Hey you did better than me last year, because I was literally in last place. Like, last last place. lol ;)

[Melanie]

Hey you did better than me last year, because I was literally in last place. Like, last last place. lol ;)

And your other half won? ;)

[Scar]

Like, last last place. lol ;)If it makes you feel any better, that's just as hard to do as winning. :number1:

[TinkerbellT421]

And your other half won? ;)
That he did, and I never lived that down. Including rubbing in the fact that HE got an Intercot shirt. Which he may have even included a "nah nah nah nah **stick out tongue**" the day he wore it in Disney.


If it makes you feel any better, that's just as hard to do as winning. :number1:

This is true, I worked really hard for that. ;) :thumbsup:

[JenniferP]

All done!

I always pick which name sounds nicer when choosing between teams I am unsure of! :D

That being said, I am prepared to lose!

[ANG]

I'm entered as ANG, DVCANG

[Keneva]

I'm in but I couldn't find Kentucky or UConn as options. There must be an error in the brackets.....:shrug:

[DakandZakMom]

I'm in. Even though I have no idea what I am doing.:blush:

[Mickey'sIrishPAl]

That usually means you'll win. :thumbsup:

[DizneyFreak2002]

Wow... just wow... Two bracket busting upsets with Harvard and Florida-Gulf Coast... Slowly my round of 16 and 8 are getting decimated...

[TinkerbellT421]

I hate march madness. :-o

[PirateLover]

Just saw a headline that there is not a single perfect bracket left on espn.com! Crazy.

[Hammer]

Just saw a headline that there is not a single perfect bracket left on espn.com! Crazy.

But Maryanne, your alma mater LaSalle is still dancing. That has to count for something!

While I picked some of the upsets (LaSalle, Ole Miss) and I know a couple of people who have seen a bunch of Ivy League games that picked Harvard (I should have listened to them) but who would have picked Florida Gulf Coast? I'm not sure even an alumnus would have picked them to beat Georgetown :D !

[PirateLover]

But Maryanne, your alma mater LaSalle is still dancing. That has to count for something!


Ha, of course! I'm loving it!
I personally have never filled out a bracket, which is funny because I love sports and used to help my big bro go through them all back in the 90s when he ran a pool in high school:secret: I just don't follow it closely enough to feel comfortable. But I was shocked that out of 8.15 million brackets filled out, not a one retains a perfect bracket.

I used to follow Temple very closely. I only pay attention though when a local team is involved in March Madness. Today was a crazy day with Temple AND La Salle taking it to the wire. Fight on Explorers! La Salle is not only my Alma Mater but I am in a Grad program there, too. The whole community is so stoked to be in the mix after 21 years. :thumbsup:

[joonyer]

wow! everybody's bracket is busted.. At least my final 4 picks are still alive. so far.

[dolphinsfan203]

Lets go louisville and Florida!! If Louisville wins it all ill win it all! :party:

[DizneyFreak2002]

Wow.. Poor Kevin Ware... Did not need to see that injury on my TV... Brutal injury... And did they need to keep showing the replay?

[John]

So, how many of you actually have a shot of winning this? I'm totally out for the first time in years...

[Nascfan]

Not me. Mine was shredded when Gonzaga and Indiana went down and Michigan kept winning. Oh well.

[DizneyFreak2002]

So, how many of you actually have a shot of winning this? I'm totally out for the first time in years...

Well, if my math is correct, if Louisville wins Saturday and then Monday night, I can move into first... I can still earn another 480 points... I currently sit in 4th, tied with fuzzy, 10 points behind Ian.. Louisville wins tomorrow and then the national championship, I don't think anyone could catch me at that point... Ian is the only one ahead of me who can still earn points...

[DizneyFreak2002]

Phew... got the Louisville win... Now to wait to see if Syracuse wins.. If so, Ian moves ahead into first until at least Monday night... If Syracuse loses, I believe I'll stay in first and then CaptainSad and Jeff move into a tie for 2nd if Louisville wins on Monday...

Someone please correct me if I am wrong..

[CaptainSad]

Yea:mickey:.. I get another shirt.. 2nd time.... Congrats to the winners....

[barnaby]

Congrats to the winners
I am impressed with myself :D. I finished tied for 7th and didn't watch a single college b-ball or follow the season until the tourney.

[Melanie]

Yea:mickey:.. I get another shirt.. 2nd time.... Congrats to the winners....

:thumbsup: :cheer:

[SBETigg]

I usually brush up and try to learn about team's strengths and weaknesses before I choose my bracket. This time, I was in WDW so I just randomly picked without knowing much. And I did about as well as I normally do. Figures.

Yay for the winners! Congratulations!

[DizneyFreak2002]

So, basketball is not my sport... I am a baseball, football, hockey kind of guy... I'll follow college basketball a little (mostly during the NCAA tournament, other than following the college I went to), and barely, if at all, do I follow the NBA...

Yesterday morning I find out I won my fantasy basketball league, finishing in first place during the regular season and running over everyone in the playoffs in route to the league championship... And last night cemented me taking first place in Intercot's bracket challenge... Go figure right? I cannot even come close to winning the sports I do follow but I wind up winning in basketball... Weird how things go sometimes...

Congratulations to not only the winners but to everyone who participated... These four weekends were fun, watching the standings change every game, trying to figure out who has the best chance of taking first place over all and finishing in the top 3... Looking forward to next year!

John PM coming shortly... :)

[Melanie]

Congrats Freak! :thumbsup:

[DisneyDINK]

Congrats Freak! :thumbsup:

Yep, well done! :mickey:

Remember Fantasy football is only 4 months away. But it's not like you'd want to obsess about it year 'round, like...

[DizneyFreak2002]

Congrats Freak! :thumbsup:

[TinkerbellT421]

[DizneyFreak2002]

Admit, you enjoyed the madness... :D

[TinkerbellT421]

Admit, you enjoyed the madness... :D

It's a love hate relationship. I don't follow it during the regular season but absolutely love it during march madness. :mickey:

[SBETigg]

How about those UConn women, huh? :D
