Speaking of annual NCAA pools...

I've set up a football pool (http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/bowl/group/33657/invitation?key=b470113fb4ec5958). Password is "ethanfan" if you're interested.

That password causes me to visualize driving 85 mph on I-366.

I guess it would help if I actually, you know, clicked the link.  :pan:

Same here. I laughed, but also had a facepalm moment directed at myself. I hadn't clicked the link because I haven't been watching enough football to sign up. My wife and I watch hockey almost every night (if not a game, at least NHL on the Fly).

I ended up joining. I wanted to name my team "proposal to repeal night speed limit" but that exceeded the character limit, so I'm "proposal to repeal something".

Doesn't matter if you watch football. Just sign up! 3 person leagues aren't fun. BTW, the "favorite" team is on the left hand side of the column when you choose who you want to win, so that makes it easier for a novice.

Speaking of NCAA tournament pools, we're into March, and that means March Madness is upon us. Anyone planning to host a bracket, or should I step up again?

Feel free to create a group, if I created one it'd just be called "Interstate 366" or somethingrather like your bowl pool was. :P

I'll put together my pool like I always do.

And I'll join it like I always do. :P

this is no longer a double post

Apologies for the double post but I have created a league. It's mainly for my friends and co-workers at VCU (it's VCU-themed and the name even relates to VCU), but I'm letting pretty much anyone join. You can be in more than one pool, so feel free to join mine.

EDIT: The group is public.

I've started the second annual women's group - because no one ever does well with the men's bracket, so why not have a bracket you can feel good about? http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/w1/group/1628, no password.

I'm gonna start a pool that allows only myself.  because I never do well with others, so why not have a bracket I can feel good about?

Because you can't trash talk yourself as effectively.

I've decided to join both Will's tournament and Steve's women's tournament. (There's no really good way to phrase that is there? :p) I'm King Coal's Bracket in both cases.

did you edit this, or did I misread this yesterday?  I had totally parsed this as "I have started a second bracket, which only woman participants are allowed to join" - but today I reread it as "I have started a second bracket, consisting of women's basketball teams, for participants of all genders".

he edited it from saying because "no one ever does well with the men".  You can take it from there.

Since the group is "private," it does not really allow direct linking to the group. Adam's link does provide enough information to join the group, however

Try going to the following URL:
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup

Enter the Group ID: 73013
Then try Adam's password: canes

I'll only allow Men, Women, and Mixed. If your gender does not have at least some bits of one or the other, out of luck.

Well, Lehigh and Norfolk State have made this necessary.

Second chance bracket league is up. It's public, no password required.

I picked Kansas to win the tournament, and it seems like almost the entire nation picked Kentucky. Tonight should be interesting...
