    I'm going to create a March Madness group for us all to participate in. No money, just fun. I'll do it via either Yahoo or NCAA.com so that those diametrically opposed to ESPN's existence might participate. Go ahead and create a many brackets as you want. I'll post a link once it's set up.

    After games like today's, it's clear that we all should be paying some attention to the college tourney this year.

    Just because it looks interesting, I've selected the "fibonacci" scoring system (2-3-5-8-13-21) with upset bonuses (4-3-2-1-1-1), although I can be persuaded to change that if someone feels strongly.

    I've paid so little attention to college basketball this year that I'm really just guessing anyway, so I may as well have just done the same.

    I never got a code. But I only really watch the women.

    Stanford over UConn sounds good to me. But I think South Carolina will repeat.

    All right, peeps--tourney (really) starts tomorrow. Get in and fill out a bracket. It'll be a much more fun way to spend the next 3 weeks than complaining about Billups' schemes and rotations.

    You should click on the link and fill out a bracket to demonstrate your superior knowledge of the game. I'll even send you cookies if you beat me.

    Of course, and I expect nothing less. Just saying it's best not to only do the un-fun one.

    Aww, man... now I feel bad!

    To be fair, I basically look at you and Torey as one person now...

    Either way, glad you're in. Get your other half in there too.
