I'm in as well. Although I have no idea why as I have watched exactly one half of one game this year.
Go Vermont!

I'm taking my dad (as an Xmas gift) to the games in Columbus for rounds 2/3. I would have liked the games in Pittsburgh, but I bought the tickets in December and just picked on of the two locations nearest us.

I'm in. I haven't watched any games this season aside from Tony Mitchell's debut at UNT, but I am watching old championship games in the NCAA Vault. I like my chances.

The Obama campaign has a bracket challenge too.

The one man wolfpack is in. Feel pretty good about that game I watched back in the mid-90's. Feel like it gives me a bit of an edge.
Tark is still coaching in Vegas, right?

Obama's NCAA picks are conservative. Only 1s and 2s in the Final Four.
I watched the 1976 NCAA championship game in the NCAA Vault yesterday. Undefeated Indiana vs. Michigan. Bobby Knight rocking a red plaid sportscoat. Quinn Buckner, Kent Benson, Scott May and Bobby Wilkerson leading the Hoosiers.
Benson, in addition to being a great college center, was a big reason Larry Bird left Indiana after a couple weeks. Benson hazed him unmercifully, and Bird never forgot it when he played Benson's teams in the NBA, going 7-0 against them.
How mad was Bird? "[W]hen he made the NBA, he went out of his way to embarrass Benson -- a mediocre big man for the Pistons -- at every opportunity. This culminated in Kevin McHale's 56-point game in 1985, when Bird kept feeding McHale on the low post because Benson couldn't handle him. The lesson, as always: Don't mess with Larry Bird."

Since I now live in 'Merica I did an office pool. I couldn't find a drunk monkey to throw darts, so I did it myself.
Friday busted me like everyone else. Which sucks cuz I had only one game called wrong on Thursday. Fun stuff!
