The Analog Cub Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'm going to submit 10 brackets just to have some fun with names but I think we should all designate one as our official bracket for contest purposes. Otherwise someone could just submit one and pick the chalk, and if that one won, it would kind of take the joy out of it. Or we could have two contests, one with all brackets and another one with just the "official" ones. I think we should keep it to one contest. Less hassle and less stuff to keep track of. I have 2 brackets so far, might make some more later if I get bored and want to pick stupid ones to win it all like Iowa or something. I agree about only having one official bracket per person. Make all the brackets you want, but no changing it up after you pick it and the games get going!Good plan. We have till Thursday?

I would assume so, as long as it's in before the first games start on Thursday. The sooner the better. I can't find any specific submission deadline on ESPN's website.

blueschica Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I'll do mine soon but still protesting against the NCAA- No Colorado State University to pick! Such a snub!! It'll be fun to see what happens with the teams that are actually in. . . .You'll have to go with VCU, they're the Rams too... Jump in the pool, the water's warm...OK, I did put mine in! I did pick VCU, had to get some Rams in there and their coach is an alum of the college that 2 of our kids went to. . . . In 2011 they did make it to the Final Four in a bunch of upsets. . . .that was fun to watch! Bring on the March madness ! :) :) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueschica Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Ok, I just put up another one; Blues C. 1 is my official one and Deep Purple 1 is another member of my family who thought this looked so fun they asked if i could put their bracket up. Sorry, I know we were trying to keep it to one, just know that Blues c. is mine and due to Murphy's Law, Deep Purple1 will no doubt kick my ass. . . .

goose Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 And we have the first upset of the tournament, 17 loss Hampton defeats Manhattan, 74-64.I have a soft spot for Hampton. I was in Boise watching when Hampton (15 seed) took over the city by defeating Iowa State (2 seed) in the first round. The Hampton cheerleaders (smokin' hot) and band performed at the hockey game the next night, which was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
