March Madness Tournament Challenge 2011

Sign in to disble this ad
It is that time of year when TalkBass puts down its instruments and picks up a mouse and fills in its NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament Brackets.

I've created a group on ESPN's site called TalkBass - no one has ever accused me of too much originality.

It does require free registration to play. Fill in your brackets and after it is submitted you will have an opportunity to join a group. I didn't put a password on the group.

We are up to 6 players, I'd like to get it much higher.

This year, my graduate school, daughter's school, and father-in-law's alma mater are all in the tournament. I know we have plenty more connections in the bass community with the some of the top hoop schools.

TalkBass is one of the few places on the internet where passionate sports fans can have spirited discussions without the venom and stupidity that passes for sports chat in other forums.

I joined. Picked with my heart, not logic.

Cool.

This year - heart has as good a chance as any other system.

A friend of mine was telling me that his cat beat him in a pool where you had to choose one team of each seeding with 4 in each region. He figured that the cat would like teams like the Princeton Tigers and Pitt Panthers and Villanova Wildcats and would root against the Bulldogs, Salukis, Huskies, etc.

For thoes of you playing, I did get rid of my extra entries and have submitted just one to our challenge.

Darn, I was planning on giving you plenty of grief about the extra entries - after the tourney got going. Now I'll need to come up with a new shtick.

Glad I didn't go with my first plan of submitting 10 entries to the challenge....
