20thStDad Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Teams won't be set until Sunday night, but you can create your entry and join the group before then. The ESPN.com bowl challenge format wasn't the best, but I think the bracket challenge is done as well as any, and it's really easy. You can use the same user ID as the bowl challenge. Here's the info:Get in on the excitement of this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. Compete against other fans as you fill out a bracket and earn points for every correct pick! Come out on top and you could win $10,000. Get a group together and earn plenty of bragging rights amongst your friends by winning it all. Best of all, it's free to play and win.Get in the action now:http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/en/group?groupID=19251Group: HAIF Bracket ChallengePassword: haify Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20thStDad Posted March 11, 2011 Author Share Posted March 11, 2011 I have watched far more college basketball to this point in the season than in past years. It stands to reason that the knowledge I've gained from observation will do more harm than good, and I will finish dead last. My best years are the ones where I haven't paid any attention whatsoever.

20thStDad Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 First bump...go do it! It doesn't lock until Thursday, so you can watch the play-in games before finalizing. I'm disappointed they don't let us pick those, it's not like it would be that hard to program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highway6 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 We got 9 in.. and the league is still open. First game is at 11:15 Central so anyone who is still thinking about joining, you have a little over an hr left.My picks are horrible by the way.. hardly any going out a limb picks... mostly chalk.

20thStDad Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Mine are way boring. 3 1's and a 3 in the final 4, and I have the top 2 seeds in the final. Not likely. As long as Notre Dame loses early, I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highway6 Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Tourney has started. For the record.. i don't like Espn. I don't like that their Group results page is so basic.

20thStDad Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Louisville jacked up everyone's bracket! But basically it affected us all the same, no one had them getting past Kansas, only lockmat had them losing in the 2nd round. Crazy though.

Highway6 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Well... All our picks pretty much have stunk since the 2nd round. Damn you, Cinderella. Puma, looks like I'm gonna squeak by ya for the win. It was so squeaky close, look at it this way...The UCLA-Mich St game, a game decided by 2 pnts, where neither of us picked the winner to go past the following round so only 10 pnts were at stake.. ..Michigan St went 10-25 on 3pnts baskets. Had they gone 11-25.. You'd be the Champ. Over in the women's bracket, A&M and Baylor square off tomorrow night in the Elite 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lockmat Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Has anyone else taken a nice camera to Reliant before? I'm going to Saturday's games and their policy is point and shoot is ok but no video camera's. I have a t2i, which is not a point and shoot, and it also has video. Do yall think they'll let it through? I doubt I'll ever get someone on the phone to answer this for me.The Rockets let me in with it but they made me leave the lens that can zoom in a lot, at their customer service desk.

Their restrictions can be found on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
