Where do we send the loot?

I can just give you all my PayPal info if you want to save time.

We could do it 1 of 2 ways. Either everybody just paypals/sends a check to the winner when its over. Or we all send our $ to one person in the pool (I dont want to put somebody in that position, but Crispy seems good with money and calculations so he gets my vote if hes willing :)) and they can just paypal/check the whole amount to the winner. Since we have over 3 weeks until its done to basically allow 1 person to collect the $, the 2nd option probably makes more sense plus itll be much easier for the victor to receive his copious fundage by going that route.

I vote for option 2.

I'm in for $10!!! I watched maybe a total of one college basketball game all year. I have no clue who's number 1 or 2 in the nation. I haven't picked my teams yet. Yes, I'm that person who knows nothing about college basketball but will win the bracket. I'm Patty from accounting.

I just finished my bracket. It took me 1 minute, and I took every number one seed. Hate on me!!! But get ready to pay me!!!!11!!!!!!

Is this you Headdy?

I'm pondering whether I should get in on this pool. If I do choose to join, I'm only using Canuck bucks. The good news is, Cdn money is worth more than your Yankee greenback, so if my Sir John A. MacDonald is good, I want in. BTW, I'm no fool: my Orange to the Elite 8, but they easily could go out in the "2nd round". I'm cheering for Texas (two of their best players are from Toronto), Syracuse (my fav team since 1980 - and a fav of most of the residents from my hometown of Kingston, Ontario, which is less than 2 hrs away) and Gonzaga (two key starters are Canucks, plus I've always kinda liked the Zags).

Come on in, Jaimoe.

Jim Rome's Take on "Bracket Guy"

;D Rome's takes on these things are always great. I was cracking up a couple weeks ago when he was ripping on jousting becoming a big sport.

Nah, Im not hardcore like bracket guy, though I have watched more college bball this year than I have in quite awhile, so Im pretty pumped for the tourney to start tomorrow. This tourney seems so wide open, anything can happen. Shame on you for taking all 1 seeds. If you win, Im mailing you $15 in quarters!!

capt. scotty · Mar 16, 2011, 11:51 AM

I just threw Crispy's name out there (sorry dude). He'd have to, kind of, like, agree to do it if were going to go that route, ya dig.

walterfredo · Mar 16, 2011, 12:13 PM

Flyguy seemed ok with handling the money, let's let him do it.

Ah, I didn't see this earlier -- I'd be cool with handling the money via paypal, but flyguy said he'd do it, so let's go with him.

Oh, sorry guys! I was trying to be cute by just telling you guys to all send me your money since I was going to win. I obviously need to work on my trash talking. :-\

It's all yours Crispy!!!

Oh I gotcha alright.. I may have even been briefly intimidated. More than anything, it was real cute. :-*

Roll of quarters is tied to a pigeon en route to Oklahoma as I type. Thanks Crispy!

Okay folks, my gmail is visible in my profile, that's where to send your paypal goodness. I guess the Tenth Avenue Ten can vouch for me in this area. Don't wait 'til Championship weekend, Scotty... ;)

Edit: Jaimoe, looks like you can get in for $9.85 CAD right now...

I'll try to get things going later tonight. Heck, I'll throw in 15 cents as a tip. If not tonight, I'll be getting up early tomorrow and try to get my bracket together before the first tip.

I figured winner takes all...If we get at least 15 people maybe $120 for winner, $30 for 2nd place. We might have pretty close to 15 but I havent looked at it in a couple days
