RealGM

Hey guys, the tourney starts soon enough and though I don't really know college ball, it is still fun to play with a bracket.

I just saw you can rejoin the group Realgm Bulls Board from last year, so that's easy.

It's the group created by JDRochholz on ESPN, anyone else wants to join again?

JD is it okay for you if we use that group again?

Let's do it. I forgot the password though.

MICHIGAN STATE

Created in 2013, the password is "thereturn." Kind of painfully ironic how relevant that still is, 2 years later.

Thanks Ben, I forgot the password, I could still rejoin though.

Looks like I am tied for first. I plan to remain there the rest of the way.

I'm in.

C'mon people, sign up!

I can see a Calapari vs Izzo title game.

Every year I want to pick against Izzo he burns me.
Every year I pick with Izzo, he burns me.

But it's Izzo, and he's ALWAYS in the hunt....


I'm seeing less interest in this everywhere this year. Kentucky is so dom and the brackets don't allow for a UK/WIS final like most seem to suspect.

I'm not going Jay Williams different, but making some picks I would not normally make....

Good Luck!

I rejoined

I am in.....

how far does SMU have to get for larry brown to secure GOAT status?

What is the name of the group..

Can somebody please link me to the group? Have not logged into ESPN for a year *since last years tourney". Don't remember MY password, or the group name for the challenge or anything.

Yeah, I'd like a link too. I'll join if there still time.

I think you can join up until a few minutes before game time of first game

What I did was log into my ESPN account (which I haven't used since last year's tourney) and then clicked on the link on the front page about entering the challenge. (I think the choices it gave were "GET STARTED" or "log into ESPN." I chose "log in.") After doing that it gave me the chance to fill out a bracket and since I was in the group last year it was already linked to my account. I just joined it again and used the password from last year.

The group ID = 65959
The password = thereturn

OK, I think this link may work for you...

I'm in. Thanks guys

I'm in.

Damn, I didn't join in time. Life got me!

Have fun guys/gals

So far, my bracket - based on the simple strategy of picking the higher ranked team in every game - is doing better than any of yours.

Every year for the previous 4 or 5 years I've done this very thing as a second bracket, and almost every year that by-the-numbers bracket wins or is near the top. In a small pool that doesn't give any reward for picking upsets, that's the way to go. This year I was too busy-- only entered my "not-by-the-numbers" picks-- and the straightforward method is doing gangbusters. At least you're keeping the strategy alive. Good on ya!
