Ha, that is what they said about Syracuse. They got the last at-large slot !

OK i'm in for two

btw, if you decide you published more brackets than you want to be financially liable for, please delete them from the TGR Maggot league. You can still enter them in the CBS bracket challenge.

When the TGR Maggots group is showing in the top right (where you'd expect to see a login credential), you can check how many you have under the "standings" list.

...it's a little frustrating when you win & folks you think are playing don't pay up

Do we send the money to Garth or honor system to me (the winner)?

emails will be sent to all of last year's players as a reminder.

Just trying to keep the link on each page- I hate searching for it.

Edit, I guess I could bookmark it, but I like seeing the play by play on here before I see how bad I guessed.

My Bonnies are in. You missed a fun game. They shot like shit and still won on defense.
Gators are gonna have their hands full with this team.

Garth does not handle $$$, unless you feel strongly about making a donation which I will gratefully accept. Send it to the winner. In the past many have selected a charity to have their winnings donated to so that may be an option this year as well.

Just a reminder, deadline for FINALIZING picks is noon EDT tomorrow, so get on it. I'm pretty sure the site won't let you save unless you put in the tie-breaker score but in the past we've had players who didn't take this last step which renders your bracket null and void so don't forget.

We've got 34 players and 37 brackets so far...that's a nice pot for the lucky winner.

I always put at least half my winnings in my kids' college fund.

just looked...about half of the listed players haven't finished their brackets

Made a second bracket with just the 538 predictions. We’ll see if those nerds are smarter than me!

**iceman** · 03-14-2018, 10:26 AM

Set up a second bracket for my wife but she's traveling, I'm not sure she'll be able to fill it out. Also I texted Gib, was it last year he won or the year before?

If it shows they have a champion they filled it out, even though you can't tell what they picked yet.

**Marshall Tucker** · 03-14-2018, 11:24 AM

**gatorboy** · 03-14-2018, 11:32 AM

BTW - my charity this year is the "Let's Destroy His Liver" fund.

Feel free to pre-pay if you want.

I counted 15 just now, could be off by 1 or 2 though.

**iceman** · 03-14-2018, 04:50 PM

I never got the email you talked about, is there some way to resend it to wake the slackers up?

I'll give it a shot, it's a mass email based on the addresses that everybody used to sign up last year.

**BobMc** · 03-14-2018, 07:37 PM

In.

I haven't finished in the money in college hoops since I was in school, and I'll be damned if I followed things closely enough to have an informed opinion this year. C'est la vie, I guess.
