Just want to see who’d be interested. We could set it up tonight.
Yeah, sure, what the hell. How do you envision setting it up?
I’m sure Yahoo! will have something set up that we could use, instead of forcing someone to keep track of all that crap.
Yahoo, ESPN and CNN/SI, just to name 3, have NCAA tournament pools. We could create an SDMB user only [private] account and put the password in this thread.
I’d be in.
OK, on Yahoo:

Count me in! Last year’s poor showing was the result of too much pilsner prior to picking. However, this year…I’m bringing out the good stuff. Beware!
I’m in. My Renobs had a good showing last year, but we are looking to move up.
Got a pretty risky bracket though. Got #2 Oregon gone in the second round, Gonzaga going to the Elite 8.
Speaking of which…Should the Zags have been a #6 seed? They are #6 in the freaking NATION. How much ass do you want them to beat before they get some freaking respect!
Do we really need a pool? We already know that Duke’s gonna win. Of course that’s not a native, born and bred North Carolina girl posting this either.
Does anyone know if you can sign up for two or more pools on Yahoo, or should I just use another account?
I’ll just have to show everyone up like I did last year (up until the final 2 rounds…) Anyways I’m Tiki.
And yes Gonzaga should have been at the very least a #3 or #4 seed but it isn’t going to bother them any. Seems like it’s never really bothered them what they were seeded that last couple of years they just like to show people up.
I’m even…even if Syracuse ain’t!
I’m even??? What the hell does that mean?
I’m “in”, thank you very much.
I am sort of a newbie/lurker but I hope you don’t mind me joining in.
Now you guys are in for it. My ability to pick winners during March Madness is only surpassed by my ability to do confidence picks in NFL football.
Oh Crap, I finished 7th in the NFL Pick 'Em…
Oh Well. I just have to add:
Ring out a hoya for M.U. rah rah…
M.U. Rah Rah!!!
We Are
Marquette!!!
Well, I’m in. Nothing like having to pick a team you hate to win it all, but I did. Damn it.
I’ve got some interesting early-round upsets (UCLA making Elite Eight after zonking Cincy and OSU, for example), but my Final Four is pretty boring–1 Seeds Kansas, Maryland, and Duke, and 2 Seed Oklahoma. Kansas all the way! You can’t stop that scoring juggernaut (unless you’re Oklahoma, but you can’t do it TWICE in one month).
I’ve also entered the Kinko’s $10,000,000 challenge at cbs.sportsline.com. Once I win that, I’ll be sure to kick a little back to you peons.
I’m still trying to decide whether McNeese State is capable of taking out Kansas in the Elite Eight, though I think Maryland would be too much for the McNeese Cowboys to handle in the Final Four.
Hey, y’all. I don’t like Yahoo’s method of scoring the brackets (1-2-4-8-16-32) because it places too much emphasis on the later rounds, so I’ve gone ahead and created another pool that people are welcome to join. This way you can hedge your bets on those upset specials.
It’s at Tourney Time , and the scoring is 1-2-3-4-5-6. The group name is SDMB, and the password is “ceciladams.”
Hope to see everyone there!
I’m in. Hopfully, I can get three wins in a row on three different acounts. Two years ago, I won on a pool at CnnSI, last year, a pool at ESPN, and now Yahoo!, maybe.
