Bump. NCAA Tournament Pick'Em. First round picks due by tomorrow afternoon. Join up - you seriously don't need to know anything about basketball. The last college basketball game I watched was when Christian Laettner still played for Duke.

Oh, and Happy Steak and a BJ Day, everyone! Give your favorite fella what he deserves.

Cool! Just took a couple minutes to make some crap picks. I'm so excited.

Happy whaaa day?

I'd heard of Steak and a BJ Day (from a gaspode comment?), but didn't know it occured on a special day of the year. It's kind of the anti-valentines?

What's your team name, Hugh? I don't see a new team in the MetaChat pool.

"Hugh Janus Picks Crap"

posted by Hugh Janus 14 March | 09:08

Yeah, I'm not seeing you there either, Hugh.

posted by mike9322 14 March | 09:16

That's crazy, I'm there when I look at it... my bracket is there, my status is "Complete,"and when I click the "Members" tab, my team name shows up on the list.

I WANNA PLAY!

posted by Hugh Janus 14 March | 09:50

You maybe have made crappy picks somewhere else, Hugh?

posted by rainbaby 14 March | 09:52

What other teams show up? I'm Krotchless. Do you see me?

posted by danostuporstar 14 March | 09:53

Weird, I do see you on the members tab, but not the overview tab. Chrismear too.

Mike, any admin magic required?

posted by danostuporstar 14 March | 09:56

OHH...stupid yahoo. They only show the 'top 10' in the overview. I guess that's the first 10 to sign up until things heat up.

I think you're in, Hugh.

stupid yahoo

Well, stupid yahoo user.

This is just a placeholder so you don't have to make it six, dano.

Moonbird seems to think today is cream pies, not steak.

Damn, knocked out by the 11 seed. I was rolling too.

posted by danostuporstar 14 March | 10:05

yay, Steak and BJ day!

I'm sure it was in one of my comments, dano: I'm an enthusiast :) march 14th 1 month after valentines, you know. (Except this is my Valentine's day too).

posted by gaspode 14 March | 10:05

yay, Enthusiasm!

posted by danostuporstar 14 March | 10:09

Ahh, all is now clear.

posted by rainbaby 14 March | 10:21

This steakhouse seems anonymous enough.

posted by danostuporstar 14 March | 10:46

I'm back. I, uh, fixed it.

posted by mike9322 14 March | 11:20

So I'm in. This is my first sports picky thing. I just picked randomly - partly based on name and partly based on what I think I know, which isn't much.

posted by LunaticFringe 14 March | 11:41

I really hope that there are interesting upsets and a George Mason-esque team makes it to the final four or so. Even if it does screw up my pool.

cherokee parks played for duke around that same time, no?

i went to high school with cherokee's sister, corey (cherokee went to the same school, but he graduated a few years behind me). i had a crush on her, but most of the guys @ that school did as well. little did anyone know that she would later become the bass player for nashville pussy...

woo. in.

posted by stynxno 14 March | 13:50

I need to go edit my picks since I basically did it in five minutes, intending to go back later. But I do not feel like messing with it.

Yeah, I just completed reshuffled my Final Four.
