PhogBlog March Madness Pool
Enter the PhogBlog Group in the Las vegas Journal-Review March Madness contest.
This one is a little different than most of those going around the internet. Instead of having your Elite 8 or Final Four teams knocked out in the first or second round, resulting in games of no interest to you, you pick each round after the previous round’s games have been played.
In other words, every game counts.
Go to the LVRJ registration page, register, and click on My Groups. Click on “Join Public Group” and search for “PhogBlog.”
Then pick away for Round One.
What do you win?
Pick all games correctly, and the LVJR says it will fork over $100,000. (About the same chance as you would have facing off against Tiger in match play.)
Garner the most points in the PhogBlog group, and you will bask in PB glory for 12 full months.
Good luck. You will need it against the PB’s regular cast of luminarias.
Hint: Take KU in Round 1, and you will be perfect for at least a while, depending on the length of the other Thursday morning games. I promise.

After one day of action, JustFowler of Overland Park has the lead in the PhogBlog pool, correctly picking every game but one: k-state over USC. For the complete standings, go to: http://lasvegas.collegebasketball.upickem.net/collegebasketball/fans/grouphome.asp?Group=MyGroupNew&groupguid={B6C712F1-4BF9-4DEF-BAC0-D32AB5914F89}

With the tournament having passed the half-way point in games played (33 of 64), we have a three way tie at the top with 50 points (25 correct picks out of 32): jpc (PhogBlog’s founder), j rapport and wonedad. First day leader justFowler is one of eight players one game back with 48 points. We might not be REAL good, but we are comprtitive.

After two rounds, our leader is jmacYO (from Kerrville, TX, perhaps?) with 100 of a possible 128 points. But it is a precarious lead over jpc1 and wonedad (98 points) and five others at 96. http://lasvegas.collegebasketball.upickem.net/collegebasketball/fans/grouphome.asp?Group=MyGroupNew&groupguid={B6C712F1-4BF9-4DEF-BAC0-D32AB5914F89}

Wow, what a game! That first 15 minutes was like nothing I’ve ever seen before in a college basketball game. Got a little close toward the end, but again this team showed some toughness down the stretch.
Can’t wait til Monday!
