Anyone up for tossing some small goodies (drink coupons, lounge passes, small vouchers, etc.) into a pot for the top finishers?

I'm in. FWIW, we used Yahoo! last year, and it was a LOT easier to register and select picks. The flash applet that EPSN uses kept hanging for me.

Chexfan set up a Yahoo one, I think the info is in one of those threads I linked in my original post.
Also, in ESPN when the Flash program is loading, there is a link to make picks using a non-flash version.

OK, I joined with the Long Beach winner. The game I'm most struggling with is Southern Illinois versus Texas Tech. Tech is heavily favored, but maybe people are placing too much faith in Bobby Knight. Plus I'm a SIU alumni.

I'm quite excited about this year's tournament. Being a Cincy Alum, it's nice to see that they had such a great season and a first seeding!
And, thanks for setting up the FT group! For the first time, nobody at the office wanted to run the Basketball pool, and I always like to see how my picks fare aginst other people.

CVG better be real careful, UCLA could knock them off in Rd 2. UCLA has the talent and with the right push can beat anyone in the tourney. Mind you this is coming from a USC alum who despises the Bruins. I'm just glad that UCLA isn't in the SC bracket. If UCLA can get by CVG, they have a clear path to ATL
