Anyone want to join a DBR Yahoo pickem group?

[FerryFor50]

I've set one up - maybe enter a bracket as your forum handle and let's see how we all do?

Go to Yahoo fantasy sports and join a group.

Group ID is 110415
Password is ferryfor50

i joined, but can't get the bracket to display to make picks

Pinning this.

This can be the pool for DBR posters this season.

Last season, espn.com was used, so if folks are more comfortable with that format, then someone can start a pool at espn and put a link in here.

Especially since no one at work is doing one this year b/c we're being audited this week. Poosers!

Same here. It's frustrating.

[KenTankerous]

My other yahoo group bracket is doing the same thing, must be a system wide issue.

[FerryFor50]

Definitely a yahoo issue.

I can't imagine it being broken much longer.

[CathyCA]

I sent Yahoo an email about it, just in case 500 other people didn't tell them before I did.

*whew* glad to know it's not just me

A group search for "Duke" on ESPN bracket challenge returns 87 results, about a third of which are tsunami groups. I joined the first one on the list - Fans of Duke - which has 3498 members.

Man, the yahoo people do not like Duke. They basically said we're the same team as last year and ripe for the picking since we have no inside presence and can't rebound. That' what they seem to think anyway.

[1999ballboy]

Yeah, I for one have long since boycotted Yahoo Sports for keeping buffoons like Chris Chase on board as columnists.

[RockyMtnBlueDevil]

I'm new to the site...Should be a great tourney this year.

[Lavabe]

... I have Duke winning the whole thing, taking the final game over the Louisville Cardinals 72-69... same score as 1986, only the good guys win this time.

If this happens, it will bring a whole new dimension to the Family Feuuuuuuuuuuud I have with my brother the Cardinal/hole/terp fan.

They don't call it fantasy for nothing!

In G we trust!!

Cheers,

Ok, I'm in the pool with everyone. The brackets are giving me a headache, though. I think I'm probably too conservative, but I'm not sure how many upsets to actually pick. In one of my other brackets, I literally flipped a coin for most of the matchups. It's hard to pick any team other than Duke, who I currently have winning it all. I may do the random pick thing and just have it done mostly for me...LOL!

Ok I'm in, and since Yahoo let me do 5 I did one random. It ended up with us losing to Villanova and had UNC winning it all. I had to edit that bracket! Kinda scary what random came up with.

I like the pick of Duke over the Cards by the same score they squeaked by us with in 86. I'm still not over than one.
