2023 VFV Bracket Contest (via ESPN)

[gcotton]

As we have done in the past, I created a private group contest on espn.com. Only 1 entry per person and must be in prior to the 1st game on the tournament on Thursday. Play-in games will not count.

I'm sure Dave will jump in with some prizes, but this is free to join and mainly for some bragging rights😉

The link takes me to ESPN but not to the VFV Contest.

What is the name of the group?

Will one need a password to join?

[gcotton]

Fixed it now

Crap... Let me fix it, sorry

[gcotton]

The link above has been fixed. Thanks Alfredo for bringing it to my attention. The Group Password is also listed above.

I entered the group thru the link but did not need a PW. Anyone else have the same thing?

[barnstorm]

In. Just in time! Taking Memphis to win it all. I saw what they did to Houston.

Looks like we had 27 entrants...but just 24 submitted brackets
We're playing for a $100 gift card to NCAAshop.com (or Fanatics, as I've been using that more) and a ViewFromVegas shirt (need to find a supplier who does the classic Charlie Harper version...that's my goal for summer of 2023).

UGH!

I had an issue so had to create another entry and looks like that one never got entered. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

[JPdawg]

Got in with a couple hours to spare, but 'Zona took care of my bracket post haste. I thought that with no more Lute or Sweaty Sean, their choking days were behind them. (Another) sorry year for the Pac12 looking like the best wager.

[gcotton]

Kind of funny that the guy that created this post and the ESPN group, failed to fill out a bracket🤦🏻♂️... Have been so wrapped up in my own pool, and a few other "money" contests, that I somehow forgot to fill out this one... Unreal...

Well, best of luck to the 24 that are entered, lol... And thanks Dave for offering up a great prize once again.

Here's the updated standings after the conclusion of Sunday's action and heading to the Sweet 16. Of course, 6 of the top contenders have already lost their champion...should be a great run to the finish (though I'm blocked from being able to catch yisman even if I have the champ in Houston LMEAO:
