Color me there.......again.
I actually did pretty well last year, but lost out in the end......oh well. One of my favorite "bracket" stories is when my wife brought her pool home form the office (accounting, mostly guys) several yrs ago and asked me to fill it in as she doesn't follow college hoops. She brought her bracket back to the office and paid her $ and didn't think much of it. Well, folks started giving her "the eye" as the tourney went on and talked to her about it and she was like "what?" They knew she wasn't following the tourney much and knew even less about college hoops. Long story short, Ky and my wife won that yr, and there was a bit of "stress" as they handed her the $$$. I personally have never won one. :p |

Thanks gapper! :( Does that make me Old School? |
My losing bracket is completed.
I'm in 6 different "contests" thus far and I've had to enter my bracket in 4 times. Why can't everyone use the same software? BTW, there are apps now (iPhone is all I know about) for ESPN (BracketBound) and Yahoo (Tourney), too. |
Heck Rich, they could use the same sw and I'd still screw it up!
