Michigan will meet Duke in the Final Four and the winner of that game will decide where I go for my MBA.

Not really, but that would be kind of neat :rotate

I'm in! I'm a HUGE college basketball fan. I've joined the group but for some reason my laptop is being odd and won't let me pick teams when I try to edit my choices so right now I just had Yahoo overwrite with popular picks for now. But, I will warn you all...I've been in my dad's (all-male) office pool for years and usually get first or second. ;) If you know where I went to undergrad, you'd understand!



Site is working again, ElleBee. Welcome to the pool :-D


Thanks, Nink! I just put in my picks. I love this time of year!

Of course, you're olive after all.

Jk, the start of the tournament is thursday. So you can join anytime between now until 15 minutes before the first game on Thursday.

Sounds like fun. Though I usually am pretty into college bball (as much as someone who went to a D3 school undergrad can be) living abroad the past 2 years has rendered my college hoop knowledge to about the same level as the elderly office secretary who usually fills out the bracket based on which schools have the prettiest uniforms.

Translation: You guys are all done for.

Nink, could you kindly explain what is asked in this game?
Predict winners for every possible game? Only the final 4? Only the ultimate winner?

Sorry, not a college sports follower.

Well, after you sign up through Yahoo page and make all your picks for your predicted winner from Team of 64 all the way to Finals, each round gets scored automatically and whoever aggregates the most points in the tournament wins.

So you have to predict winner for every possible game before the tournament starts. :-D

1) Once you sign up, go to main page. Click your bracket name. In my case - it's "nink"

Their record this year aghainst Top 25 teams are most impressive, not to mention their defense and offense are both superb.

It doesn't hurt that their coach won it all before.
