Goon is in. Birddog said he is out this year. So we will need a fill in for him if anyone knows someone. 


Also would give first dibs to anyone on the OC already.

Honestly you don’t gotta watch much. If you watch over the next two weeks and see some of the conference tournaments you will be good. Honestly the seasons I watch more I do worse.

Probably more than most of us. 


Its just looking at seeds, picking your bracket, and then picking the guys on the teams you see advancing furthest who average the most points. Outside the first 2 rounds, where its mostly 1-3 seeds whose players average a lot, it becomes a guessing game of taking the lesser known scorers on those teams or the high scorers on the bad teams.

Same. The endorphins on Thursday morning are for sure the highest of any gambling I do.
