I do and I know a lot of us college baseketball fanatics are out there.
Since I got mad at my mom when i was in elementary school and she wouldn't let me watch the 1985 Championship game between Georgetown and Villanova, I've watched as much as possible of the tournament over the last 25 years.
I no longer enter pools, I gave that up. I am having a March Madness competition for fun and bragging rights. Feel free to join us
Here are the instructions

No prizes or loot. Just for fun and bragging rights
update - cannot edit poll once published - It should read Nova over Georgetown in 1985
There are so many people in need and so many causes that instead of one of your co-workers friends or somebody you don't even like getting a windfall with your hard earned money, I suggest you do like I've done the last few years and donate that to a worthy organization.
Okay, so if you feel inclined to spend money right now I suggest you instead donate $5, $10 or the $20 you would spend on a bracket with an organization like Doctors Without Borders. Or I've been selected as part of the 2010 Birmingham Multiple Sclerosis Society Leadership class and pledged to raise $2,500. I'm at $425 right now.
I would appreciate your help with this endeavor.
Now I bring you some of my favorite March Madness moments. Feel free to add yours in the thread.
2001 Number 15 Hampton beating #2 Iowa State - Iowa State was a powerhouse for a few years. I love the reaction of the Hampton coach jumping and bounding all over the court after the win.
1998 Valpariso beats Mississipi - Bryce Drew, the coaches son, hits a monster three drawn up on a statute of liberty type play to beat the much higher seeded Ole Miss Rebels.
1991 - Richmond is the first #15 seed to beat a #2 as they took out the heralded Orangemen led by Billy Owens
1989 - Princeton almost being the only #16 seed to beat a one versus Georgetown.
North Carolina State beating Houston in 1983 - who can forget the missed shot and follow up dunk by Lorenzo Charles to beat Phi Slamma Jamma
And who can forget the 1992 Grant Hill to Christian Laettner pass and shoot that puts Duke over Kentucky
Those are some of my great memories. Vote in our poll. Join our league. Donate the money you would have used in a bracket.
Cheers and good luck to your team this week
