    I'll defer to the Commish, but I am pretty sure we have until thursday (he may be in an underground bunker trying to fill out his brackets). Looks like we are still lacking a few people signing up, or just don't have enough yet.

    haha I see what you did there!

    I actually love MSU. my favorite schools are USC 4 life.... UNC since I was little, and MSU because Izzo is a bad ass!

    so I would love to see MSU win, just don't see it happening this year.

    I'm right there with you. I've already second guessed about 8 picks so far and now that we have until Thursday i'm sure I'll change about 8 more.

    This season has been so crazy with upsets and changing number ones, and yet I'm so scared that it'll just be all 4 number 1 seeds in the final four. Happened a couple years ago and naturally my bracket was done after like day 2.

    For like 10 years, I stressed about my picks every March and freaked out after every loss, thinking back on how I "knew I should have picked the other team." My new approach to is ask my wife's sister which team from each game she thinks will win, then pick whoever Jay Bilas says.

    Jay Bilas has a crazy bracket, I think he has VCU in the final four??

    this year has the makings of one that you can just pick every upset and win based on points (depending how your bracket scoring is). reminds me of a few years back.

    I don't think it will end up like that personally... but I do think that on paper it looks like that. but since when did anything on paper turn out that way?

    As long as UCLA is out early I am a happy camper!

    UCLA is like the dorky kid brother hanging out at the bar with big bro's cooler friends; they're just happy to be there and usually bow out after the first round.

    so each game is just 1 pt, right? No climbing scale?
    Also, can't seem to pick a winner in the play-in games.
