for any of you college basketball junkies, i have created a group on the espn.com tournament challenge for filling out brackets. the group is titled "Giant Pumpkin Growers". just hit the "join a group" selection and scroll down the list of groups until you see the Giant Pumpkin Growers group and submit your entry into this public group. it is free and just for fun to see how we do against each other with our picks. if you did happen to hit the picks right against the nationwide challenge, the winner gets $10,000. my entry is under the name Shenoha. you can check out each others picks too for curiosity sakes. my final four picks are Texas to play Kansas in a rematch from today with Texas winning to play against UConn who i picked to beat Boston College. and i have UConn to win it all over Texas with a predicted final score of 74 to 66. i love march madness.
good luck in your office pools too to those who participate.

Utah State is playing the Washington Huskies in the 1st Round on Thursday. I'm sorry to bring the bad news, Cliff.

Just think of what an upset it will be!!! ;-)

Is anyone going to pony up a prize for the overall bracket winner? (Like, a seed...)

frank,
fill out your bracket on the tourny challenge on espn.com then hit "create or join a group" selection. a list will pop up of all groups. instead of scrolling page after page of groups, use the search option it shows and put in Giant Pumpkin Growers and it will pop up to the group and then you hit join this group button.

good idea cliff...he who smelt it, dealt it. lol. what seed are you going to pony up for the prize? lol. i do not have any quality proven seeds left besides the ones i am growing. the rest went to our seed auction. i will put up one of my 2 1333 connolly 2005 seeds. it is unproven but great genetics being a 1068 wallace x 1253 sperry. i can throw in a couple 624 Peters 2005 (1446 eaton x self) also. if anyone else wants to kick in some seeds, that is cool. if not...no biggie. braggin' rights is my ultimate prize to feed my already inflated ego.

I think we need to limit ourselves to one bracket each, for "contest" purposes... if you have more than one in there you ought to remove the others, or declare (ahead of time) which one you want to count...

I put up my 5 entries, I do them every year ( for fun). I'm not trying to win any seed Cliff, I got more than I'll ever plant now....LOL.
I had my entries made up & then I saw Shazzys post & I thought it would be cool to keep track of them on a Giant Pumpkin site so I moved them to his group ( great idea Shazzy). I'm just in the group for fun, no seed contest.....Oh Yea!!! Go Bucks !!!!!!!!!
