I havent filled brackets for the last two years and have enjoyed the tournament more because I can cheer for great games/upsets instead of always worrying about my bracket. I dont think I am going to fill one out this year again.

What will you be doing?

I only do one and go down with that ship. Can't do multiple, I hate being a position where I have to root for different teams that could face each other. it's like being in Multiple fantasy leagues... besides if I win one league, I'll likely win em all

augoman

I do 3; 1 for a pool in AZ, one for a pool w/cpl friends, one with my heart (last year I had Catholic schools winning all their first round games.  You know how that one fared!!)

rocky_warrior

Agreed with Ari.  I do one for fun, against a few buddies (ok, maybe a second one on scoop that I pay no attention to unless I do well!).  But I hardly sit and root for teams just so that I win a bracket challenge.  I just keep it around with me so I can see what the match-ups are in the future rounds.

TallTitan34

I get in multiple pools but used the same bracket in each.

Blackhat

Still deciding.  I won a pretty big CFB bowl pool this year and want to keep my winning streak and feeling of invincibility going.  

I usually suck at NCAA tourney brackets anyway.  Anyone here ever won a sizable NCAA pool?

augoman

last year I came in 3rd last in a pool of 118 entries.  just missed that booby prize.

I follow college basketball and my wife does not.....the last two years we have entered the Buffalo Wild Wings National Pick'em Tourney.  She has finished in the top 7 one year and the top 18 the following.  I did beyond terrible.  I pick with my heart/brain and she picks by mascot/nicknames.  She has also won her office pool two years running.  Go figure.

I believe that this is becoming a law of science. Just like in video games, the ones who don't know what they are doing... always beat the ones that do.

Hards... you've got a lot of growing up to do.

I do three brackets... a "homer" bracket where MU wins the championship amongst a Big East Final Four, a "mascot" bracket where teams are judged based upon the ferocity of their mascot, and a "favorites" bracket where I never pick any upsets.  The first two are for fun... I never enter those in a pool.  I enter my favorites bracket only into a couple pools that give no bonuses for upsets.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

What color dress are you wearing tomorrow?

I do one for fun, but nothing competitive.  I prefer watching the games without having money riding on them.  I still find them exciting.

Green... to match the color of the money I'll be winning.
