This is the kind of fantasy game I can do these days. Low time investment and damn fun to watch. Anyone have any picking forms that go well with message board posting? The typical 64 team pool pages don't translate easily. If not I guess we could just post 32 teams, 16, 8, 4, 2 and the winner.

or we could start a Yahoo, ESPN, CBS, whatever, group, announce it here and fill it up.

Good idea. ESPN seemed like a safe bet, so I set us up on there. Here's the info to join.

and my bracket blows. G'town going down killed one of my final four. I missed seven of the 16 left. I picked the wrong damn upsets, again.

I also had G'Town in the final four so that hurt my bracket. Luckily I had Duke losing in the sweet 16 so that one wasnt as bad.

Picking Georgetown to get past Wisconsin was just foolishness anyway.

I am going to the Midwest games on Friday and Sunday. I really was hoping to see either Mayo or Beasley in person; however, I will definitely settle for Curry.

I can see Davidson beating Wisconsin- Wisconsin is as good a defensive team as Georgetown, and Davidson has hung tough against some great competition in the pre-conference this year (UNC, Duke, and I think they also played another top 5-10 program). And Curry is the real deal- father was a former NBA player, he is a fantastic range shooter with a quick release, and can shoot lights out. He could carry this team all the way to the Final Four...

However, I do see a Kansas-Davidson match up on Sunday, with Kansas moving on due to sheer talent and depth. Either way, I am excited to go!

I'm bringing up the rear nicely thanks to my USC final four pick and over-enthusiasm for the PAC-10 in general.

UCLA/Texas A&M game gave me a heart attack.

Davidson/Gtown, Stanford/Marquette, and Duke/Belmont were probably the most exciting of the games I've watched so far.

I'd add Drake/Western Kentucky to the exciting list.

Davidson's Stephen Curry is putting on a clinic. He's already scored 103 points in this tourney which is only 5 points off of the most points ever scored in one tourney since 1985

Yesterday was one of the most exciting, thrilling college basketball games I have ever seen live. The entire Ford Field, except for the Kansas section, was completely behind Davidson. And Davidson had everything they could ask for- ball in hand, last shot to win the game. Unfortunately they came up short. Why Curry brought the ball up I was curious about, I thought they would have their point guard (#2) bring it up and then the rest of the team set screens for Curry, or use Curry as a decoy and have that #24 who was 3 of 3 for three point shots take the final shot.

Was such a great game. Now we see the first time ever that all four number one seeds advance to the Final Four, should be a talented match up!

UNC down!

rock chalk!

kansas won. does anybody care? not me

Yet you care enough to post about it.

It was a great game.

I don't know, I've always enjoyed watching teams choke away championships

not a Kansas fan but it was a great game, but I do LOVE watching choke artists perform

guess I'm perverse that way.

Roy Williams couldn't even be bothered to buy a KU shirt before going to the game. At least he wore a sticker I guess.

I see lots of people that care

I meant here. I think college sports are dumb in general but I know a lot of people like it here, bbut didn't see any reactionary posts. Just wondered if anyone cared.

It was for sure in the top 3 days in my life.

The bar I have been a usual at since 2005 is on Mass St, 2 blocks towards the river from where that guy is filming.

The bars opened at 9 am on Monday, I got there at 10:15 and there was a line.

I have never seen such chaos and elation as there was after the game. Cops holding beer bongs for people, fireworks going off everywhere, people of all ages celebrating. It was something special to be part of.
