Having trouble logging into my Yahoo! account. I heard about some cleansing if you don't use it, but I didn't think they were serious.

90 days of no logging in and ZAP, you're locked out. You should be able to sign up for the same name again though.

I need to brag while I can, because it might not stay this way.

I'm #1!!! Whoooooooo! Or tied for #1 that is... who is this mysterious Pillow_Actuary?

I am the mysterious pillow_actuary, the recently inducted Chick! :grin: I don't know how I have been able to tie for 1st right now. I've never been in the lead of any pool, so I'm pretty pumped, although I doubt I'll stay there. What a great set of games though!

Wow ... A Chick and she knows sports! Sounds like quite a catch! :smile:

Well, I don't know if I KNOW sports, but I like sports and like to follow them. I haven't watched b-ball until the tourney started...guess I'm getting lucky for now. :smile:

Despite being tied for 2nd out of 29, I'm only in the 85th percentile of all Yahoo! brackets. Shows how much we actuaries know. :smile:

Anyone else finding their point total incorrect on the Yahoo thing? I think I'm supposed to have 34, but it's saying I have 33. And I checked all the picks and it adds up to 34 to me...maybe they haven't updated it yet? Maybe I forgot how to count simple numbers?

Nevermind...just saw that they have different scoring for each round. My bad.

Let the premature bragging begin! Who's your daddy! Who's your daddy! Drz! Drz is your daddy! Whoooooooooo!

Who picked Indiana over Duke?

Hanse

a no-brainer prediction

Cael Sanderson at 197.

I don't think anyone picked Indiana, but anyone picking Duke NOT to win it all should be happy they can't.
Like sb_jim.

Drz, we're tied for 2nd and I'm at the 95th percentile. Maybe we're not so bad.

You would probably be higher if you didnt pick UPenn to be in the Final Four, and have CInci winning it.

Though if it happened, we'd be calling you a genious, :grin:

That's not me, my team is "Awesome Baby" (a la Dick Vitale if anyone hadn't figured that out.) :smile: It's looking pretty good for me... the only final four team I've picked that's been eliminated is Duke, and I had them losing to Kansas.

Congrats to those of you who picked Kent State... that's not a lucky pick, that's smart pickin'.

I agree. Kent State is legitamately good. They were underseeded. But the difference between a 3 and a 10 or 11 in college basketbal these days is miniscule.

Well, the Chick didn't do so badly in this pool, huh? Third place out of 29.
Congrats to the winner...can't remember who's picks it was. Congrats anyway. ;)
