1,000 bonus alpacas go to the winner.

So do I get 1,000 alpacas when I win?

Do I have to play to win? Can I just think about it? Ah, fuck that. Can I just say "I'm in" and you just put 1000 alpacas into my account? Thanks in advance.

LOL @ the password.

Epic irony if Bukdow wins.

I need to get back on track. The last two years I sucked hardcore.

Only Greg and I signed up and they closed the brackets before I even got a chance to fill mine out.

Looks like Greg deleted his entry now.

epic fail

Someone else can try again, or I might if I have time later today.

how are they closed already?

I'm guessing because of the "play-in" game last night, which is really stupid.

well, i can't even see my bracket in the other league I'm in

EDIT - just checked and it's there. It says the deadline on yahoo is Thursday before the first game is started.

They must have screwed up somewhere and fixed it.

Well, the brackets are back up, so let's give this another try.

No bonus alpacas will be on the line unless we get at least 5 participants.

I think we have about 3 hours to get signed up.

What a clusterfuck.

I'm feeling pretty good about my picks. I think I actually have a shot at this.

I'm leery of the Midwest picks. Wake could make a run or bow out early (youngest team). Lousiville has been overlooked all year, for good reason? Can MSU gel despite all the players they've missed?

I always like my chances, but that region was hard to pick.

Honestly, the best way to do your bracket is to either have your girlfriend pick based off of colors, or your sister to pick based off cute mascots. Last year my sister got 98% right with mascots...

I'm feeling really good, even though I probably watched the sum total of 1 complete college game on TV this year.

It would help if I actually cared, I bet.

The toonamint is always fun, though.

I'm feeling pretty good about my picks. I think I actually have a shot at this.

lol, I honestly made that post as a joke because I thought that I was the only one entered.

I just figured out how to see the rest of the group and was surprised to see that we have 9 members in.

Yahoo! must have changed the way that they do this, I don't remember being this confused in the past. Maybe I'm just old.

Glad we have 9 at least, though.

I did mine in about 5 minutes. I think I changed two picks though this morning after thinking about them (which means I'll get those two wrong). They weren't major picks, but it often comes down to those first couple rounds.

My picks are rock solid I would be shocked if I get any wrong.

I took all of about a minute on mine, which is usually better for me than when I take time to do it.

Ah, a delightful 3-0 start.

I missed on A&M (I could have gone either way on that one).

Random that those two teams faced each other last year in the 8 vs 9 matchup. Frankly I think that stinks. They should have been placed in different brackets this year.

4-0, and likely 5-0, but Cal is looking like my first loss.

I haven't done the bracket on the net. This is too friggin easy...not winning but picking, etc, no scoring involved.

These computer gadgets with the internets have promise.

My picks are horrible. I don't like 1/2 of my Final Four, but matchup by matchup it seemed right.
I might set an all-time record for fewest points awarded to someone who took it seriously.

I'm loving that gusman is in the group.

I'm going to need Boston College to beat MSU or this could get ugly.

The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers are makin some noise. Up 10ish on Illinois

We'll I stink. At least I'm the only one with Memphis, so if they win starting slow won't matter.

At least you've got a lot of alpacas.

for now.

I have Michigan upsetting Oklahoma tomorrow.

I should've checked my bias at the door before I did this thing.

I'll call Blake Griffin with 40/20 tomorrow. Maybe just let him go off and guard the other four guys.

Who's this Glenn guy that winning? You're going to be setting pretty if MSU wins like you have doing.

I agree, Griffin should have his way with UM tomorrow. I remember when Michigan played uCONN, they could not stop Thabeet whenever he got touches in the paint.

20/20 is a good bet for Blake Griffin.

I suspect we'll see alot of Zack Gibson tomorrow, since DeShawn Sims may find himself in foul trouble trying to keep Griffin modest.

So, how's it going?

^ I think you're in 5th or 10th.

Actually, if Pitt loses here, I might go from 1 to 10.

I have never really doubted my Panthers though, well, I did have MSU beating them for the championship due to The Izzo Advantage for a brief time last week, but I quickly switched that back.

Pitt has been #1 in my projected brackets for almost two months now.

A MSU loss would help me out a lil bit.

You would NEVER...would you?

In a NY second

I'd update y'all on the standings, but it might seem like boasting.

My hold on 1st place is tenuous, at best.

I'm DONE. thanks Memphis!

I'm a lil new to the computer thing and the 'possible points' other than to say that having a lot of possible points is prolly a good thing.

I haven't looked at the senario generator, but I'd have to have Mizzou and OKlahoma win now I think to have a chance (along with MSU). even then I'm probably still DONE.

Checked out the senario generator and the only way I can win this thing is Mizzou all the way over UNC. LOL

<--------- DONE.

I've got 4 more correct picks than the dude in first, but I'm sitting here with nothing but m'dick in my hand.

I'm done now. impossible to win.

that's what I get for going outside the box.

Wish I had entered my bracket in more than one tournament. It's destroying everyone right now.

3 for 3 so far in final 4 picks. If Oklahoma wins I'm going to be really pissed that I didn't enter more leagues.

Looks like it's D's Nuts to lose.

Although, if Villanova beats MSU for the tite, he and I tie, lol.

500 each?

HA, burn on all of you!!!! Gimme my alpacas NOW

Fuck that, I got you right where I want you. Over confident.

:joking:

MSU wins = D's Nuts
NC wins= gusman

1,000 alpacas on the line

GUSMAN'S BRACKET WAS BETTER THAN YOURS

DEAL WITH IT

3rd place isn't too bad when you consider I picked Wake Forest to play in the championship game and they lost in the first round.
