I'm in on this shindig. I suck at these things, but the opportunity to win dozens of dollars is too strong a draw. Also, I'd like at least one bracket where I can pick Utah in the finals against Kentucky without being ridiculed, and I figure this is definitely the group for that. We're such a positive bunch.

[DrumNFeather]

Right now the winner stands to win a cool $50...come on friends, get in on the action!

I look forward to taking your money, and with it purchasing (75% of) a steak at Flemings.

My entry and my $ are in (dirkhandlebar2)

[DrumNFeather]

I'm only putting in one entry (sheet of integrity kind of guy) though our group says two...stupid espn.

[Old Standing ute]

I'm in.

[DrumNFeather]

Only a few hours remain! Can we get the pool up to $100 (75 for the winner! )

[LA Ute]

I'm in. You guys are all doomed.

[Utebiquitous]

I hate throwing money away but you guys are worth it - except Senioritis.

[Rocker Ute]

I'm in as well. I told my children they just got busted down to a third-rate community college for their education. I hope you people are happy.

[UTEopia]

Well, the fact that you entered 20 brackets suggests that you need to get some help.

[DrumNFeather]

I'm in.

Just make sure you fill in your picks!

[chrisrenrut]

Looks like everyon has either Them or Arizona to win the tournament, except for MRD who boldly picked Utah. I hope The basketball gods reward MRD's boldness.

I had Iowa St. through the Sweet 16 in one bracket, and the Elite 8 in the other. It hurts a bit, but my Final 4 are still intact

[Utebiquitous]

Well,
Just as I thought - $10 given away. I had ISU all the way to the finals - was very impressed with their play last week. What the hell do I know.

[DrumNFeather]

I had ISU in my final four...I think those jerks burned me last year too.

Why would you send your children to byu? What kind of parent are you?

[LA Ute]

Picking the early round upsets is always the death of most brackets. It sure was the death of mine.

Although, you do still have 7 of your Elite 8 picks still alive, so you may move up.

Hey, congrats. You're no longer alone in last place. Senioritis is down there with you. You're both only 100 points behind the leader.

(I'm not doing so well either, just pointing out the highs and lows of the contest so far.)

[1MNUte]

I am happy to be leading the challenge. Hope there are no hard feelings with a lurker being in the lead. I would gladly trade any success in my bracket for a win next Thursday. Go Utes.

I haven't even checked to see how I am doing. Still, I trust that the scientific approach I used will serve me well in the end.

(I did the bracket in about 30 seconds the night before the tournament started. But I shall yet triumph in my own way.)

[Senioritis]

16th out of 16 is pretty good, right?

[Rocker Ute]

You can hang a banner in your house that says you made the Sweet 16 of the UB5 Bracket Challenge.

I ended up 5th.
