March Madness Contest?

[Billy Hoyle]

To all sports fanatics, non-sports fans and everybody in between,

March Madness is almost upon us once again. With the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament only about a week and a half away, I was wondering if anybody would be interested in getting together an online poll. ESPN's site (http://.games.espn.go.com/frontpage) does a really nice online bracket system that has an easy interface and allows for private groups. The best part is that it's free and that they offer decent prizes for those that finish with the top brackets.

I don't know how many people will be interested in this seeing as I don't know how many people here watch college basketball. The thing that's nice about the NCAA's is that anybody can win these polls due to the unpredictable nature of tournament play and the parity in college basketball these days. George Mason of last year serves as a perfect example of this. About 87 people in the entire world had them going to the Final Four. So really, anybody has a chance to win.

I think it'd be fun and would be pretty easy to set up. Think about it and give me some feedback.

I'm in regardless. I had an OK bracket last year (my boys from UCLA let me down in the finals, though). I did mine through ESPN, real easy set up.

I'm in, even though my boys in 'Cuse screwed me over last year.

Blech! How do you win the Eastern Conference Title and lose out in the first round?!?!

Count me in! Hopefully my Buckeyes won't let me down again this year

I suppose I am in, though I don't know much about college hoops. I will still win.

I hope K-State sneaks in the Dance so I can have a team to cheer for. KU can eat me.

Count me in. Good idea Dicky.
