Good idea, pado.

The group name and password as you show them above don't work for me.

Are you sure about the spelling and spacing and uppercasing?

I will say that the ability to pick outcomes is no indicator of knowledge.

If it were, all analysts would be in Vegas making book.

If it were, the secretary who chooses by animal mascots would not win the damn March Madness pool every year.

This is so true. I was working at a golf course a couple of years ago and many of us "in the know" filled out numerous brackets. The winner: A 19 year old cart girl who asked her boyfriend what the mascots were and filled her one bracket out in 5 minutes.

Exactly. This is also our way of defending ourselves going into this so when we make bad picks we can just point to the "lucky" bracket-winning secretary who likes red uniforms.

It's always a guessing game. It's so crazy how often "hot" teams don't mean a thing. Struggling teams all of the sudden show up. And then there's the guess about which 12 seed will beat which 5 seed, because that happens basically every year.

In fact, the #12 seed beats the #5 seed 33% of the time, meaning it happens 4 times every 3 years.

I'm just saying that there are some who equate the ability to predict the outcome of a game with knowledge of the sport and that couldn't be further from the truth.

I've seen it here. The idiotic "Oh yeah? Well if you're so smart tell us who is going to win the SEC Championship in 2009." If the analysts could actually do that, they wouldn't be analysts. They'd be making Vegas money.
