Happy Selection Sunday. March Madness starts in a few days, which means it is time, once again, for The Eightfivethree Classic. By my count, this is the Third Annual Eightfivethree Classic (2004, 2005) and I think it is going to be the best ever!

In 2004, then the Eightfivethree Pick’em, only four people signed up. I went on to an easy victory. Celebration was cut short. I knew I had to work day and night to make the 2005 Pick’em even better. My tireless efforts resulted in nine Pick’em participants in 2005. I ended up in ninth place (who knew KU would lose their first round game?) and Chloe won it all. Good news, though is that she never claimed her prize, so assuming I can find the pen light and alarm clock/stop watch, they carry over for this year’s prizes.

So after last year’s strong showing, I have renamed the Pick’em to the Classic and am looking forward to an exciting tournament. Head over the Yahoo’s! Tournament Pick’em page and the “Create or join group” button to sign up. You want to then click on the select button under “Join existing group” and then the select under “Join a private group”.
