bracket challenge

[robert843]

Any one want to get into a bracket challenge for a little fun? I'm not the biggest college basketball fan but heck there is no football. The group name is Jetboaters.net and the password is jetboaters I will tag a few people who maybe interested but all are welcome.

[bronze_10]

I'm in... but somehow I made two brackets... bronze10 2 I filled them in.. bronze10 I did not and I could not figure out how to delete it before I had to get ready for work..

 

[GiddYupJoe]

ON IT!

 

[Chip F.]

I'm in - GOBLUE!

 

[Volffas]

I'm in.

I have watched only 3 games in person and 1 game on TV this year. All of the games that I have been to, and the one that I watched were Northern Kentucky University games. They are about 1.5 miles from my work and we have a suite at BB&T Arena where they play in Highland Heights, KY. It has been exciting to watch them make it this far, but I still picked them to lose in the 1st round. Hopefully they give UK a good game and Calipari doesn't run the score up against them.

Sweet, just entered 4 brackets - one I picked and three others I random generated. Should give me a lock on the 4 bottom spots!

No I didn't have my wife pick so I'm sure to be dead last.

Good point @Ramblin Wreck , she probably would have used uniform color or mascot and those are sure winners. Those methods never work for anyone who watches basketball because we cloud our judgement with stuff we think we know!

 

[Mainah]

My self generated picks are in. With any luck I will have one of the final four right. There are sure to be some upsets early on. For anyone interested my so called strategy is based on loses and defenses. Protecting the net and pulling down boards is always a recipe for success. Hot hands beyond the arch can always be a game changer though.

 

[veedubtek]

If you're a college ball fan, you're about to enter a whole new world when you move @Mainah . I don't think it's quite *as* big in SC as NC, but it's definitely got a life of it's own down here. Noone really knows that hockey is a real sport though...

I am looking forward to attending plenty of college basketball and football games in person. My favorite two sports to watch are Pro Football and College basketball. My wife has already layed claim to a girls trip to watch march madness next year so I am in good company but will have to make fast friends to enjoy the games with next year while she is away. My brother lives in Fuquay Varina, NC so I intend on taking in some UNC games as well as the USC games. I am getting really excited. As far as hockey goes it is really three sports combined into one .. Skating, Soccer, and UFC. Nothing like having seats on the glass when both teams are out for blood.

I have an odd duck question for anyone down south reading this though. Where are all of the outdoor basketball hoops? Long story but we went driving around the schools and parks near Chapin and Irmo SC looking for some and never found any. There were tennis courts, tracks, and football fields but no basketball hoops or courts. Where I live there are full courts outside of every school and in every park available for public use. Can anyone tell my why this does not seem to be the case in SC?

Because it's hot they are all inside lol. Most Rec centers and things like that build indoor courts they get used a lot more then outdoor ones down here.
