It was discussed last week that it would be fun to have a group social NCAA bracket context for the forum.

For those interested, use this link: http://serottaforum.mayhem.cbssports.com/e

You might have to sign in or register, but it will take you to this page.

It will prompt you for a group password, which is: bananadance :banana:

Free, no money, no betting, just braggin rights.

Sounds Fun. I'll try to sign up from home in the next day or two.

By chance, the timing for my ACL replacement works out great. I'm having surgery Wednesday so I will be stuck on the couch all Thursday and Friday. I normally don't get to watch much of the first round. This year I will get to watch (or at least sleep thru) all of it :banana: .

Go ODU!

I'm in.

Pete locks all OT threads a few days ago and now you want him to pin an OT thread that does not even start "OT" (although the subject is clearly off topic).

Looking for trouble.

Why does everyone say that there is a conspiracy for Duke to make it to the final? Duke had on really bad game all year long and it happened to be against Georgetown.

I will try to sign up later today.

It is sports and competition related. Many of the schools participating have cycling teams. Plus, it is a bonding event, similar saying what pub we are meeting at for NAHBS for dinner.

You should play, it would be fun. :)

This is Dukes year to get to the final 4 for sure.

Somehow I was able to rationalize Louisville into the Final Four...we'll see how that turns out.

What a day for Cornell!

First time ever to advance in the NCAA tourney - with a resounding win over Temple.

In other sports news Cornell Men's hockey advances to the conference championship game tonight (7th championship ganme in 10 years; ECAC with an automatic NCAA bid).

Cornell Women's hockey is in the NCAA final Sunday

Cornell Men's Wrestling advances two to the NCAA finals, and is in second place overall.

Prolly the biggest sports Friday in Cornell history.

Let's Go Red!

Luckily it was not televised...you can't spot a team 15 points and expect to win.

My mother, father and brother went to Kansas State.

My wife and I went to the University of Kansas.

I'm not answering the phone for the next few days.

I just called a buddy of mine from work who's a big J-Hawk fan. His wife answered and wanted to know if this was related to the game. I said "No, work" so she put him on...

Dartmouth '83 rooting for you guys - even though I would guess that the last few years you've been beating up on us regularly. Princeton and Penn used to be the class of the Ivies, but lately it's been Cornell. Hopefully this will help cheer things up on campus. From what I read in the paper things have been messy up there.

Duke made it, good came and they rebounded well. The refs came to their rescue a few too many times (that technical was bull crap). They would have probably won regardless, but it seems they get protected a bit.

Rugby: The same old whine that the refs bailed out Duke. How about calling the Baylor moving screens. I do love it when everyone picks for Duke to lose and they keep winning......

I think Duke would have won anyway, but it seemed too ticky tacky down the stretch.

Duke is a good team, I am a hater and I know it.

No I won't be there. I was raised as a HUGE basketball fan while growing up in Saginaw, Michigan but over the years my interest has waned almost completely....not sure if it's been 30 years of exposure to Texas high school football or what but I now watch almost NO collegiate or pro basketball and NO high school ball at all. I watched the last 5 minutes or so of each of the sweet 16 games, about all that interested me. Loved the video on the NCAA site, made MY style of watching about perfect!

Plays golf 2-4 times a week, walks MILES every day, and works out for an hour and a half 5 days a week at the gym! She's a wonderful Mom and person too and all of her activities only makes her that much more amazing. She was married to a basketball coach for 30 of their 52 married years and I think she maybe just feels closer to my Dad when she's at a game....PLUS...she LOVES to give the officials HELL!

I hadn't talked to her in a couple of weeks so I gave her a call a few weeks ago but she couldn't talk....she was at the PAC 10 tournament! Gotta love it!
