So, with apologies to Rob if I have usurped his authority or something, I have created a Sector 12 Pick 'Em for the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament, better known as March Madness. Here is the link

I know the password isn't EXACTLY a show of my incredible modesty, but what the hay. I will be sponsoring a prize for this. Any suggestions for this would be welcome, just keep in mind that if I buy a new Mazzerati, I'm NOT SHARING!

You get the idea. The selection show isn't until later today, so you won't be able to make any picks until after then. If anyone watches the show and could find out what seed Oakland University gets and who they'll be playing in the first round and could PM me, I'd appreciate it. I'm stuck at work and won't get to see the show. So good luck guys. Lord knows I'll need it if any of you know ANYTHING about college basketball.

Sound fun, Jimbo! Let's do this!

Alright Rob, it's all set up. Just register and proceed to kick my @$$!

On it, bro! And thanks for setting this up! I meant to do it, but yeah...........I didn't.


SO WHO ELSE WANTS SOME?

well hell.. I might as well join in and tear up some Sectorians!!!

Got my brackets picked! Go Rob!

Hmmmmm. Very interesting. I have long watched bracket picking during MM in my newspaper and always wanted to do a random selection method. I think my time has come.

Well C'mon then. Even selecting randomly, you'll probably beat me. Hell, I picked a 14 seed to get outta the first round!

Anyone wanting in, only a few days till things kick off. I look forward to getting destroyed in this.

C'mon guys. Are you scared? Is that why you won't play?

They don't want to feel my wrath. I can't blame them.

It's time! If ya haven't got your brackets set, better do it NOW!

Hell Yeah! I'm going to be in the top 5!

Keep in mind I don't follow college or even pro basketball. But I do know a bit about March Madness. This is how I picked: The top 4 seeds in each of the four Regions got a bye in the first round and advanced automatically.

I took sixteen ROC launchers and selected them randomly from a pile on the floor (without looking of course). I numbered them 1 - 16 coresponding with each teams ranking. I then had a launch-off. Which ever missle went farther that team won and advanced.

For each region I scrambled the launchers and picked their order again (keep in mind the first four seeds only got a bye to the second round (32) but then were in the mix too).

I'm a little OCD so I dig numbers. I found it very odd that even though I only eliminated seeds 13-16 in each Region, I still had a #2 vs #4 in the final.

ROC Launcher Picks.

Shock, I bet you kick my ass. Damn you, ROC!!!

HAAHAHA! It will be interesting. I'm not sure what type of custom score system Jimbo set up. I will be quite pleased if any of my picks make it to the final four.

I wanted to make it completely random, but history has proven that rarely does a 1-4 seed lose in a first round.
