Nut may or may not be paying out another bucket o beer!

I'm waiting for Obama to release his bracket before I fill mine out, but I'm sure I'll be enjoying another bucket of beer at next year's WCC tournament!

So Rochin54, have you found a sports bar in Shanghai that will have the games?

The winning bracket has been submitted. No need for anyone else to bother.

I submitted anyway. "It's a lot better to have guessed and lost, than to have not guessed at all." mesapilot1

You make me laugh, DD. I like you.

Easy, big guy. Others may be watching.

From the Sun Sentinel:

Asked about his NCAA Tournament memories, Eric Spoelstra moved past his time at the University of Portland.

"I have memories of filling out the brackets," he said. "I won the bracket, our office bracket, I think three or four years ago, the video-room bracket, and all I remember about that is I didn't get paid."

Really, he moved past his time at UP?

As Eric didn’t get paid after winning his bracket, I'll donate all my winnings to the poor guy on April 2nd.

You really like to post that picture. It's a good one, though. I see the20pointmay in there, as well!

I will renew the prize of a bucket of the finest Bud or Bud Light that the Orleans has to offer, for this year's winner.

It was a pleasure helping Blacksheep empty said bucket.

Haven't looked yet...I need to get on figuring out how the heck I will be able to watch ANY of these games!!

Wanna trade? As much as I love basketball, especially this time of year, I'll trade my BIG screen plasma for a roundtrip to Shanghai!

Oh yes, the winning bracket has been submitted. And I'm very glad that we're going to have yet another "unique bracket" from MattyWizz.

How do you know what I put on my bracket?

Got my picks in! BTW - the latest is that Fab Melo the SYRACUSE center has been declared academically ineligible for the rest of season. It affected my brackets.

I knew you'd eventually be back, MP1. We've all been awaiting your insight into this year's brackets.

BTW - I didn't have Syracuse anywhere near the final four with Fab Melo.

Good luck to KK when USD takes on CSUN; she looked good in Las Vegas.

Welcome back, buddy.

I just realized that I have watched 2 games all year, both being pilots games.... SOOOOO I have no idea how good/bad anyone is. Is UCLA good this year?

Oh, yea. Definitely place them first in your bracket.

No.

Here is a bracket that was completed using the APR scores to pick each winner. Neither SMC or GU advanced in round 1, but BYU nade the Elite Eight. The Big East did not fare well; ND won only round 1, West Virginia won two rounds, nobody else advanced. Harvard did not get past Texas , and four Big 12 schools made the Sweet Sixteen, with Kansas winning it all. Check it out. I heard about it on the radio, and Coach Rev posted the link on Twitter.

22 signed up so far.... Still have til tomorrow to sign up for those that haven't yet. Riches and glory await the winner. Or beer from Pilot Nut and an autographed basketball head mask signed by Mesa. (I cannot back up any of those prize claims.)

Obama's bracket is out http://games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/entry?entryID=4267886

He went out on a limb this year and picked 2 number 2 seeds for the final four. Sweet 16 has all top 4 seeds and only one 3 seed making the final 4.

For a President who is not known for being conservative, his brackets sure are

He picked all the 10 seeds. +VCU and NC State.

My bracket is only about half filled out as of now. Need to finish it up tonight after work.

Obama still waiting for his brother in law to get to the dance.
