    The period for signing up has officially closed.

    We have 14 players total, which means that the winner will receive 13 new PJ boots. I like that we have a nice variety of 2000, 2003, 2008, and 2009 boots. 8-)

    The Tourney Selection Show begins at 3 pm PST today; I will be PMing all participants very soon with a link to our Yahoo Tourney page, along with the password to create your bracket.

    Good luck to everyone!

    Looks like 9 people have signed up and (hopefully) completed their brackets.

    To the remaining 5 -- PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be sure to sign up and complete your bracket before the games start on Thursday! If you don't complete a bracket, you can't earn any points...but you will still be on the hook for sending out your pledge.

    Don't forget!

    I'll let you in if you can send me your e-mail and home address by the end of tonight, and if you can pledge a specific boot (of your choice) that has not already been pledged.

    Let me know asap if you're interested.

    You know what sucks?

    When one of your final four teams loses in the first game of the day, essentially eliminating you from winning the pool before it really even gets under way. :lol:

    I thought Nova was going to shit the bed there for a bit. That would have been one of my Final Four teams gone...great start so far to the tourney!

    One out of three right so far. Nothing that will destroy my bracket though. Vandy losing would though.

    And my bracket is destroyed!

    I agree about the games!

    Thanks again walkunafraid for doing this. It's a lot of fun! I got Butler right and on the bracket I printed out I had UTEP. I must have changed it again. Yay! Still in last place though. :(

    It's always amazing to me to see people right now with 11 out of 12. Was I stupid not to go with Murray State? What's Murray State? Where is it?

    I asked my husband last night when I was doing my bracket, isn't Georgetown uneven this year? And he said, "You gotta go with Georgetown." Well - bah.
  • walkunafraidwalkunafraid Posts: 2,569
    Wow, some great games today -- and it's only day one!

    I did the same thing with Georgetown. I haven't been big on them at all this year, so I actually had them losing today until I read stupid advice on espn and let it change my mind. Guess that goes to show that you should always follow your first instinct!

    Good news is that we all have fairly different brackets, so anybody can still win. It will be interesting to see what additional upsets happen this year; there has been such parity in the NCAA this year that nothing is guaranteed.

    Bring on day two!

    Big morning for my bracket...Minnesota has to win if I am going to have any chance of getting into this thing.

    Go Golden Gophers!
