Okay gang, I created a private group over at Yahoo! for us to have our own little NCAA pool. You need a Yahoo account to participate, but that's it. There's no fee or anything. And, we'll give away some prizes to participants and the grand prize winner. Let's have some fun as we pick from the wild 65-team field in this year's March Madness fiesta!

CHOOSING YOUR NICKNAME
My nickname for my picks is "EOC TMac". If you do something similar and use your EOC member name, it will be easier for us to track and identify who is winning (or losing). Just be sure to not only pick your teams but JOIN OUR PRIVATE GROUP.

JOINING OUR PRIVATE GROUP
Our group ID # on Yahoo's game is 42896 and our password is element

Here's the link to sign up:

If you have questions, please post them as replies to this post right here. Thanks!

Im in.

Yeah, the problem we had earlier was that we were trying to use the Group NAME rather than the Group ID Number. Once we went with the number/password combo, now it works like a champ!

Enjoy! GO ILLINI!

I'm in toooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

im in..may the best man win

*edit-sunday 1114 am HST-Round 1 results
24-8 in the 1st round-not doing so good in the 2nd round though :(
Damn that Nevada...

... made my name 42896 :oops: :oops:

Do I get an extra point for that? Wait! Wrong sport :roll:

Michigan St killed me. I had Charlotte too. That was a pick of the heart, not the mind though. I did get Manhattan correct, but I think many picked that upset. Still early though. Plenty of points to be had.

Kentucky just knocked me out :(

go st. joe....haha, two #1's out...duke needs to fall to texas if texas can beat xavier...they are looking tough! No one is doing well this year on yahoo

im out, st. joes almost made it....crap!

Im still in it for Duke to win it all! They usually don't win if their women do, but now that their women are out...Go Blue Devils!

Wow, this is the first NCAA Pool that I have won! Regardless of what UConn does tomorrow, it looks like I will win our contest! That frees me up to root for the hometown Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets!

GO TECH!

:D

Congrats, Atlanta!

I'm pretty happy with third place, considering I usually am out after the first round.... But man, I thought I had it locked up, then EVERYTHING fell apart... oh well.

Again, congratulations!

Oz

congrats!

Top 5 finish-not bad for someone who never watched a whole game this season.

Congrats Atlanta - Only game I saw part of was the end of the Uconn Duke Game. I already had 2 drinks in me by the time it was over and boy did I hurt my hand when I hit the table.

LOL
:roll:
