Default Wise Bread March Madness Challenge 2008

Thanks to 72Tiger's March Madness thread, we're inspired to start our own little March Madness tournament on Yahoo.

To join our Yahoo group:
  • If you don't already have an Yahoo account, sign up for one here.
  • Go here and enter the group ID 144461. There's no need to enter a password.
  • Create your bracket before the start of the first game of Round 1 on Thursday, March 20. You can check your standings here.
This is a public Yahoo group so please don't put in any sensitive personal information. Please don't place any bets on this forum.

The big winner gets bragging rights and this little Wise Bread piggy bank. Think of it as a trophy for your basketball knowledge.



edited to add: Only the people who joined before the start of the tournament are eligible to win the piggy bank.

ack! My Xavier wasn't faring too well with GA, but better now...that would've really messed up my chances!


I'm 3 for 3 right now. I can't check out the brackets on yahoo until I get home. I can't wait to see how many of you picked Portland State to go all the way !!

Wooo.... some people in the group dropped points picking Georgia over Xavier. You must feel good about that Kav.

I love Xavier, but I love Duke even more.
