SS is a pro and should not be eligible. :)
 

Is there a prize for the person who comes in last place? I'd like to receive something for trying.

Yes there is GW. It will be with one of the Iowa Hawkeye cheerleaders, if you can get her unstuck from the Kinnick turf.

Tried to create a CBS ID and can't login. Reset password many times; each time I use the password they send me they tell me there is some issue. Seems like I am stuck between being a new ID and an existing ID and they can't or I can't figure it out

--- Go Gophers -- I think last year we used ESPN and that worked for me...

I actually don't do brackets anymore (I got a little too obsessed with them) - but I was able to login easily. If you have another email, just set up a new account if you can't break into your old one!

Well I made a new email address and it did the same thing as the prior one>> after logging in with the email address and the password it takes me to the New Member Registration page and if I fill that out it says email already appears in their data base... I am done, apathy has set in...
 

Anyone know what channel the Gopher UCLA game will be televised on?

The Goofy thing is if you don’t have a Big Ten cable package this might be the only time you can watch the Gophers… Big Ten rakes in the money but are they losing fans and do they care? The Twins once they got their new stadium dropped their once a week public TV game; will the Vikings once they get their stadium move to a cable only showing? Seems like if you take public money or are a public institution like the U you might want Minnesota’s to watch your games; but I guess it is all about money…

It will be on Tru TV.

As for the BTN, I think most everyone in Big Ten markets get the channel now days. And the few that don't will eventually. Over 90 million of the 114 million households in the US with tv have the BTN.

It's an advantage for those who don't live in MN too because they wouldn't get many of the games if it was played on FSN-North (or MSC like in the old days).
 

Trust me, beating me in a bracket challenge is not an accomplishment, though I appreciate the thought!

I, too, can't access the bracket. Have tried several times using old password, temporary password, etc., and nothing works.

(edit) Tried again, was able to access the bracekt, but not sure if it was submitted. Nothing confirmed that it was submitted.

As a young boy I thought i had it all when Dad brought home the box that sat on our TV which allowed us to get MSC.

Not sure about your numbers; I though there were something like ~330 million people in the US so your numbers maybe are households that have cable…
Numbers for fun;
so our yearly deficit of 1 trillion bucks @ 330 million people means the federal government borrows ~$3,000 on your behave each year, so then the debt when Obama is done will be around ~20 trillion so that means the federal government has borrowed on your behave ~$60,000>>> thinking about what that means a family with three kids and two parents >> they now owes ~$300,000 bucks and even if that is some how paid off we are still on a rate to borrow ~15,000 bucks a year on that family of 5’s behave…
And the band plays on as the Titanic sank…

In my fourth and final bracket (this one). I have chosen an all big ten final four. Michigan State, Ohio State, Michigan, Indiana.

I had to have a little fun.

Yes, there are about 114 million households with tv (http://www.nielsen.com/us/en/newswire/2011/nielsen-estimates-number-of-u-s-television-homes-to-be-114-7-million.html). I thought I read somewhere that it was 90 million for the BTN but this site says 80: http://btn.com/about/. Either way, that's a pretty high percentage (70%) and I've got to believe the percentage is much higher in Big Ten country (probably closer to 90%).
 


I have, I made 3 brackets, shows only one.
