The way I figure this is my 35th year of such futility. Back in collage, before all this new-fangled computer stuff, we had to write down the brackets by hand. The key was how fast. All the frats would try to get brackets complete (while watching ESPN), double check them, and get over to library to make as many copies as possible. The fastest frat would have the jump on the campus wide tournaments. I remember a few altercations at the copy machine.

BTW, Temple got snubbed, and Harvard (Ivy) will lose fast, so, as always it's Baseball Season !!!!

I wonder what percentage of brackets across the country are still perfect. Perhaps 1/10th of one percent. Can't imagine more than one in a thousand picked both of those #3 seeds being ousted in the first four games of the tourney.

The games are almost unwatchable now with all the media timeouts. I went to some tournament games a few years ago and it was the most disappointing sporting event I have ever been to live. Every minute and a half the teams have to sit there and watch the clock for 3 minutes while the networks go to commercials. Its ridiculous.

I haven't watched any games yet today...have they added more media timeouts? NCAA basketball has always had under 16, 12, 8, 4 minute timeouts for as long as I can remember.

We are all paying $100 each for these brackets, paid out to the top 3 finishers, right?

Well played this year by everyone, I can't remember a bracket where so many net54 members were in the 90 percentile.

Top 1% is included in the ESPN bracket raffle for the $29,900 in prizes according to the rules (odds: 1 in 100,000). How does the total points winner of the event not get anything? Please tell me the winner of a 1 million entry field is awarded.

At least here, they are granted the coveted Chase Trophy!

I was looking good until KY lost, but as a Wisconsin alumnus and Badger fan I am 100% on board with missing out on Chase. Go Bucky!

Lets not be haters! Does look like he is just shaking hands! My son said the game was over at that point. Looks like a case of O.K. half now half later!

Congrats to Brian on winning the pool If Wisconsin had won I would have given the winner a good scare for the Trophy! On to next year!

spacktrack, looks like you were the winner. Please PM me with all your mailing info and I will send the Chase card immediately. Congratulations, it is a great card. I was hoping to keep it another year but my picks were terrible.
