STOP DOING HEROIN
The one thread on the forums where people care about your bracket (sort of).

Once again, we're doing a goon bracket on Yahoo and I'm bringing back the group we did last year. Here's the information you need to know.

Group ID: 118257

Password: fuckduke



You can also use this thread to discuss other brackets you're in, along with whatever amount of money you're probably going to piss away.


Good luck, and gently caress Duke.

I think this is the first year that I've picked a play-in team to advance past the first round and that team actually won their play-in game. I guess you technically get both teams when you pick them to advance, but still, it was always a bad sign.

I run a bracket for all my friends with a prize at the end. Every year I pick Iowa state to win it all.

Came in second a few times though lol

Note that if you put Texas any deeper than the Sweet 16, if that far, then you are either insane or stupid, or both.


*puts Texas in four Elite Eights, three Final Fours, and one national championship*

I'd make an ESPN group, but I don't think there would be enough time for people to join it before the first game starts.

What's the benefit of an ESPN group?

edit: asking seriously, not being an rear end in a top hat. I don't ever bother with national contests since I know I won't win anything.

I use ESPN and consider it better than the yahoo format. More user friendly. Yahoo isn't bad, just I like espn better.

No one will guess which bracket is mine though.

I just put in my horrendous bracket. After all these years I've decided to just give up on trying and just go with my first choice every time. Doesn't really make a difference anyways because 99% of the brackets are trashed after the first 2 days!

7-1 so far. Have a bracket in the 99 percentile on ESPN. Unfortunately it isn't one of the brackets where Hawaii upsets Cal.

I thought purdue looked like the 2nd best big 10 team after Michigan State, maybe the committee was right under seeding the whole big 10 this year

Its the only loss on my bracket so far (although witchita st is about to make it 2). I picked the yale upset correctly

12 of 16 for me after day one. Biggest misses were Purdue and Seton Hall (had both in Sweet 16) but otherwise I'm in pretty good shape. I actually had Yale winning, too.

P good day for me too. 14/16. drat baylor really put a dent in my bracket though. The other miss was seton hall and I'm cool with that- it was a toss up IMO.

Apparently, looking back at my bracket, I did. poo poo.

11 for 16 is pretty meh, but I don't really care because of beautiful upsets and only one team in my Sweet Sixteen is out.
