I found a couple more sites with this [Yahoo! search](http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=sports+gambling+college+basketball+picks).

My goal - 1000 posts before March 20th.  
Help me out by starting topics suited to my abilities. Sports, money, politics, random things that require a funny yet totally pointless post.

You can make a difference in my post count.

Hardcore, you bastard! You had to slam the Ducks four times!  
Yeah, ok the boys suck ass, but the Duck Women are gonna kick ass in the women’s games. So there. Girls are better anyway.  
Used to attend IU, and it’s just not a real game unless someone starts throwing chairs around, you know?

Well, I’m signed up for the the league. I was pretty ballsy so we’ll see how I come out. I hope the Big Ten holds up their end of the bargain.
