Not sure why I've even looking at this anymore, since Wofford's out. 

Thanks.    looking to rack up big bonus with that Wofford pick?  One of the pools I entered also offered bonus on upsets, so I really went out on a limb by picking all the 9's to beat the 8's.  picked a couple of other lower seeds too, but only hit on one so far with Dayton.

Looking forward to you guys keep this thread updated.

That Duke-Mercer game was insane!

Insanely frustrating for the millions who picked Duke. Madness alright!

I heard on the radio that the ESPN bracket challenge had 11 million entrants and after Duke's loss there are only three thousand or so still perfect.  Madness indeed!!

I watched Mercer play this year, and knew they were the real deal, yet still picked Duke. Mercer will be in the sweet 16 for sure.

Too quiet in here!  How'd everybody do? If anybody had both Mercer, and SFA the next drink is on me.  

[Clarkwork]

Well, for me, as per usual, like Kramer in the masturbation contest....I'm OUT!!!

OH good lord do I SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, that was me! Except I did it in my office pool, not this one.    I also picked Harvard, and NDSU to beat the Dirtburglars! Sadly though, I had also picked Mercer to beat Michigan tonight.

Well how could you not have Dayton too?  I still have four teams alive ( Florida, Mich.St, Arizona, and Michigan, with Fla winning it all in one, and Zona in the other) so not out of my pool yet, but nowhere near as many points as last year.  Who's winning the Jacket pool?

I rely on my stupid spreadsheet rating system to make my picks for me, and it didn't think Dayton had a chance. It did well in the first round, but after last night, the whole thing fell apart.

Surprise, surprise, Scotty's two brackets are leading, and if I read the scoring system right, it looks like he's got it locked up. Which reminds me that I need to give him my damn money.

Hi Kids!  Where is Scotty?  Are we gonna do this thing? Or is everyone too frenzied with the ticket sales?  I'm ready for another epic failure bracket!

[Jackets N Pones]

Count me in if this happens please.

[walterfredo]

the only time all year I gamble, if you can call it that.  I'm in.

[Clarkwork]

I'm in :).

[Jackets N Pones]

Who normally sets this up?

[Bulldog]

And more importantly for us newer folks,

How does it work?

[ericm]

Scotty usually set up the challenge. I believe he did it through Yahoo, and then gave out the invite to the group. I think it was $10 per bracket.

Definitely a lot of fun, and I'm in if he sets it up again. 

[tdb810]

I just sent Scotty an email, linking him back to this thread.  Here's hoping he sets it up for us again!
