Last year we had a contest among the board on ESPN.com with their bracket challenge. Not sure who won last year but you can search for ESPN challenge and find it I'm sure I have set up a group called StripesRus with a password of 2003. Get registered and get your brackets filled out, I'm looking forward to defending my title.

Hey Dog, are you sure you want us blues in there? We actually call it the way it is unlike you guys in stripes that call who might have gained an advantage?" Just messin with you. I'm in. Jim

It's going to be screwed up this year, anyhow, with this BYU fiasco.

I can't believe they hosed it up so badly. The NCAA had this quiet understanding in years past to assign BYU (if they made the field) to a bracket that avoided Sunday games. Apparently, the quiet understanding was too quiet, and neither the men's nor the women's committees heard it.

So, how will the bracket pools adjust if BYU makes it through and we have this entire bracket shift? Amazing.

Clearly an attempt to break up all of the illegal gambling going on. Obviously our sport has much more integrity.

A cynic once said that a man's integrity is defined by his options.
