How many pools are you in this year? (Happy March Madness!)
Posted on March 18th, 2010 by Mike under Bacon, march madness
I’m in the Uproxx Pool of Awesome. The Intentional Foul pool. A pool at work. Another pool that a buddy just invited me too. Plus, I refrained from entering two others. Here’s the hitch: one bracket though – only smart way to do it, right?
At 12:20 today – with the tip of BYU vs. Florida – you’re officially out of time. I want to hear how invested everyone got this year. Let me know how many pools you’re in (leave a comment or shoot me an @ reply).
Anyone who entered more than ten pools gets a signed B/W 8 X 10 photo of me eating the bacon explosion – after I win it in the IF pool.
Pictured above, that’s my 2010 NCAA Champ pick.
UPDATE: This might be the worst bracket I have ever filled out. And not going to lie there have been some real dogs in the past. (Friday, Mar. 19 2:41 pm ET)

You’re an impressively sick man, Jerod

I filled out the maximum on ESPN.com (10) and the max on Yahoo (5). I am in another pool where the winners are paid something every game depending on what the last digits of the winners score are. I also have Butler bet to get to the Final Four.

Wow, I feel lazy.

6 on ESPN, and 3 on Yahoo. Upset city.

only 2: One ESPN & one with my cousins
I stopped myself there so I could enjoy the tournament without killing myself over my brackets…and to maintain my sanity.

My bracket is already taking some hits, maybe I should have rethought this strategy. How many different brackets did you guys fill out?
March 18th, 2010 at 3:03 pm
- You had me at hello! haha. I’m actually limiting myself to 3 this year.

I only entered my own group at ESPN: Baconnaise. It’s the 5th or 6th year that I get my site’s “staff” and friends together to play.

Murray State and Old Dominion have already screwed me over 4 hours in. Luckily they only screwed me in my 2 free brackets
March 18th, 2010 at 5:18 pm
only 1, and it feels good!

I’m in 8 random online pools for fabulous cash and prizes and 2 for money pools where i paid to play. Fun stuff. Amazingly, I have probably already lost in all of them.

Somehow I managed to only do 1 this year. I’m so proud of myself. But then again, I did 4 baseball keeper leagues, so I’m not THAT proud of myself
March 18th, 2010 at 5:28 pm
I took it easy this year… I’m only in 5

I have Kentucky winning the 2 pools I’m in. That overtime win vs Miss. State was a scare though. Hopefully they can hold up and Wall can get that championship before he, unfortunately for UK, moves on to the NBA.
P.S. Why isn’t Miss. State in the tourney? And Duke a #2 seed?, the committee needs to wake up and realize Duke will lose in the 2nd round. Like they do every year.

I’m in three pools.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
Just two this year… that’s all I need to win.
March 18th, 2010 at 10:53 pm
Wow, I only did one =P
KU all the way!

I only did 3. Once you get past that number, then you have no idea who to root for in games

1 and I plan on winning it.
March 19th, 2010 at 9:58 am
Two. And after day one, I’m in 41st and 170th place.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:38 am
Sadly, I’m in like 4… and i think I’ve already lost in all of them.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:38 am
I’m in three… with the same picks in all of them of course….
March 19th, 2010 at 10:38 am
Oh, and it’s already busted.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:55 am
belive it or not, only two. and i thonk i’m dead in the water already on both of them.
March 19th, 2010 at 10:58 am
In 3, all slightly different.
