You never cease to amaze. This is awesome. To bad my Boilers have sucked since Gene Keady left. Cool game none the less.

Keep up the good work over at Newsvine.

Excellent idea. In the immortal words of the two guys on the Guiness commercial: “Brilliant”!
Now to go purchase the Jayhawks.

BTW, love the interface of the bracket!

Is it possible to put all 300 on Boston College to win?

Its NANO-time!

I was wondering, since it technically says “If anyone you invite ends up winning a Video iPod, you do to,” does that mean that if I invite person a and she invites person b who invites person c. And if person c wins, does that mean that I, person a, person b, and person c win a Video iPod?

I’ve got all my picks and I’m ready to go!

I only wish I had seen the iPod give-a-way connection sooner, only you Mike.

I just filled in my picks. And I gotta say, the interface you’ve built is damn slick. This is a great replacement for the iPod giveaways.

And if any fellow Dukies are reading and want to join a tournament group, drop me an email – rsg4 -at- duke -dot- edu.

It was nice to meet you and Calvin at SXSW – the South by Northwest party was one of the highlights of the weekend.

If only Vanderbilt had made it. /cry. Those #16s for 1 point are so tempting…Too bad one has never before knocked off a #1 seed.

ACoolie: Nope. The invites only go one level deep. :)

Thomas,

Glad to see another Jayhawk passing through Mike’s site.

Picking teams for this was quite difficult. Damn Newsvine, always making me think…

When does Newsvine plan on recognizing revenue (I’m not talking about profits, just revenue of some kind). I don’t see any advert’s yet, so I was just wondering.

(Editor’s Note: Very soon.)

The page doesn’t seem to have any title at all… (The title element in the code is blank with appearing)

Very nice idea though, it’s great to see the Newsvine team will expand with fun events like this :)

Hopefully we’ll see something to do with the World Cup when that comes up (It’s an old sport in America called Soccer… but it’s the number one sport in Europe, and goes by the name of Football)

The previous comment is meant to say ‘with appearing’ … but I forgot about the tag stripping :) sorry ;)

I love the style of tournament…but is there no way to see the picks of the others in your group(s)?

Ah, you listened! …or you were planning this before.

I feel my run on the leaderboard is over. Good times. Thanks!
