I got a notifcation from ESPN.com that the braket contest is now live so I went ahead and set up the Surly group.  Entry fee will be $30 and we'll pay out the top 3 finishers.  You can join at the below link and the password is Disu.

"The odds of filling out a March Madness men's tournament bracket with the winner of every game correctly picked are 1 in 9.2 quintillion. This means that the odds of a perfect NCAA bracket are 1 in 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 (9.2 quintillion) if you just guess or flip a coin. If you know a little something about basketball, the odds are 1 in 120.2 billion"

Just sayin

The only prediction I'll make is that Texas and Tennessee will NOT face each other. One, the other, or both will lose their first game. Because it is impossible for them to face each other and both lose.

I'll bet real money on that. 'bout tree fiddy.

Any takers?

money sent - I have no idea what I'm doing. I bet I've watched less CBB this year than I ever have - which means I'll probably do better than I usually do. 

This is me.

Probably will have my 8 yr old do my picks based on color and mascot, I’ll donate tonight


Btw is college bball a week behind? Seems like usually this past weekend is the first weekend of madness.

seems like it to me.  I had spring break last week, and I was muttering how I could have spent time productively watching the tourney.

In. Also, I am running the "pick a team on each seed line" contest for the 3rd straight year, 

BigOrange if you wanna do this let me know, and I'll send you $5 for the net difference in entries.

?

The tournament this year lines up with 2019.

2013 was the first time they pushed it back where the tournament could end on the 2nd Monday of April (April 8). It always finished on the first Monday of April (or last Monday in March) before then. So yes it’s “late” compared to the ‘90s and ‘00s, but it’s been like this for the last decade.

In and paid, motherbitches.
I have jury duty this week. Who wants some action on whether or not I get called in Thursday or Friday?

I hope it’s Thursday, Friday starting at 11CDT and someone goes 12 angry men on you and you miss the best 2 days in sports


My wife got called in this upcoming Monday..supposed to get slapped with a winter storm that day of course. Shit should be voluntary. Our lives shouldn’t be diverted because of some fuck off

I’ve heard the odds of advancing to be an actual juror are pretty low after the first round

The first time I had jury duty, I avoided the call all week...then got called in Friday morning. Then sat around doing nothing in the waiting room all day...and got called into a courtroom at like 3 or 4pm. I was still on the jury as of 5pm, so had to come back Monday morning.

First thing the judge announces: the case was settled. Got to fuck off of work that day, so that part was cool.

Nobody should want jurors who want to be there.

Do your duty and suck it up.

Anyone got any squares pools that need filling? My usual pool guy forgot to email me until after the squares were already full. 

@South Austin‘s mom has some holes that need filling. But that’s a different type of gambling.

ok i am showing that i have received 55 payments thus far.  if i have "liked" your payment on venmo, that means it is accounted for.  for those who have paid via paypal, i think i have messaged you all to confirm that i have your payment.  if you've paid via paypal and i haven't confirmed it, let me know.
