Hey all you lovable 'Ganza Prognosticators. We are (and by "we are" I mean "I am") feverishly working on Vol. 17, No. 1 of the critically acclaimed 'Ganza Gazette. We (and by "we" I mean "I") hope to have it published to the 'Ganza site on Friday, February 27, 2009.
This is going to be a great year for the 'Ganza, without a doubt. It is also going to be another banner year for the Pooh-Bah's favorite basketball teams. As you may recall, the Pooh-Bah's favorite team from the days of his youth growing up in Big 8 country, the UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS JAYHAWKS, won the 2008 National Championship. And this year, watch for the Pooh-Bah's alma-mater, the NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY BISON, to sweep through the Summit League tournament, and on to a national championship in their very first year of eligibility!!!
Ah, March!
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.

You are quite funny. I would rather see the Bison win than the Hawker-birds. LOL!!
Gavin,
The Bison are only one win away, can you believe it? Check em out on ESPN 2 tomorrow night at 7:00 and look for memorable performances by Woodside and Winkelman. Go Bison!
JR
