Thanks!

Yep

I used to do this damn near every year, going back to the late 90s. Usually that meant posting up at a good sports bar, paper brackets in tow. Preferably with several friends with similar gambling problems.

Past 10-15 years, not so much.

Don't have to for the first time ever! Retired in December.

Retired last July but I might have to set my alarm. First game tips at 9:15 my time. I'm ready. Set up another TV in the living room in case I don't go to a sports book to watch.

This is a great time of the year to have parental leave scheduled.

My boss is out of town this week and I work from home on Thursdays so I just put busy on my calendar starting at noon. Then took Friday off

Nice technique.

I took the days off, though not because of March Madness. Have to work in the yard, spring planting.

could only take friday off but ags play the thursday night game so that is cool with me. kids are on spring break and this is my 11 ur old daughters first march madness that she cares about. we watched selection sunday and thursday night we will be watching the ags take down yale. then friday we will be watching basketball all day.

Every. Single. Year.

Didn't schedule any sessions on Thursday and always off on Fridays so hell yes! A couple of the greatest days of the year!

My family was already planning on being in Denver starting Thursday... I just bought tickets to the game yesterday.

Yay New Mexico healthcare

Every year. Same plans. Vegas for the first weekend of the tournament. No other way to do it.

Getting together with 3 guys I went to college at A&M with 30 years ago Saturday to hopefully see us in the 2nd round and do our annual fantasy baseball draft.

Every year regardless of if we are in or not.

Put my 2 weeks notice in just for this week!

Ok, not really…better job offer came along, but I'm in my 2 week window (great timing, so I'll take it.)

Las Vegas for March Madness opening weekend is amazing!

Working from home Thursday.
Taking Friday off.

Off while on paternity leave

Oh yeah! Do it every year. Are you out here?

Today will ve cheering for my Lobos!

My "unique" bracket has Texas A&M defeating UNM in the Elite Eight to advance to play the third weekend in San Antonio.

no

I'm pulling for the Lobos as well! I got to see a game at The Pit earlier this season - such a great atmosphere.

We had season tickets for the Lobos back when Steve Alford was leading them to annual MWC Championships and high NCAA seeds. Loved the Pit. We dropped them as out kids got older and had other things to do - and Lobos had some down years.

Excited about the Lobos these last few seasons. Last year I was pushing for Aggies to get MWC Freshman of the Year JT Toppin in the portal - but he wound up at Texas Tech.

This year, I am hoping we can back up the NIL money truck to "purchase" the senior year of MWC POTY Donovan Dent from the Lobos - to serve as our Wade Taylor replacement to lead the Aggies while we "season" our young guards next season.
