March Madness

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!

Couldn't not come back for this:)

This year I used the ESPN game preview button to look at all the stats, and the strengths and weaknesses. I filled out Midwest last, in the early hours of the morning. And boy does it show. ;) Too many red lines. :mad:

Most of the time I just chose the team on the top. It made it easy and fast. I am doing poorly now which is unfortunate. But, it is just a game.

I thought I knew what I was doing by picking these teams.... I guess I didn't. It was all pretty much personal feeling

It was an insane day. Brackets are busted all around. But that's what makes it so great! :D

I'm a die hard Michigan State fan, but knowing that a team like Middle Tennessee State has a chance to defeat them is what makes every game so intense.

Welp with the Maryland win there are no perfect brackets left on ESPN.

This tournament was amazing! From an unthinkable comeback to a historic blowout and pretty much everything in between including countless buzzer beating game changers, all culminating fittingly in one of the greatest championship games ever!

This was the first time I've followed the entire thing from start to finish, and I had a blast! Thank you to everyone who did a bracket, we had the biggest group ever which was great! And thank you to everyone who hung out at the game chats, that was so much fun adding real time reactions as everything unfolded!

Congratulations to gia for winning the bracket contest! \:D/
