Anyone participating in an office pool? Or any pool?
I would love to, but I'd have to do it online since I'm a SAHM, so that isn't much fun when you don't know anyone to play against!
Just a note, since I'm a dyed in the wool Scarlett & Grey fan - OSU Buckeyes took the Big 10 title in Football AND mens' & womens' basketball in the same year- the first time for that according to sports reports!
Go Bucks!

I am playing in my husbands office pool. Just turned in my bracket today. Last year I had so much fun following his that I decided to do my own this year.

GO DUCKS!

GO TERPS!

I don't have an office, so I'm not involved in any pool.

But I wore my Maryland shirt yesterday and a Duke fan (up here in Canada haha!) and I got into a friendly spat. Made me feel like I was home.

My husband usually runs one but he isn't this year so no pool here. He might play on a friend's.

That's a good idea, Ladytex. Do you know where we could set up something like that? I'd be in. Of course I haven't followed the NCAA this year so I'd be guessing but that's OK by me!

My boyfriend's high school buddy is playing for Pitt, so I'll cheer for them. :-)

I'm on a Facebook pool, that I created, but it's with all my NON-basketball loving friends. I called it the "Anti-March Madness, Anti-basketball, March Madness Basketball Pool". LOL I told everyone the goal was to finish last. We have to pick the whole bracket right up to the final winner before tomorrow. I chose the first round alphabetically, the second I did reverse alphabet, third alphabetically, fourth reverse. I ended up with 4 teams, and from there I picked a Pitt vs. Memphis final, with a Pitt win.


Yank, I think you could make a Yahoo pool or something simple. Maybe invite TVCHers and friends....

OK, I just entered my picks.

I have not been following this year, I did not even look at the team's records before I chose. I chose based on snap decision/intuition and schools I like (and my alma mater). I filled out the whole thing in about 5 minutes.

So I'll either shock myself, or go down in flames. Either way, it'll be fun!

thank you Ladytex!

I just entered my picks too.

I haven't followed basketball that much this year either. But I did look up a few things online before I filled it out for my husbands office pool. Since I am going against pretty much all men, I didn't want to make too much of a fool of myself. I probably will though!

Thanks, Ladytex, this will be fun!

I'm in too! I have no freaking clue what I am doing, if someone asked me to explain the picks I made.... if I were betting money, no way I would make some of these picks... but March Madness is so much fun, and I love a surprise.

GO ZAGS!
GO COUGS!

You are doing great, Jewels.

I usually root for Duke because my goddaughter is a Duke grad but I don't see them going all the way.
