I know we aren't known to dabble in other sports here on "the Gridiron".  I like to keep things around here focused on the task at hand.  However, as I explained in "the Bleachers", I thought sanctioning an NCAA Hoops challenge here on "the Gridiron", given it's popularity and short duration, would be cool and not inappropriate.  It's a way for us to have a little fun together in March, the deadest of the dead of the NFL offseason.
 
...
 
So, without further ado, who's in?
 
Crash should have information up on how to sign-up over at Yahoo soon!  Keep on the lookout!
 
...
 
Oh, yea, and I'm in and ready to kick some Gridironer butt!

Oh yeah!  St. Joe's got a #1 seed and a bracket that they can succeed in!  Glad to see the seeding committee did their homework.
 
Now what's the deal with Billy Packer?  The Hawks just accomplished something amazing by getting a number one seed, the student body, and most of the Philadelphia region (Villanova excluded) is euphoric, and Billy Packer has to rain on their parade...?  He sounded like he was personally hurt by the fact that the Hawk was seeded number one over a bigger program.  Geez, get over it already.  Like Dickie V. said it would be great to see St. Joe's and Gonzaga battle it out for the National Championship, but they'll have to settle for a battle in the final four.

Congrats to the Hawks.  But seeding means very little in college hoops.  Now they have to prove they belong among the elite.  BTW I hate Billy Packer & he makes everyone watching uncomfortable.  I think Bill Raftery is far more entertaining & just as informative.  If we're doing a gridiron pool on yahoo I don't wanna give away my picks prior to the tourney tip off so I'll hold off on that.  
 
I think the committee did a better job than usual, but there were some questionable seeds.  Wisc a 6?  The chairman flat out said they couldn't use the Big Ten Title game in their decision b/c of time constraints. lol Imagine if that's the system being utilized in MLB?  My Red Sox would be in the World Series.  
 
Ah who am I kidding.  The curse will always live on.  Okay I'm veering off the subject I know.  But I think what the committee clearly did to "save their ass" was give WI home court in Milwaukee which in turn screws Pitt the most of all. The Panthers went from a potential #1 to a #3 on the road to a school that went UNDEFEATED at home.  They have 10 guys working on these brackets.  You mean to tell me they couldn't come up with multiple brackets that would reflect different scenarios?  
 
I have no life & I came up with projections of my own.  I had 63 of 65.  The only big differences were Maryland getting such a high seed & the previously mentioned Wisc gettting such a low seed.  The only school with a legitimate gripe to be in the tourney was Utah St.

Don't know why, but I am having trouble. It keeps rejecting my team name. I  will try a few more times. If it don't work, I won't try again.

I agree with you on that BW.  But St. Joe's should make it to the Elite 8 or the Sweet Sixteen at the very least.

I'm in also & in case anyone didnt know I'm the Waltham Wackers  I love the potential for at least 2 ACC schools getting to the Final 4.  I'm also high on Conf USA & the Big East.  I'm not so high on the SEC even though they also got 6 bids.

Yeah, Steggie Weggie, the trash talking one who - wait a minute! do I remember correctly? - ah yes, I believe the one who came in dead fuckin last the previous time we did this?!  Or was it next-to-last?
 
Steg, you're definitely the ultimate fantasy man - especially if you're fantasizing about winning this year!
 
But I tell you what, my friend, if the miracle should come to pass, I will personally go out and buy you a new pair of smurf pajamas - footies and all!

Now we're cookin' here,... whores!  Field is a fillin' in nicely!  Get ready to all go down on... to the Rock!
...
 
By the way, Philly, you know your smiley's not showing (nothin' but code), right?  BOING!
 
Also, you dumbos do know that you do NOT have to make your picks immediately, right?  You can sign up NOW, but you can make your picks later!  They are due by tipoff on Thursday.

What did you do to my favorite smiley?  I click on it at the right to insert it, but the code is showing up instead of the smiley!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Never mind... it seems that box below that says "Check this if you'll be adding code (or don't like smileys)." got clicked somehow.  All is well now.
