Street, how about an update after the Sweet 16 is determined?
Name - current points - potential points, etc?
(just to give you something to do?)
With such a SWEET avatar how can I refuse?! I will endeavor to do so!

Place - Bracket Name - 1st rd pts - 2nd rd pts - Winner - Pts - Possible Points
Apologies for formatting but it's a copy and paste to avoid extra typing!
Bonus Info:
Place- Bracket Name- Remaining teams in the: Sweet 16 - Elite 8 - Final 4
1 Dwayne Chun's Bracket - 11/6/3
2 Bohica - 10/5/3
3 The Lep - 11/6/3
4 Johns Hopkins isn't in it?!? - 11/6/2
4 Visionist - 9/5/2
6 My Other Bracket Joind the ACC - 10/7/4
6 Bell's Spectacular Bracket - 10/6/3
6 DG's Off the Wall Picks - 10/5/2
9 *Street Legal - 11/6/4
9 The Consortium - 10/6/3
9 Mannequin's Killer Picks - 11/6/3
12 One Armed Bracket - 9/7/4
13 Floyd's Unbelievable Bracket - 7/5/3
14 Stillgard's Slammers - 7/5/2
14 I'mABrickAndI'mDrowningSlowly - 9/4/2
Bonus Nuggets:
- Our picks have between 7 and 11 remaining Sweet 16 teams; 5 with 11
- We all have at least 4 of the Elite 8 still alive but nobody's Elite 8 are all alive; One Armed Bandit and Master Darque are tops with 7 each
- We all have at least 2 Final 4 still alive; Myself, One Armed Bandit, and Master Darque have our Final 4 intact so far
- 2 of our pickers have had their eventual winner eliminated already - Manager and Mannequin
- A good majority of us fell for Gonzaga, and I was wishing I could repick my bracket after the Southern game, with 8 of 15 of us having them in the Elite 8, 2 in the Final 4, and one (Mannequin) had them in the final game and even winning it; I had them losing to Ohio State in the Elite 8
- FGCU broke most of our brackets early, nobody picked them so they hit us all again in round 2 by winning! 10 of our 15 had Georgetown in the Elite 8, 8 of us had them in the Final 4, and 1 had them losing in the Finals; I had them losing to Michigan in the Elite 8
- Yahoo has 3,329,637 registered brackets; 5 people have 55 of a possible 64 points so far, 13 have 54 points, 32+ have 53 points; of the top 50, which is all they allow you to see, the highest "Possible Points" on the list are 2 people with 179 and a perfect bracket would be 192!

I feel like the guy who has a 10-0 during the tourney, but has yet to run into Meat or Pepp, so you know you don't have an actual chance of TC'ing.

Don't be discouraged! As long as Louisville, Michigan State, Indiana, Florida, Miami (FL), Kansas, or Syracuse don't "Cut down the net" in the end you could still win this .

*points at Wayne* You spoke the word that shall never again be spoken: T**S. The wrath of Sue will soon be upon you. Especially if someone decides to try and organize another in Aradi!

Well if my math is correct if Michigan can beat Syracuse than I should have this thing on lock as I was the only one who picked them getting into the final game! Never doubt the ferocity of a Wolverine, especially if your some sort of "Jayhawk"! What a game that was!!!
Now if this team, of Freshman and Sophomores at it's core, stays together we can do this again next year! With some good fortune we may win this year as Louisville lost it's second best guard. I feel bad for the kid and hope he makes a full recovery. My good fortune was to have stood up to get a drink and CBS deciding not to replay it 50 times, like the Joe Theisman or Tim Krumrie injuriesd so I didn't have to see it.

Congrats! If Michigan beats Syracuse, you deserve our league victory. I never would have picked Michigan in a million years to win their region.

Ware is more like Louisville's 5th best guard, but I get your point, and the Cardinals will definitely miss his energy coming off the bench. However, they may rally around the adversity and use it as motivation. I still think they're heavy favorites no matter who they play.

I just saw this line, and it made me laugh out loud. I'm trying to embrace the role of villain. I'm just not that good at it! Old ADM warriors should enjoy beating up on poor Meat for the next few tourneys...
