<p>Hey Parents,</p>

<p>It’s time for MARCH MADNESS!!!</p>

<p>I made a pool for CC through Yahoo. Sign up now and set your picks – you will need a (free) Yahoo! account to participate. </p>

<p>Sign up instructions:
<a href=“http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men[/url]”>http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/men&lt;/a&gt;
Click “sign up” and name your pickset (i.e. the “name” you’re giving to your picks – this will allow you to use the same picks for other Yahoo! groups if you want to). To avoid confusion, I recommend that you use the same name as your CC username so we can keep track of who’s doing what. </p>

<p>Then click “join a group”
Then “join a private group”</p>

<p>Then type in for ID: 39507 and password: ccparents</p>

<p>Winner gets… bragging rights =)</p>

2

<p>Bump, now that we can actually make picks.</p>

3

<p>Thanks for doing this! I’ll get mine in soon. :)</p>

4

<p>Duke and Ohio State in the final game? Hell yeah, OSU champs baby!</p>

5

<p>Picks are in. Ya gotta play to brag…</p>

6

<p>We know a certain cc poster who will try to pick Swarthmore!!! :)</p>

7

<p>I was kinda hoping he would pick Davidson, just to be contrary! I have a hot tip from my BIL that Winthrop (15) is a lock to beat Tennessee (2). Unfortunately, he’s an Assistant Professor at Winthrop so I’m kinda taking it with a grain of salt. Although TN at 2 is a joke.</p>

8

<p>Yeah that Tenn-Winthrop game would be shades of Bucknell-Kansas last year. They totally stole Gonzaga’s #2 seed!</p>

9

<p>Dark horse coming on strong (but no prediction for the Final Four): Syracuse</p>

10

<p>That’s a good bandwagon pick, if you would have told me a week and a half ago Syracuse was even going to be in the tournament, I would have put you in a strait jacket. I have them going to the sweet 16, but there is no way they get past Duke. They might just be emotionally spent after the Big East tournament. Those games over the past week that Cuse played in is the emotional equivalent of getting married, switching jobs, and losing a parent all in one week!</p>

11

<p>Final Four: Duke, Connecticut, BC, Pittsburgh</p>

12

<p>Pittsburgh isn’t even going to get past Kent State in the first round sokkermom! I would redo your bracket immeadiately! ;)</p>

13

<p>Hi Joev:</p>

<p>Ok, I fess up, I was lost in the Oakland Group. I cheated from my 13 year old daughter’s picks.</p>

<p>Here’s how I got the others. I didn’t consult with the odds makers.</p>

<p>Connecticut: My H was born and raised there.</p>

<p>Boston College: My nephew is a student there.</p>

<p>Duke: My son is a Blue Devil and plays video games with JJ !</p>

<p>I still haven’t picked a winner. I would like to see a Duke - BC rematch, or a Duke- Connecticut match up.</p>

14

<p>Joev,</p>

<p>You are oh so wrong! Pitt is ****ed off over its seeding and will take it out on its first round opponent. Pitt beat Villanova running away. Who did Kent State beat (other than protesters in the late 60s…)</p>

15

<p>ARGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH</p>

<p>okay, that is my i can’t wait for march madness to be over, cause we have soccer, baseball, basketball, golf and anything else involving a ball going on one tv all the time</p>

<p>blech</p>

<p>with that, enjoy!!!</p>

16

<p>Oh citygirlsmom- if you can’t beat 'em, you’ve got to join 'em!
I could never survive in my house without becoming a fully conversant-in-college-hoops mom. My son’s friends crack up when I yell “ILLEGAL SCREEN- THAT REF IS BLIND!” to the TV.
You gotta love March Madness…</p>

17

<p>Excellent. </p>

<p>In another group, I’ve got a bracket going where I went by alphabet–team from the U with the further-back-in-the-alphabet name wins. That has Xavier winning it all–talk about a longshot. But the way my brackets have gone in years past, this is no more foolish a way to pick than I would otherwise.</p>

<p>Not sure what brilliant algorhythm I’ll use for the ccparent pick. Something just as cerebral, I’m sure.</p>

18

<p>Elite Eight: ** Duke ** v. West Virginia, ** Pittsburgh ** v. UCLA, UConn v. ** North Carolina **, Villanova v. ** Georgetown **</p>

<p>Final Four: ** Duke ** v. Pittsburgh, ** Georgetown ** v. North Carolina.</p>

<p>NCAA Championship: ** Georgetown ** v. Duke, 87-84.</p>

<p>After the Elite Eight, things just turn into wishes and dreams. :). Go Hoyas.</p>

<p>Try Pitt in the 2002 tournament Sweet 16! That’s why it should be a fun game to watch. I ain’t gonna lie, I got KSU going to the final four this year, which is the stretch of all streches, but I will be winning this thing if they do. I have OSU winning the whole thing, joined in the final game with Duke and UNC also making the FF. There is a possibility of a Duke-UNC final game, that would be insane! But still I hope my Golden Flashes and Buckeyes go super far in the tournament. Maybe a Kent State-Ohio State final game? Who the F**k would I root for then?</p>

20

<p>Kent State does not have the individual star players it had in 2002. </p>

<p>If Kent State wins, I be the first one to give you props, but I don’t think you’ll have to worry about being conflicted regarding a Ohio State/Kent State match up.</p>

<p>Not gonna happen.</p>
