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.

Pooh-Bah Wants to be Ben Woodside when he grows up




KU 84 - NDSU 74

Great game for sure. Was tough rooting against my old fave the Jayhawks, but not too tough. I was happy to see that we (and yes, I can say "we" because I'm an alum) held our own in our first game on the big stage, forcing one of the best teams in the nation to play an excellent game in order to beat us.

The picture is how I might have turned out had I any athletic abilities.

Pooh, you've got tons of athletic ability. I've seen a picture of you making a reverse dunk (of course to get that picture you had to stand on a step ladder, but that's splitting hairs)

Oh yes, I forgot about my ability to dunk, which is shown here and here.

Don't know what you're talking about with the ladder thing though. The only visual evidence of a ladder is here.
