OK, I'll go ahead and throw it out there: I'm starting the Official MT2 Brackets contest. For those that don't know, it's the biggest sporting event in the U.S. this time of year. It is the Men's College Basketball Championship tournament. You don't have to follow College Basketball or even follow sports for that matter (see Moosetown's post in chat thread). The tournament starts with 64 teams with each round eliminating 1/2 of the teams. The goal of the brackets is to correctly pick the most winning teams and the eventual Champion. Points are awarded for the most correct picks. The most points wins! I started a group on ESPN called "MT2 Forum". To play: a. Simply follow this link to our Group Page: games.espn.go.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/en/group?groupID=112289Group: MT2 ForumPassword: mytown2b. Create an account on ESPN. c. Join the group. d. There are rules on how to play, but you are simply picking who you think will win each game. Or if the Team Name sounds cool, or if you like the uniform colors, or throw darts... etc. Your picks will LOCK on THURSDAY - so get in now! There is even an App if you want to play on your iDevice:  Sample bracket:  |

Awesome, Nan! I knew you'd show, and I think I can guess who you are picking to go all the way! BTW, I follow all of the Florida teams, but not really a FSU fan. I'm actually pulling for USF (U.South Florida). They have a "play in" game tomorrow night. Woot! Then Gators after that. Good luck! |
