		I set up a public group for the message boards, at ESPN. 
Group name:  FBHW MB
 
Group Motto:  Don't be a dick
 
Now go sign up and bow to my superiority at picking winning basketball teams

		I'll have you know I picked the Final Four and winner correctly last year.  By that I mean I have a snowballs chance in hell to repeat this year.  I'll sign up anyway though.
	 
	
	
Well, I guess that we all learned a lesson today. That it's what's inside a person that counts. And that on the inside, midgets are thieving little bastards.

		Well.... I'm off to a great start this week.  
Apparently there's an "Official" FBHW group, so rather than split our resources, join this one instead
 http://games.espn.go.com/tcmen/frontpage    
Password:  I d i o t s  (No spaces)
 
yeah.... Biff ?  The word censor with the ambulance drivers was pretty funny about a month ago, now it's just annoying

***by the way.  I joined this just now.  It's not I d i o t s with an upper case I.  Do lower case.

		Haha, don't tell me you picked that, I can see MSU making it there with a little luck, but U of M would have to do a near impossible to get there. I'm thinking 1 maybe 2 wins of U of M this year, but it is a considerable improvement from the last 10 years.

Queenie since you're not allowed to join the "Official" show bracket I welcome you to mine with open arms.
 
And yes,  I really did pick a U of M  MSU final.  Why not right ?  It's somewhat semi likely

Titan being sweet to me.  You really made my day.  Seriously.    
AND
 
Allowed my ass.  Somebody shouldn't have given out the password.  I'm in on both brackets.  
 
Edit:  Titan, picking an underdog is how you win these things.  I'm sure you already knew that, but I've won a few by doing the same thing.

		I pick underdogs, just not 10 seeds, as they don't win often and no 10 seed has ever made it to the final four (in fact only 5 teams ranked 8 seed or lower have ever made it to the final four), and only 3 teams that weren't in the AP top 25 have ever won it all. 
 
OK, I'm gonna stop with the info now, cause I don't want to give out too much help.

		It looks like there's a 3rd Free Beer and Hot Wings group as well, if you search the groups and type in the show name you'll find it. 
 
 
And, so where is a schedule of which games are on which channel at which time  ?

		That's cause we are good and aren't missing any yet! Actually so far 4 of my 10 haven't missed a pick yet. 
Freebeer has already missed 3

I actually had Illinois in the sweet 16 on the original one I did. Then I learned/remembered that Frazier was hurt, so I had them win 1, then done. Good thing I changed my mind!

		I got screwed in the second round... But I just looked and my bracket that I made for fun that had every possible upset in the game currently has 100 pts, Producer Joe's bracket has 90....yea that's right Producer Joe could have did better by picking every upset possible...

Have you looked at his? He has every upset, except has Illinois winning it all.

		I just looked at mine a little closer... I have 4 wrong total in the East, South, and West regions. I have 9 in the midwest region alone. 
 
Good news is that 7 Eliete 8 teams are still alive, and all 4 of the FF are still there.... I may be ably to make up a little ground. (I'm in 167th place in the show's group)

		I'm 5th on the show's group.  Hot Wings is 4th.  I looked a little closer at mine and his too.  I screwed up picking Marquette 3 deep (i've already had my little screaming fit over that), but we have different pics in all four divisions.

You're actually both tied for second place. Well done so far.
 
It look like the ones doing the best this year didn't pick many upsets. For example, HW has All four 1 seeds, all four 2 seeds, all four 3 seeds, three 4 seeds and a 5 (Purdue, which I think most people saw beating Washington) in the Sweet 16.
