I'm horrible at these things, but I'm in.
Brackets come out in less than a week so I took the liberty of starting a DBR bracket group at ESPN.com.

Group name is Duke Basketball Report.
Password is "newboardrocks"
Yo mods...can I get a sticky?

I'm incapable of filling out a bracket in which Duke doesn't win it all. I will probably lose every poll I join this year. On the other hand, if Duke takes it, I will make my co-workers SCREAM. :-)
I love these things. I do all sorts of research, study patterns and then lose. Nothing will change this year I am sure.
another thing to distract me from graduating? I'm on it!
2004: Nailed the Final Four (and champion) exactly; won my pool
2005: Team I picked to win title (Kansas) lost in first round
2006: Picked eventual champion (Flawda) to lose in first round
It's all or nothing for me. Intuition is drawing a blank for me this year, so I'm trying to come up with a new way to embarass myself.

the self abuse continues--I'm in
how is it that i can be so confident every year and get my butt kicked by the round of 8 every year? im always amazing up until the sweet 16 then it's a nose dive.
In my experience, the person that knows the least about college basketball always wins the challenge for my group. Last year was my dad's first time he picked Florida to win it all. He also picked NC State to beat our girls in the ACC tournament. Maybe I should buy him a lottery ticket..
I've had a lot of success w/ncaa women's pools. zilch on the men's side. first time for everything!
Thanks! I am always in for my yearly misery.
This year I'm upset I can't make my favorite pick of Bucknell in the 1st round
Marbles anyone?
It looks like this thread lost its sticky, so bumping it back up (put my picks in as well)
...will upset the vaunted Ohio State in the first round. Yes, I know this sounds absurd, but I think that this is the year a 16 seed finally does it, and OSU is the one to be a trivia answer!
