2023 TERRAPIN NATION MARCH MADNESS CONTEST!!

Post by SunshineSue » Tue Mar 07, 2023 10:58 am

College conference basketball championships are tipping off this week and means that it's almost time for the NCAA Men's basketball tournament and along with it, Terrapin Nation's annual March Madness bracket contest. Bring on the Madness!

The final selections for the tournament will be announced this Sunday, 3/12, at 6 pm ET on CBS. Then it's time to fill in your bracket with your best guesses on who will win it all this year. As past TN winners have proven, you don't have to be a basketball genius to win; anything can happen and it usually does. And it sure makes it a lot more fun to watch the games when you've got a bracket to follow! :cheer:

I've renewed the 2022 pool, so if you were in then you should be getting an email invitation. Everyone is welcome to join in the game, including family and friends of TN members. This is a FREE private pool at Yahoo ( https://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo. ... /joingroup ). The pool name is Terrapin Nation March Madness; the ID number is 19899 and the password is bobweir. You can register now and will be able to fill out your bracket shortly after the selection special is over on Sunday, one bracket per person. Brackets must be completed prior to the start of the first game on Thursday, 3/16; the play-in games on Tuesday/Wednesday aren't included in the contest. Once you've created a bracket, Yahoo assigns a silly name to it like Sue's Stupendous Bracket, which you can edit in your team settings once the bracket is open, if you'd like. So head over to Yahoo, sign up, fill out a bracket and enjoy the games!

The most important prize in this contest is getting bragging rights for the year, but that's not all! The 1st place winner's fine picking will also earn them a sculpted, two-sided Grateful Dead mug and the 2nd place winner will get a pack of 50 Grateful Dead vinyl stickers. So get those brackets filled out and get ready for the Big Dance to begin!! :dance

My picks are in

For whatever that's worth

But hey I just cant get into NBA hoops anymore (even tho Celtics were having a great year) so March madness is where it's at for a while...

And I'm just not into hockey that much on TV...rather go see a minor league or college game live than an NHL game on TV...again it's sad cuz the Bruins are having a great year...

Red Sox & Pats...eh...not so much lately...prob only way I'm going to a Sox game is if there is a Jerry or GD nite @ fenway...

I'm in for the sat deadco fenway show & still holding out for tix for the sun fenway show tho i do see at least 1 to 3 pairs pop up on cot ea week...it'll happen...I just gotta be patient...I missed a great pr of Turf B seats for face last week...I'm in Turf C for sunday...so there's that at least..

Still on pats season ticket waitlist...prob will end up willing that spot in line to my kids lol...I don't even know how long it's been & I'll start out with a pr of tix up in upper corner of the stadium where pink Floyd sent the pig down on a wire from :rofl

But I do go to a pats game about every 3 years or so...its a whole day adventure with tailgating, etc but worth it...

It says my bracket is complete, but not sure if it's saved or not so I can leave the page. Gaaahhhh
Well I was noticing the other night, for instance, that when I'm going through pistachios, opening pistachios, that the hard to open ones, I don't bother with them anymore
