I can't figure out how to invite newbies. Anyone else seeing it?
http://mmjforum.mayhem.cbssports.com/brackets
Are u the commish? I figure only the commish can send invites. Or post a league number and password if CBS operates like other sites.
I'm a fish. Illini all the way
First off, props to My Morning Bracket as the name. Perfecto!
2nd, Ive never signed up for anything on CBS, so I guess Ill have to do that first, but Ill sign up if someone would be so kind as to give me the password and such :)
I'm not the commish but the email they sent me made it sound like I could invite new people, I just can't find it. If no one figures this out by selection Sunday I'll start a new league for us.
I did this last year it and seemed a little complicated on CBS as far as signing up.
But I think once the brackets are announced, it's much easier to start it up.
Hopefully the process to invite new people for this can be worked out. I love bracket time and I'd like to be a part of this group!
See if this works. This is from last year's thread:

You'll have to register over there too, but it only takes a minute.

Awesome, yep that worked. Thanks, soup.
Good deal. I edited the OP. Hopefully people will be able to just sign up without us having to email an invite.
So I guess I'm still the moderator? Cause it won't let me do anything else...which is cool.
I'm still a huge fan of having ggg as the password :)

In. Thnx Guys! :)
I'm all up in dis bitch!
In
in it to win it
UNC, Wake, FSU, and UConn. That's right.
hopefully my bracket will wait a day or two to turn to shit like it did last year :-/
My picks are in; I am following my wife's lead from last year where she picked every favored team to win and if Memphis could have held their lead and beaten Kansas, she would have won (she picked Memphis b/c Douglas-Roberts' last name had our last name in it!).
I will gladly lose if Duke gets beat in the 1st round. That's what I don't like about picking, I end up rooting for my brackets rather than who I am truly for. So....
I admit I coached my wife a little on her picks this year (even though she likes Missouri's uniforms and wouldn't back down!)
Good luck suckahs!

Actually I'm taking claim for the original My Morning Bracket name, I had that trademarked back in 07 when we started it then :)

I didn't go with as many upsets this year because I don't think there will be as many upsets.
My final four is the same as the President's. 8-)

I've also got UCLA and ASU making it to the Elite Eight....we'll see how that goes...I'm almost always OVER-optimistic when it comes to the PAC-10... ::)
Rick Pitino's March Maddness upset picks (and scroll down for more coaches upsets). Lots of folks picking Cleveland St. over Wake! :-?

im in there. Dayton. I'll give you guys that sleeper pick for free
Now that the games have kicked off, I just wanted to say good luck to everyone with their teams/picks. I love this time of year!
And 'Nova is my sleeper to make a big run, talkin' Final Four run. As for first round, I like Miss. St. and Western Ky.
My homegirl gave me tix to the games at the Rose Garden this afternoon:
Gonzaga v Akron
Western Kentucky v Illinois
I don't even like baseball but I do get to leave work early!

Man I'm jealous. Have fun at the tennis matches and I hope you stay to watch the Illini barely squeak one out against the Hilltoppers ;)
Looks like we have a good mix of everyone's pick for champion, with UNC and Louisville each having about 1/3 of the picks each and the other 1/3 being a mix of other top teams.
Should be interesting :D
Did anyone even pick the Illini over WKy in the MMB?! ;D
Omar Martinez-Oil Tanker is straight gangsta
Zags vs. the WKY should be interesting

I know I have no business in here, but man, that was an awesome game!!! That WKY mascot is hysterical (and the boyleaders who spelled out letters on the floor RULE). We were rooting for the Tops the entire time in a sea of Illini. What a nail biter man. But NO BEER at the arena? Stupid NCAA. WTF?? I almost died. ;D
Dear Pittsburgh,
I hope you are well and I enjoyed watching the first round tournament games with you today, especially the ETSU game. Lets pick it up a little against OSU on Sunday so you don't screw up everyone's brackets.
Love,
Tracy
Yeah...they looked a little bit iffy today... ::)
Reports are that Lawson is due back on Saturday, too!
WVU done fuct my bracket all up...way to go Mountainqueers >:(

If I was them, Id definitely sit him. No risk of re-aggravating it that way plus another 5-6 days before he'd have to play.
I really don't think they'll need him vs. LSU, but if they do, they could always bring him in for the 2nd half.
I dont know about this multiply the seed by the round's weight scoring dealiyo....kinda weird
I just noticed it
In other news, Im up to 7th place with USC and Arizona's wins...woot woot!!! [smiley=bath.gif]
My bracket is now officially fucked. :P
my bracket somehow managed to stay alive.
i wouldn't mind if dave or brian won it all. I like who they have as the national champion ;)
in spite of the loss against siena, that was an awesome game. happy for wisconsin, too! glad for the big ten teams still in it.

Tracy, your wife dominates every year!!!
Her secret is to not watch any games all season (or post season) and base most of your picks on seeds, uniform colors and players' last names. I give her a suggestion here and there.

Well, Eric, it looks like you have this thing wrapped up!

HELLS YEA!!!!! RECOGNIZE!!!!
sorry for the excitement, i think this is the first time i've ever won a bracket i entered. go figure it's one that no money was involved in either :-/
Good job E...I'll take 5th place (as of now)..I finished ahead of Tracy so at least I got that going for me :P
I too won the only other bracket contest I did - by 1 point - and just like you it wasnt for money because the guy who set it up didnt think he'd get everyone's money in time...shucks!
QuoteGood job E...I'll take 5th place (as of now)..I finished ahead of Tracy so at least I got that going for me :P
