Ok - we are doing it online this year. Let me know if you want to be a part of the Straub Bracket challege and I will send you an e-mail inviting you to join (you may be able to click the link above and create an account and use the password "straub" but I am not sure.
Some one give it a try and let me know.
This year scoring will be 1pt for first round, 2pts for second, 4 for third etc. In addition, the seed of the winning team will be added to point total, so if you correctly pick a 12 seed to win the first round you will get 13 points (1 for correctly picking the game and 12 for the seed of the correct team).
Any questions - let me know.

I think you're right Ed. You have to send an invite to interested parties' e-mails. Send me one, please!
joe.jayjack@gmail.com
And if anybody is interested in winning $1,000,000, make sure you fill out a bracket at DesMoinesRegister.com. All you have to do is pick every game correctly.
go ahead and send me one:
fstraub@tds.net
Me too, me too. cathy52@cox.net
When it says enter a valid tie breaker to save, what does that mean?
I am pretty sure it means you didn't enter in a final game total score on the sheet (that is the tie breaker)
I didn't enter a score. I entered simply the number 97 and then submitted accidentally, so unless the score ends up 9 to 7 I guess I'm screwed. I'm going back in to see if I can fix it.
Send one here and there please:

Thanks
When do they have to be completed? Can I just fill one out on paper and fax it to you? I guess then you would have to probably enter the info for me, so if you can't - no problem. I just don't have a lot of computer access here.
I'm really stupid about lawn and garden stuff. I probably would have ripped up our lawn had we been home on a nice warm day because we still have lots of leaves on the ground too. Of course we left them on purpose - for winter mulch. I saw an infomercial for a tomato tree that can grow up to 8 feet and grow tomatoes as big as grapefruits. I think I may order it.
Yes you can fax it to me if you like. Be sure to add the total combined score of the final game as well. My fax is 312 244 3029. You should have Scott fill one out as well.
I WILL OWN YOU ALL!!!
Top o' the mornin' to ya and Happy St. Paddy's day!

I hate the leprechaun.
Keep yer hands off me booze.
Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his life.
After Mass, the priest caught up with Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?"
Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn come to church every Sunday. I also knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church so, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that you didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"
Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat."
The priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' you decided you would rather do without your hat than Burn in Hell, right ?"
Murphy shook his head and said, "No, Father, after you talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."
Ha! Funny. :-)
I have strep too. :-(
I'm thinking we should get L & D a room at the AmericInn until the house is "cleansed!" O-Crimeny!
I just had a green beer over lunch.
Last night Josh and I got back from MN. We were supposed to arrive home at 5ish, but instead got bumped and got home at midnightish. However, we were compensated with first class and a $300 travel voucher each.

We have some dark brown almost black beer at our house. And some cider. Y'all come!
What time is the parade in Algona? I'll be thinking about yez.
I can't believe I've spent 56 years on this planet and never heard of the Republic of San Marino. Keep This Day in History coming.
I just *ironed* green tee's for L & D...Liam's "patched" jeans and Donny's jeans that I hope fit him! Seems "odd" to iron crappy old jeans...oh well. Liam will be wearing a tee that says "Made in Ireland." If someone asks him were YOU made in Ireland? He'll innocently respond "Yes, my parents were there and God put me in my Mom's belly!"...yikes! Someone will get a good laugh. :-)
I don't iron anything.
Monica
I only iron jeans and tees for school or a special occasion.
I like to iron.
what is the 'ironing' of which you speak?
I don't iron Tom's dress shirts...my Mom does.
I like to do dishes though. I pay Ellen $2 a shirt to do Joe's.
Monica
I made shamrock cookies so they would be "hot" outta the oven upon L & D'd return from school. strepadoodle-Eli looks at them, on the cooling rack, and gives them a good "blow." Whatever! Ugh.
L & D's
I don't iron anythng either. I hate ironing. Happy St. Pat's! To celebrate I am going out to dinner with a friend from when we lived in Macedonia. Jude insisted he must have a shamrock shake from McD's to celebrate and we went to 2 different drive thrus and they were out.
Happy St Pat's day everybody. We are watching ND play UAB in the NIT, and drinking some Jameson's to celebrate.
As much as I want to boycott all things NCAA after the way they completely screwed Creighton we'll do the bracket as well.
Ed can you please send two invites to:
ejstraub_3@msn.com
Is there any money riding on this or strictly bragging rights? I prefer to brag with a pocket full of cash.
There was a story in yesterday's World-Herald about how the Creighton AD says Creighton's just going to have to agree to play some big away teams without a reciprocal agreement for them to play here, in order to get the kind of credibility they need to be considered seriously when they're on the bubble like that. Altman feels if we go there to play they should come here to play but he says the AD is the boss. So CU's schedule could be getting a little tougher in the next couple years.
The Milbraths, the Richardsons and the Jayjacks had corned beef, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, soda bread, shamrock cake, shamrock brownies and a whiskey trifle, washed down with Guinness, cider, mysterious green stuff for the kids, and Irish coffee - really good Irish coffee. How did the celebration in Algona go?
Thanks to everyone for your birthday wishes. I don't know yet if I'll be celebrating tonight, as I have class on Wednesdays. However, I'm certain I will take the opportunity to be honored at some later point in the week.
