If there's something on your mind that just doesn't seem to fall into any of the other categories, well, it quite likely belongs inside Joe Finneman's marketplace. Think of it as a general store for general discussions!
TKD reminded me of this. We did it last year and the year before that, so who's up for round 3?
Here's the instructions I posted last time:
Basically, whoever wants to play will fill out a "Bracket" of which teams you think will win each game. If you pick the most games correctly, you'll receive a prize! (Probably $250 in ToO money.) Sign up as soon as possible!
Here is how to sign up:
Click the link above.
If you've ever used ESPN.com before, log into your account. If not, there's a button to sign up for a free one. A pop-up will appear. Fill it out.
Click the the button that says "CREATE AND JOIN". You have now been added to the game.

Oh look, you can sign in with Facebook. ...and then create an ESPN account anyway.

Same here, I just picked names I liked and put Syracuse right to the championship.

Wow, I'm starting to geek out about my picks. This is going to be a blast.

I think I just spent up to two hours on my bracket. My final four are Kentucky, Michigan State, Ohio State, and North Carolina. First year I've had 3 top seeds make it to the final four. Should be interesting.
I spent... less than 5 minutes on mine. UConn, Syracuse, Marquette and UNC in my final four, with Marquette vs. Syracuse in the final.

I have no clue, I haven't seen a college game all season. xD

So far I've gotten one right, one wrong, two possibly right, and one possibly wrong. Almost better than expected for rather arbitrary selections.
The game I would be most interested in besides Syracuse is St. Bonaventure in their first tournament in over a decade.

Heey, I know some people who pick teams to go all the way just because they like them. Sadly, my dad did that, and that was the year they happened to win. xD
