It’s March again. For the 21st year in a row, March is that time of year when we squander 30 minutes daydreaming about NCAA men’s basketball tournament glory by participating in the Earth Wide Moth Tournament Pick’em, L\u2019odeur de Fieldhouse<\/a>, such a pungent event as it is. Like before, we’re still using Fibonacci scoring with points increasing round by round (2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21). You’ll also receive bonus points for upset picks (+1 point for upsets in the first round; +2 for upset picks thereafter).<\/p>\n

Everyone<\/em> (except Elon Musk) is welcome to join, so pass along the invitation. You still have a few days, but time is running out for getting your pets to eat treats that will alleviate decision fatigue, or finding a friend in western West Virginia who can talk you out of rooting for the Atlantic Sun Conference champion. What even are athletic conferences anymore?! <\/p>\n

So, sign up! It’s free to join this year’s group on Yahoo!, L’odeur de Fieldhouse (ID#25110)<\/a>. If you have questions, you can reach me via email at dereknmueller at gmail.com. Invite your friends, frenemies, faux-frenemies, saw sharpeners, amphibious types, crows and crow feeders, school bus drivers, lyric poets, flyers of homemade kites, people who convert VHS videos to digital formats for a living, banjo strummers, night sky oglers, Bluetooth dentists, soakers of beans, teacup Pom trainers, etc. The group has space for the next forty-something who sign up. Egoless, impermanent stakes: reputations are made (and quickly forgotten) year after year.<\/p>\n

Yahoo! Tournament Pick’em<\/a>
\nGroup: L’odeur de Fieldhouse (ID# 25110)

Firm up your selections any time between the selection show on Sunday evening, March 16, and first tip of the round of 64, sometime around noon EDT on Thursday, March 20.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
