Greetings everyone. In what may be the last time ever, I've set up a tournament pool for us over at EPSN. For those who feel like filling out a bracket, click on the link below and join in. I have not yet checked with Sky to see if his yearly donation of a couple of episodes for the winner is a go again, but if not, I'll find something to send the winner. Just know this: my prize will be lame. MST3K Board Tourney PoolTake a look and see what you think. This is the second year we've used ESPN, but I didn't check the functionality that closely, so if something concerns you, let me know. Also, do whatever you can to keep Mr. Atari from winning this year. Every year he wins, and every year I'm terrible. This is the essence of why I think I'm retiring from organizing this after this year Again, keep me posted on how everything goes.

Ironically, I haven't watched much college basketball this year. Spending two weeks in Germany toward the end of the season didn't help either....Have to think if i'm going to fill out a bracket.

I went ahead and filled out a couple. I usually get in a small pool every year although for the most part I don't do very well. A couple years ago I was actually leading going into the final game but I already knew there was no way I could win, even though I had picked the eventual winner. The rest of the Final Four doomed me.

Several, several years.

Well, I'm in. I followed the same rules as every year: 1) The ACC isn't as good as ESPN thinks. 2) The Big 10 will send a team to the Final Four, but they won't win. 3) When in doubt, always bet against Kansas.
Maybe this is the year my strategy comes back to bite me.

I think that Ashley Judd deserves to see Kentucky win after having to kiss Dick Vitale.

Welcome back, Mr. Atari. Your secrets are so simple. So wise Ashley Judd doesn't deserve jack. I'd rather fall down a flight of stairs than have Kentucky go undefeated. It's how I feel

You've gotta join us. It won't feel right without you. And anyway, it's way more fun if you don't know anything about the teams.

I agree, crowfan, just go for broke and see what happens. I mean, why not?
It's almost time to get started. If anyone wants to get in, now is the time to do it!

Well, I'm done. I had Iowa St. in the Final Four. My reign of terror is over.

It's still a wide open field for us. (Says the one who had Iowa State in the Elite Eight.)

Baylor lost today too. Sorry, I didn't do the brackets this year; I probably should have but I think my brackets would have busted today....

Don't feel bad, and Atari isn't out of it yet. I had UAB and Georgia State winning their opening games on the same bracket - still only coming in third . I had SMU in the Sweet 16, I think, and for some reason I was rooting a little too hard for Mike Davis and Texas Southern to upset Arizona.

Thanks, Georgetown, for dealing a near-fatal blow to my bracket.

It's been a pretty crazy tournament so far. My team, Indiana, went down to Wichita State, so I'm pretty much watching just to watch at this point. I'm still pulling against Kentucky. I think Wisconsin has a real chance to beat them, but you never know. Kentucky is a young team. At some point they may run into a less-talented team, but one full of seniors and juniors that know how to play. And true to form, one of my brackets here is in last place, but I'm tied for third with the other. That's acceptable, as far as I'm concerned Also, Sky has graciously agreed to provide a couple of MST3K eps to the winner. Make sure to send him a thanks for his contribution, he always makes things more fun around here!
