FM bracket contest?

[Granny]

Does anyone know of a site to start a FM contest for the mens NCAA bracket? I think we did something like this last year but I don't know who set it up. I think they just started a group names fishingmn.com or something. Please post if something like this gets set up for this years tournament.

Yah, I just started one on yahoo if people want to join it. What you do is go to yahoo and you have to have a Yahoo ID. Then go to sports and click on pick em. Sign up for the contest and then join a group. The group is called Fishing Mn. You'll need the group ID # and it is ID# 64242. Password is "gophers". Then just make your picks.

I'd be interested in this as well, assuming it's just for fun. Maybe like the big buck contest, we're competing for a heading attached to our sign-ins about being the NCAA tourney bracket winner or something.

I'm in!!

I did my five different brackets on the ESPN page and there was an area where you can set up or join a group. I will play with it a little and see what I can do.

I was able to set up a group on www.espn.com

On the right click "NCAA Tournament"

Then click "Tourney Challenge"

Set up a free account and make your picks. You can pick 5 different brackets. After you set up an account and make your picks you can join the group "fishingminnesota.com".

Click on the group and then click "join group" and the password is "fishingminnesota" .

Join in and lets have some fun with it.

Let me know if anyone has questions/suggestions.

i signed up for the yahoo one

[bigbucks]

I'm in the espn one. I don't know if I'll do the yahoo one or not.

Anyone picking a big upset in the first round? Its kind of tough with having 5 different brackets, but anyone confident in a "sleeper" team? On one board I went out on a limb and took MN over UNC . March Madness makes work go by so much faster!

Later and good luck on the brackets!

I went with UCLA over Texas Tech.....for me it's like voting for the leper with the most fingers though....Can't stand either one of them!

[Granny]

I have #12 Wis-Mil over #5 Alabama on one of my brackets. Wis-Mil is up by 13 at half! Doesn't at least one #12 beat a #5 every year? Sure seems like it.

I have Wis-Mil on 2 of my pools, in fact, I had them marked down, changed my mind, then 2 minutes before the first tip-off I called the guy who was in charge and had him switch it back...lol.

Looking good right now!!

4 for 4 BABY!!!

[Granny]

4 of my 5 ESPN brackets went 3-1(probably most peoples did). The Alabama game was the one that hurt me. I picked Wis-Mil on the board against my wife. I think I went 4-0 on that one but its at home. I thought Pacific was going to loose that one. Gotta go.....4 more games starting up!

[GullGuide]

But I picked IA too....OWIE!!!!!

[Granny]

Lot of game left but down by 20 with 10 minutes to go in the first half!!! I took Iowa in 3 of my 5 brackets also .

Granny

[GullGuide]

DOWN BY 8 NOW!!!

GO HAWKEYES!!!!

Never thought I'd say that.......

[Granny]

What do you think of Washington? I didn't read anything about any of the teams before I made my picks and I never watched Washington play. Think they are for real? I think they will loose the second or third round. No logic behind that, just a guess.

I've got them being beat by Louisville in the 3rd round.

Who else has UTEP over Utah? Not looking good right now, but still a whole half to go. They may still pull it out.

My biggest upset win pick has got to be, well it was Wisc-Mil over Bama. I also have Creighton over WV, but a 10 over a 7 isnt that big of a deal really (also have NC state over Charlotte).

[cyberamish]

The Huskies are for real (more so than my beloved Huskie hockey team from SCSU this year ) But I don't see them making past the sweet 16.

C'mon UTEP.... daddy need another point here!!!

[GullGuide]

HAWKEYES DOWN BY 5!!!!!!

[GullGuide]

DOWN BY 3!!!!

YEA BABY!!!

[Granny]

Not looking good for Iowa. UTEP is back in it too! (I have Utah)

I took Creighton on most of my brackets also.

[cyberamish]

Can you say "toast".... that'd be 2 slices please. bye bye Hawks...see ya UTEP.
