    The bad news, I was rally bad in Fridays' games, just 10-6. I went a paltry 70% in the first rd on my ESPN bracket.

    The good news, I'm alive in 15 of the 16 games in the next rd. I have 1 team in 7 games and both teams in 8 games. So I'll live to fight in at least 2 more rds.

    YEA ME !!

    Horrid day yesterday (9-7). I think if I went out in the back yard to pick daisies i'd fall over.

    Orlando. I can't see having both Young and Morant. It's hard to imagine trading Trae after the season he's having, so that leaves moving the pick or taking a player like Barrett who has less market value.

    I'd move the pick if I could make a good deal.

    Also, I keep referring to Morant as Murray, as in Murray St. I'm turning into Trump, he keeps calling people by their company's names. I think he refered to Steve Jobs as Steve Apple.

    To my amazement I was hanging around 150th and 80+% accurate until today (Saturday at 5PM). More amazingly I filled out my bracket literally 5 minutes before the deadline and really didn't have a clue what I was doing. BUuuut reality sets in. Now around 490 and 50%. When does fall practice start...?

    Interesting observation, by dumb luck of course, ranked #10 in the Dawgnation group.....!!!!!

    However this ranks 253,000 + among all that used the ESPN bracket across the world.

    What does that tell us about us??? HA.

    There will be a perfect bracket remaining in America after tonight. Three perfect brackets left, and two picked Auburn while the other picked Kansas. I'd say the former should win, considering Auburn leads by 26 at halftime. That's 40 wins in a row, which is a bracket record. One of the bracket's picks for tomorrow:

    1 Duke over 9 UCF

    4 VT over 12 Liberty

    6 Buffalo over 3 Texas Tech

    1 Virginia over 9 Oklahoma

    12 Oregon over 13 UC Irvine

    2 Tenn over 10 Iowa

    1 UNC over 9 Washington

    3 Houston over 11 Ohio State

    🤔

    Is there still a million dollar prize offered up to a perfect bracket? I dont watch bb but thought that was done back a few years ago

    I heard Warren Buffett offered $1M per year for the rest of your life if you got the Sweet 16 right. But that's only available to his employees.

    CTDawg - Aren't you assuming the remaining perfect bracket will also pick the other 7 games correctly ?

    There may be 0 perfect brackets after today's games.

    The two remaining brackets have only one game different, and I believe that’s Texas Tech vs. Buffalo. True that we could see it end today but all of the other picks are chalk. Gonna be interesting for sure
