Shameless Plug, Though for Something Pretty Cool
First and Foremost, see the BPG comments below...
OK, for the last 5 years I have been in a pool with about 45-50 other people. It works like this-- every person selects a slate of 5 college basketball teams. The objective is to amass the highest win total with your chosen teams. The only caveat is that your slate cannot have a combined total of more than 100 wins from the previous season, thereby preventing you from picking Duke, UCONN, Mich. State, Gonzaga, Kentucky, and nothing but other perennial powerhouses who are good for ~30 wins a year. This year, three guys have Albany, and more miraculously, all three guys have the exact same slate-- Stanford, Duke, Memphis, and Texas, to go along with the Danes.
I'm getting killed, thanks to the terrible job Bobby Lutz has done at Charlotte this year. Actually, I really have no basis for this, except for the fact that the 49ers, who won 21 games last year in the C-USA bailed for the A10 this year. Oh, and I listened to Donkey V who had Charlotte in his pre-season Top-25. Yeah, I'm an idiot. My other teams are UCONN(vict), St. John's, Duke and Texas.
Why do I post this stuff? No, not because you actually care. However, it is a great pool and something to always think about when watching non-stop college hoops as I do, especially this time of year.
If anyone is interested in joining for next year, drop me a line-- I will also post a message on the BPF board well before the start of next season.
