Anyone up for a pool for conference board bragging rights? I'll be happy to start one on ESPN if there is interest, I'll just leave the link here, use your handles for Bracket names if possible.

I think I still have the belt from the last one I recall doing here when UL won.

I'm in.

In and ready to go!

That belt needs an extender

It's a sans a belt

NM. Found it

OK, not expecting much and if I win, I won't get applauded for out-of-the-box picks. Mostly boring chalk w/ a few chicklets thrown in. Junior mints?

Doing something different this year....

Just got back from a fantasy league draft of players involved in the tourney. 15 guys drafted 15 players each - took 2.5 hours. Not bad for me. Picked 6th but was able to get Malik Monk, Bonzie Colson, Edrice Adebayo, and Jacob Evans as my first four.

Most of the guys are definitely not believers in the Bearcats. UCLA's top four went in the first two rounds.

Definitely, I did something similar with some friends I've picked up along the way during the college football season. Abnormal rosters, Power 5 Conference players plus two G5 players in a college football fantasy league...definitely a lot more fun that the pro side of things.

I'm in a pool where you pick 5 teams and their total seed #s must equal at least 28. Gain points based on how far the 5 advance.

Solidly just average day for me. I'm even behind Billy.

And of course, Senior parlays his consistent domination of the prediction threads here into a Day 1 lead

The 2 pick em 8/9 and 7/10 hurt me. 4 losses on the first day is a record for me. At least none of the losses were slated to win the next round.

I noticed that I am the only one to have picked UK to win the entire thing. I feel like I need a bath.

I've only missed 2 so far which is pretty good for me. I should have went with Eggzavier.

I am 20/20. Haven't missed a pick yet. Have a bad feeling picking Cincinnati will be an incorrect one for me..

This is the best start I've ever had. Last night going 16/16 has never happened for me..

Ive missed two so far-

Had Maryland over XU and Vermont over Purdue.

Hey, I'm winning! Sorry - had to gloat while I could. True to form, I'll finish near the bottom of the heap.
