The Basketball Tournament Prediction Extravaganza is a nationwide prediction competition between basketball fans based upon the Annual Men's College Basketball Tournament. We feel the clean family humor, salty wit and sarcasm, and interesting year-to-year statistics make the 'Ganza, as we affectionately call it, one of the most enjoyable tournament contests on the Internet. We hope you join us and come to the same conclusion.

Although the format is similar to an office "pool," the Extravaganza is NOT a pool -- no prize money is awarded! In fact, our slogan is "This Ain't No Pool!" The prognosticator who scores the most points in the 'Ganza is awarded the
Coveted Ostertag Plaque, one of the finest examples of laminated pressboard available and easily the most talked about sports award in my house. The Ostertag Plaque has often been mentioned in the same sentence as the Lombardi Trophy and the Stanley Cup. Especially if you read the previous sentence out loud.

The NEW Wildcats. The Longhorns

Wow, I stand corrected, Mr. Curry went OFF on Wisco and little Davidson, with an enrollment of 1700, rolls into the elite 8...and the Ganza is on it!

The Longhorns from Texas polished off the overrated Cardinal from Stanford. So much for the strength of the Pac-10. UCLA is the lone survivor and if they make it to the Final, Carolina will be waiting. All you Tar Heel fans holler at me!

If you haven't noticed, the Brass is once again being held up by the Director and his so-so picks. The Pooh-bah and the dandy Deputy are hanging out in the lower part of the pack. We look at it this way, we want to be all things to all prognosticators. We are also in a very precarious position, if one of us would happen to hoist the Ostertag, some might cry foul. So, we pick poorly and allow you, yes you, our wonderful prognosticators, to fight for the most wonderful award on the web. The beloved Ostertag!

So, on we go into the final four!!!

Ahem there Mr. Director ... I think your spectacles may need adjusting. I believe I am the one keeping the Brass somewhat respectable....although none of us have too much to brag about....well back to dreaming of the good old days and all those one dollar bills.
