Hi everyone. We are very heartbroken to report that Jeanne’s (BedofRoses) mom, Gerry, died peacefully at home this morning after a year-long battle with cancer. She was 87. Many, if not all of you,...

Congratulations to the winners of this year's Madness!

1st Place - Garrell
2nd Place - Lurker

This is Garrell's third 1st Place win! This is Lurker's second 2nd place trophy.

Great job!

We appreciate all the words of support! We're not going anywhere, but we are excited to see that things will carry on. Thanks RF!

I can't recall a time in recent contest history that everyone still has their team in the Elite Eight.

After 18 years, at the conclusion of the 2024 March Madness contest (and distribution of all trophies earned), I am stepping down as the commissioner of all Dark Tower sports contests. This includes...

What a drag! ESPN has a lot going for it, but every year they tinker with shit and make it less intuitive. I’m not sure what happened. Sorry!

Picking is always tough! Hence, the madness part.

I show games staring around 12:30 EST - brackets will lock then!

If you want to get in the game, you have a 2 in 10 chance of taking a trophy...

Same here. Well, except for the "lucky" part. :)



Me too. Countdown to implosion in 3....2.....1.............

Trust me - my team is NEVER in the tourney, so I just adopt as I go. :) It will be fun to watch some upsets, as usual.

For the previous NFL and College Bowl contests, I haven't forgot about you winners. Life is throwing a few curve balls, but we plan to order all winning trophies at the conclusion of March Madness. I...

I'll update the first post with this year's link. Brackets should be live in about 5 days. GET IN THE GAME!!!!

Was it back in the late 80s that the Bills went 3 or 4 times and always came up short? Brutal!



My mother-in-law is a Detroit native, so that would be just fine. :)



We usually find a...

Thanks everyone! And a special acknowledgement to Bev for visiting the thread. I have to admit we kinda geeked out to see him post. :)

Well, Garrell - regardless of who you picked:

Congratulations on the win, Garrell!!!!

This is Garrell's 2nd Bowl Mania victory (2021).

Wow! Epic week for so many! Congrats to the week 17 winners RUBE, amd013, SkippyD023, Lurker, Divemaster, and Oxcy8 (12-4)!!!

Trophies are in reach for many of our players. Make your move!

With all of the options for players (not just Seniors) to change schools, prep for NFL, etc., it does create a watered down bowl system. Maybe the championship games will be less affected - and when...

I haven't been able to say that a lot this season! Good job - contest aside, I hope my Oregon State team puts it to the Irish today! :)

2 weeks left to make your move! Congrats to the week 16 winner Garrell (12-4)!

This is arguably the most interesting contest. Based on points wagered by other Palaver contest members, you can root for your team to lose and actually gain ground.
