I bet I finish in the bottom 5 again...anyone wanna take that bet?...

i'd probably take that bet if you said you'd finish in the bottom 2.

now that it is march, i'm going to be starting up the pool again. Unless i'm mistaken, the 5th of march is selection sunday, which means the first official game of our pool will begin the next thursday, the 10th. this is when all the completed brackets and entry money must be turned in.

For a full breakdown of all the rules, follow this link - March Madness Pool Rules

I believe, although I haven't decided on this yet, I will be accepting payment through paypal this year. Because of paypal's fees and whatnot, I will probably require an additional 50 cents per entry fee. this will cover my costs. i doubt anyone will use it, as either I or one of my brothers will see everyone who will enter the pool.

You can post here with any questions or comments.

I don't think I'm gonna this year. I suck.

but you beat five people last year, and almost beat me....you beat wes and kirk both.

you've got to enter....if nothing else, you can turn in a bracket with no money....(of course, you would not be eligible for prize money if you did have a good year)

i will be updating my website with the most recent information this evening..

I'm still undecided if i'm going to allow people to login and setup their own brackets....i will still have to have the money, or have the money in a trusted friends hand by tipoff thursday.

i will be including at least two or three different brackets in different formats for download and printing by saturday evening (after the brackets have been determined)

i'll probably been in little rock/north little rock on tuesday evening so i will be able to pickup brackets, money and anything else while i'm in town. anyone who is interested, i will be contacting by at least tuesday.

I have updated the March Madness page on my website. it contains the most recent information, as well as links to several sources to download and/or print out a bracket.

I'll post updated scores at the top of the page as games are completed starting Thursday morning.

We are in full swing. I've got cable run into my office temporarily so I will be able to watch every game as it happens (as long as cbs is showing it)

Games start in 58 minutes....
