Actually as I write this I'm only at about 7,500 feet, here at the resort in Big Sky MT. I will be approaching the lofty elevation tomorrow as I "shred the corduroy" (that's ski-dude speak for skiing). Big Sky is the official ski resort of the 'Ganza, except that they don't know that yet and they aren't paying us anything for me to say that.
Anyway, it seems we are well on our way to another exciting 'Ganza. There are some high scores being posted, and with over 300 prognosticators, we could see near record scores again this year. Too bad mine won't be among them.
I officially hate the following teams: Arizona, Baylor, U Conn, Kentucky, Drake, Temple, and Kent State. I may add others to the list as the days progress.
Happy Prognosticating! Good luck.
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.
