And it's been created.
trying to figure out how to send invites to all who didn't participate last year.
our pool ID# is 143319
pass word is Wyowho? :P

Looks like we only have 6 competitors so far.  We need more people so that my winning bracket will look more legit.

Hmmm. According to that write up, you guys are all pretty much counting on Arizona if you want any chance of a non-Kentucky winner.

Fivethirtyeight gives UK a 41% chance of going all the way.  Which is still huge, but not quite the 50% chance Vegas seems to give them.
