I know, I know.  It hasn't started yet... but it's getting very close!  By now some of you have probably drawn out your brackets and placed your bets, whether they be monetary or just bragging rights for yet another friendly competitive bet.

YOU CAN GET SCORE UPDATES ON YOUR PHONE!!!  No more turning down meetings or rescheduling with clients so you can run back to your computer or tv and tune in.

Every year my brother creates a bracket in the Yahoo! Sports and allows other family and friends to get it on it.  Although I don't follow many teams but my own Montana Grizzlies throughout the year, who sadly didn't even come close to matching up to the #1 Big Sky Conference seed Portland St, this is the chance for me to catch up and see who's who in the NCAA.

Good luck to all you armchair shooters.  Feel free to comment on your choices.  I have three #1's in the finals and one #3 seed. 

Just another use for text messaging... I'm happy! 

"GAME ON"
