo e-mails the last couple years.
I’m in. Just finished my picks.

Go Dawgs!
Oh, that’s helpful. It’s 'cause I have a Mac, isn’t it? Goddamn Yahoo web doofuses. [sub]Please excuse me, I have a Pit thread brewing in my head…[/sub]
[sub]Oh yeah, Duke sucketh. Go Heels![/sub]
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.
Group ID# 65185
Group Name Straight Dope II
Group Password coldfire
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.
Who’s going to be the Cinderella team this year?
iow:
What low seeded team will go the furthest?
This is going to be all kinds of fun!!
Go Bearcats!!
I’m in. Great idea.
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.
Go Lehigh!!! 
I’m in. See sig for my top choice :).
I’m in.
Looks like room for about 10 more.
GO JACKETS! To Hell With Georgia!
If it fills up, look for the second spoiler box on page 1 for the Straight Dope II group.
As for this:
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.
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? 
Ah, trust the NCAAs to bring me out of lurk mode…
Monkeys with Darts, is all I’m saying.
