There are 667 Farkers participating in the two Fark groups on CBSSportsline.com...

I'll update the combined standings each morning, or if I'm around whenever CBS does an update.

Combined standings can be found here (pops)

Don't forget to submit your brackets before noon EST today.

WalkingCarpet: 667 Farkers

Dammit, one too many!

I accidentally entered the second pool to see how many Farkers were in it. I didn't fill the bracket out, but I couldn't figure out how to leave the group.

Thanks for setting everything up, WC. Quality entertainment and all that... just sorry I was too sleepy to get into the haiku abuse this a.m.

SmackLT		2007-03-15 11:34:14 AM

I'm on it, thanks!

No problem, when you join the group, change your display name to your Fark ID for maximum fun-ness (Options > Personal, Your Name).

As a VIP member on CBS's March Madness on Demand, I'm only the 37,444th person in line!

I forgot how much that sucks.

Sumpinlikedat		2007-03-15 11:50:49 AM

MY BRACKET CAN KICK YOUR BRACKET'S BUTT!!

(yeah, right... the only reason I won our bet last year is because my husband picked Tennessee to go to the Final Four)

Quick1		2007-03-15 12:06:27 PM

Damn, how is Texas Tech/BC blacked out in Minnesota?

Quick1		2007-03-15 12:09:06 PM

Man, the sound is really cutting out for the Davidson/Maryland game on the internet.

WalkingCarpet		2007-03-15 12:14:35 PM

15,351th Zzzzzz...

WalkingCarpet		2007-03-15 12:15:12 PM

1th = 1st, duh.

kliq		2007-03-15 12:22:25 PM

Wooo, here we go!

stebain		2007-03-15 12:23:38 PM

Davidson has their Carson Palmer moment!

WalkingCarpet		2007-03-15 12:24:31 PM

You have to be farking kidding me, CBS is using Windows Media?

Q. Will this work on a Mac?
A. Mac users can view MMOD using Firefox 2.0 but the stream will not be optimized and result in a "choppy" video. For the best experience we recommend using a PC with IE browser 6.0 or higher.

Fark you CBS, get with the times already and deploy an OS and browser neutral player.

Time to get back in line I guess >=|

MCStymie		2007-03-15 12:25:27 PM

Have three brackets here at work, two online.

All five have MD over Davidson...

/GO TERPS!
//Seriously...Please win this one.

I remembered to click early so I'm in already. The announce bozos are talking about their pregame points to make for the Stanford-Louisville game. And the video just cut out.

tjk420		2007-03-15 12:26:39 PM

Oregon over UNC

Petulant Dwarf		2007-03-15 12:26:44 PM

Yes lets all discuss people who are better at something than we are, and what they are better at.

Staypuft_Mushmallow_Manz		2007-03-15 12:26:46 PM

Xavier of Cincinnati is going all the way. Seriously. Really.

/not really.

Rocktacula		2007-03-15 12:27:40 PM

[my school] is better than [your school]!
No way a [9-16] seed is gonna upset a [1-8] seed this year!
We finally have all the pieces, this is [school name]'s year!
[player name] can carry [school] all the way just like Danny Manning!

/should cover it for you.

TheBigKahuna0		2007-03-15 12:28:15 PM

seems like everyone in my pool picked duke to be in the elite 8 (at least). looks like i can claim victory already

Did they blackout games last year on NCAA MMOD? I don't remember them doing that. Sucks.

vroomazoom		2007-03-15 12:32:02 PM

I WON!!

culturemock		2007-03-15 12:32:08 PM

Games generally start around 12:30 and I'm generally out of contention by about 2:45PM.

WalkingCarpet		2007-03-15 12:32:11 PM

embo:

I'm in but now I don't get any "watch" links, just a Gamecenter link and preview links.

Yes, I'm going to keep complaining until I'm watching.

Oregon over UNC

Whoa. I finished my bracket, scratched my head at having Oregon in the final. Didn't think anyone else had that one. But I've got them losing to OSU.

flavor of the month		2007-03-15 12:33:14 PM

in three minutes of the maryland game i was able to watch they got down 8-4. will the terps succomb to a lesser opponent?

can the terps continue their domination of this thread?

i dont know! i'm off to 3 straight hours of meetings!!!

Rocktacula		2007-03-15 12:33:41 PM

Stanford is not good.

Eleanor Rigby		2007-03-15 12:33:54 PM

I just can't believe UCONN is out already...Oh wait I went to school there yes I can.

/at least the women know how to play basketball.
//too bad nobody really cares.

Yeah, wasn't there a cheat to get around that?

TheBigBadCrystallineEntity		2007-03-15 12:35:44 PM

oregon = overrated

stebain		2007-03-15 12:35:53 PM

Damn, they changed to the Louisville-Stanford game.

DrBenway		2007-03-15 12:35:59 PM

Hell, it's not even giving me the meter. Which Mac OS are you running?

mathmatix		2007-03-15 12:37:32 PM

rochambeau with the 3... davidson within a point... maryland looks good early

Jack31081		2007-03-15 12:37:40 PM

maryland, texas tech & louisville in the early games.

/knows nothing about college ball but loves march madness

WalkingCarpet		2007-03-15 12:37:52 PM

DrBenway:

X 10.4.9

Now I'm trying it on my PC in IE and I can get to the video screen but there are no links to "Watch It".

They're all "Gamecenter" or "Preview" links.

Anyone else have this problem or am I just retarded or both?
