There’s only one time each year that I give the slightest notice to college basketball. As such, my sorry ass always loses any tournament brackets I enter, having no more information than the rankings given to the teams, and maybe how funny looking their mascots are. But I still have a blast. I’m in! ---

I am bumping both of these bracket threads to give people one last chance to join. I will have to join this one when I get home. Can’t access it from work. ---

This is about the 5th or 6th I have done. Nothing but a bunch of guesses, I might get lucky in one. ---

[QUOTE=racer72] Nothing but a bunch of guesses, I might get lucky in one. [/QUOTE] Same here. I loosely follow the Knicks and Nets, but I’m pretty sure I’ve never watched a college game. So obviously, I fully expect to win it all. ---

I’m in as “I’m not a ringer…,” which I’m really not. I’m in five different pools this year, none of them the same - and since a lot of my picks contradict each other, they can’t all be right and I figure I should be able to just enjoy the tournament. ---
