    Posted: 13 Mar 2011 at 12:03pm
I've got a group set up. Anyone interested? There's prizes. It's with Yahoo so you'll need an account (it's no big deal). The teams get seeded tonight and the "play in" game is on Wednesday, I believe. This is open to any current member of this forum. Anyone signing up for iAMGaming after this post is not allowed. This is sponsored by me, not iAMGaming.
 
**** 1st Prize - $40.00 PS Store Gift Card
 
**** 2nd Prize - $20.00 PS Store Gift Card
 
**** 3rd Prize - Nothing you loser!!!!!
 
Yahoo is also giving away $1,000,000.00 for a perfect bracket and some other money as well.
 
PM me here for the password and league info. Cutoff time is 12:00pm CST, Wednesday, March 16th, 2011.

Edit: the four "play-in" games are not included in the bracket. so i am extending the deadline for this contest to 8:00am CST, Thursday, March 17th, 2010. Your bracket must be complete by 11:00 am CST of that same day. Please note that four of the "Round of 64" teams will not be set until Thursday due to the four play-in games on Wednesday.

Alright, don't make fun of me. My picks are done and I have Ohio State taking it down. I didn't just pick the highest rated teams either.. I have a couple of upsets but from doing minimal research I see Ohio winning.

Final four - Ohio, Duke, Kansas and Pittsburgh

LOL I heard about that, its an extremely old fashioned rule.. but, the guy did sign the "contract" or whatever its called to play sports, so he had it coming.

ooooh and Milly takes the lead, 8 out of 9 picks correct! Nice one!
