1). Go to ESPN and create a bracket. Only ONE bracket per player.
http://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2019/en/
2). Save it under your name.
(IMPORTANT NOTE: WILL YOU PEOPLE PLEASE SAVE YOUR PICKS WITH YOUR TBP NAME … OR SOMETHING CLOSE TO IT???? One year we had some a-hole saving a pick as “jryznic” … and no one knew who the hell he was, other than being a dumb Pollack.)
3). Join our group. The group name is Burning Platform. Quick Group Find
HINTS for MEN
Team Rankings —- Ranks every team according to just about every metric
Team Comparison —– similar to above, except you can do a side-by-side ranking … very helpful!
HINTS for WOMEN
Here are some really helpful hints, that will insure you penetrate this tourney long and deep;
— 1) There are little numbers next to each team. That means “relative strength”. As you ladies know full well …. bigger is better. So, if a “9”-team plays a “3”-team … then you should pick the “9”-team because 9 is greater than 3. Mmm-kay?
—2) Eventually a 4-team, as just one example, from one region will play a 4-team from another region. In this case, go with the team’s name. For example, if the Oregon Ducks play the Georgia Bulldogs, you must go with the Bulldogs. Ducks don’t even have teeth. A bulldog (a Big Dog) will generally rip a duck a new asshole six ways to Sunday, just like here on TBP. Mmm-kay?
— 3) Pick the team with your favorite color.
— 4) Final tiebreaker. Pick the team with the most kneegrows.
Mundane Stucky Observations
For the ninth consecutive year flash will copy&paste his original picks from his office pool back in 1982. He’s really confident that THIS year will be different.
SSS won’t finish last. But, only because he’s no longer with us.
GCP will ask for Da Lawd to help him. He will agonize in prayer over every pick until God tells him what to do. But he doesn’t know that God doesn’t give a fuck about basketball. GCP will finish last.
Duke sucks Demon ass. And so does Kentsucky and their lying cheating coach. God does not want them to win. Do not pick them.
For the 10th consecutive year, Avalon will trounce Admin.
Llpoh has agreed to give the winner of the TBP pool $1,000. Really. Double Dee will donate that hideous painting, or a bucket of goat nuts … your choice.
Good luck.
I do not play bracket but I seem to pull for Wisconsin every year. Brigham Young and Northwestern for honorable mention.
Pussy.
Anybody but Duke.
Unfortunately I picked Duke to win it all! And I hate them with a passion. Goes to show how serious I am about taking LLPOHs $1000…
Hahahahaha
Hope you clean that crazy Injun’s wallet out Plato!! Heh
Good luck, but like I said, ANYBODY BUT DUKE.
Well, at least you did not call me a wrinkled old cunt like you did the first time I was honored with your invective.
Please send me your email. I would like to send you my latest book: — “From Cunt to Pussy: How I Grew to Appreciate KeyserSusie”
Please withdraw your trash talk. I entered. Guess which one I am. I am shooting for the worst showing, picking FSU to go far. Them and Wisconsin. Admin can give you my email. I want you to sign the book personally and write “to my favorite pussy” in your salutation. BTW, do you know how to use an adjective meaning ‘consisting of, containing, or discharging pus?’ pus – the blood, germs and white cells? It ain’t pussy! I have not seen you use the term purulent. Yet.
Trash talk withdrawn,
Easter is approaching. But, before that Lent. I am keeping myself pure. Therefore, I am purulent. I hope you’re happy now.
******************* A CALL TO ARMS !!!!! *********************
We have 35 entries. Can we get just FIVE more patriotic Americans to sign up? Please?? Forty is a magical number. I need 40. Please get this damned thing to 40.
************** SIGN UP, YA PURULENT PUSSIES !!!! *********
Yesterday took my grandson to the zoo. He particularly enjoyed the great apes and their tire swing.
Surely you schooled the boy in the art of the 3 pointer???
I sent a link to my husband. He’s all about the bracket thingy. Me, not so much. But your post had him dying laughing. That’s a good thing. He was cranky this morning.
Joined for entertainment. I don’t know squat as I don’t follow it…
Stuck, you .issued your calling…comedian. You damn funny man.
Lol post, Stuck. But not a big sportsball fan and I especially know nothing about soccer. So I’ll sit this one out.
Just pick one by flipping a coin..
Just follow the “Hints for Women”. You’ll do great!
Pussy.
“jrzynic” as in Jersey Nick, Chatam County deviant and coon killer?
I have Indiana to win it all.
WHats a “bracket”? I do not participate in anything that is related to overpaid, American hating, low IQ athletes. It is however a, racket…..
Follow the links your knowledge is perfect and you’ll probably win…
Pussy.
I’m not female and don’t give a flying fuck about the aforementioned Jungleball tournament but will still utilize the suggested Number Four Hint for Ladies anyway. Can’t miss with science.
Is it raciss to root for the team with the most white guys?
Yay, sportsball.
Just putting this here.. hopefully Admin will post..

Asleep at the switch… oh well Guess I need to pay moar attention to what is going on here..
It showed up in my feed this morning, started listening to it, and it wasn’t long before I was saying… Hey wait a minute! Gotta say that the video is amazing. The narrator does a great job capturing the situation you describe and the video, that accompanies your words, plays out the spectacle in all its glory. It filled in the pictures in mind when I originally read it here..
So cool..
It was such a treat to see this because it just popped up in my feed on youtube.. and I wasn’t even a sub to the Conservative Resurgence channel.
Am now though..
Anyways I feather in cap for sure but I do feel sorry for you having to endure that occasional commute.
It is even worse by video than it was imagined in my view…
Cheers
Just posted the link on the Young Turks…
when its quiet I can here heads exploding………ha!ha!
“I’M Spartacus!”
-Tom Izzo
One year I spent 10+ hours making my picks. I read all the sports blogs, checked out all the stats on various stat pages, and on and on. It was my WORST finish ever. Not kidding.
Just made my picks. Took a little over 5 minutes. I just wanna beat Admin. We’ll see how the ‘no research’ thingy goes …
Already up to 15 players! I think the most we had was 40-something. Would be nice to beat that …. but, we have a lot of PUSSIES who are nose-in-the-air elitist snowflake goody-two-shoes homosexuals.
The end result of “not researching” is — all #1 seeds in the Final Four! think I’m fucked.
Duke over Gonzaga
VA over NC
Final: VA wins it all.
I’m submitting this as a “hint” or favor to all who decide to play — do NOT make these picks! I’m a dumb-ass.
Pussy.
Easy picks, what no dark horse?
Cunt.
I have several upsets in the first two rounds.
What happened to your bracket bro?
No picks? Last place?!
You have a better chance of surviving jerking off a mountain lion in a phone booth with barbed wire than beating me in the NCAA pool. Kemba Walker brought me the TBP crown before and I will use my unmatched analytical skills to win again.
Dibs on the goat nuts!
Thanks for doing this Stucky! I’m excited. I’ll be filling my bracket out tomorrow after I do my diligent research and follow all of your tips above. Thanks for those too. Everybody sign up amd fill out a bracket, it makes March madness fun! Even if you don’t follow basketball.
I’m in. College sportsball is my vice. I won’t watch pro anything.
Pretty sure I got this locked up.
Okay, I’m in as SGN_Chip. Good luck everyone…
As of noon today, Wed. (3/20), in the year of our Lawd, 2019 ….. we have 25 great and honorable playas.
Good. But, not yet great.
You have all day today, and until noon tomorrow, to submit a bracket.
You regulars who do not participate in this annual TBP social function risk being ostracized from our fellowship. You will be unfriended. You will be called bad names. We who play will make fun of you. Your name will be etched on TBP’s Hall of Shame. Your balls will fall off, or your ginny will clam up. So, for fuksakes, take 5 minutes and submit your picks.
Geaux Tigers!!?
Wildwill…
Betcha I am NOT last?
Will,
C’mon now,
But I told y’all I wouldn’t be LAST!!!

This bracket did not have any picks before the game’s lock time.
???
What the heck, I put in my “winning” bracket. Have fun ya’ll!
come on folks we need moar entrants… makes it for moar fun and a break from the doom…
Looks like Minnesota is gonna beat Louisville.
I picked Louisville.
I am smart. So fucken smart. Smartest fucker on the planet. I spent 8 minutes making my picks. And for what?? To lose the first fucken game???? Krist. What a waste. I could have used those 8 minutes to watch porn, and jack off … 8 or 9 times. Shit.
Cards got whooped. Maybe you will be lined up correctly in the rest of your brackets Stuck.
The creator of the pool failed to submit his completed entry in time. He is automatically last.
Hints for washed up big dogs – Stick with the office pool. The internet is hard.
I didn’t hit Submit, eh?
FUCK ME DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Man, that really sucks donkey balls. I’m the new Village Idiot for the rest of the month.
Hahahaha!
Priceless!
Note to stuck, next year, click submit. Its the big ass button in the middle of the bracket, it’s kind of an important step.
Thank you, Racers!!!
I’m a Village Idiot for not hitting “submit”, and as Admin said that automatically puts me in LAST PLACE.
Theoretically.
Below are my picks. NOTE: I CAN NOT CHANGE THEM.
http://fantasy.espn.com/tournament-challenge-bracket/2019/en/entry?entryID=22961678
ESPN even calculates my points. I’m at 130. Which puts me in an 8-way tie for 7th.
Here are the Top 6 after Day 1:
wildwill999601 ——— 160 points (this person is OBVIOUSLY a fucken cheater)
espnfan05806444 ——- 140 points (an ASSHOLE who didn’t enter their TBP name)
Admin the Victorious —– 140 points (lucky little shit)
SGN_Chip ————- 140 points
Speciej —————- 140 points
DirtSteve ————– 140 points
Here are the Bottom 4
Plato_Pussius ——— 100
Dilligaf ————— 100
skooby717 1 ———— 90
Crazy Farmer ———– 90 (this person has a bad ankle and extreme pain kept him from making intelligent choices. Pray.)
Luck has nothing to do with it. I have a detailed mathematical formula that will insure victory for Admin.
You can miss a bunch in the 1st round…but the 2nd round is what starts separating the winners and losers…
At least I won’t be last. Thanks Stuck!

Hello Everyone!!
It’s me, the OBVIOUS “fooken” cheater from the first day!!. I have been a lurker for a more than a few years!! Always liked the “merde” slinging aspect of the banter here..
So I am tied for 2nd using a “blended” selection of “algorithms” as provided by the OP?. Thanks for the invite by the way to the group…BTW is was “luck” for what it’s worth?
if LSU loses to Mich St, y’all still have a chance…if LSU beats Duke….it depends on that fella who picked Da’ Tigers and his other 3 for the Final 4 OR it could be that “Russian” that might Win?
Btw ….any of you know this guy?
Peace “iceholes”?
Fuckin’ Russians.. Will, go lurk in a Trump Tower restroom, you deviant.

OBSERVATIONS: Admin is sucking gas!!!!!
Blow me. Even though I have no teams left, I’ll still win.
heh heh
No KANSAS, no DOOK, no TAR HEELS, and no KENTSUCKY in the final four!!
Seriously, this is a final four worth watching!! Best ever. I’m hoping for a Texas Tech championship. (Auburn is a close second. But, Bruce Pearl sweats to much, plus he’s a fucken cheater.)
A moment of silence and reverence for Nova. The reverend Carsen Edwards (42pts) will deliver the eulogy. Watch out for those 30 blocks of (tar) Holes…
Robbie, if you see this, congrats to the Habs for moving into the second WC spot..keep fighting!!!
nkit
Ya jinxed me! lol
I got all comfy last night with some beer and chips and watched the game.
And then they shit the bed….
Gotta say the Bolts are lookin’ good this year. Miles ahead of everyone else.
Best team in league by far…. 🙂
Anyways at least my bracket is still in pretty good shape.. for now.
Tonight will either make me or break me…
kicked our ass tonight. Congrats! We can only tie 1995-’96 Detroit with 62 Ws …. you all wanted it more than we did tonight….Records don’t seem to matter to these Bolts… Only The Lord Stanley Cup…That’s it.
GO CATS!! GO CATS!! GO CATS!!

Congrats goes to Miles To Go!

I have never seen such a YUGE group of fucken sore-assed LOSERS!!! I tried to be gracious regarding my superiority, but you punks made it too difficult.
Congratulations Stuck! TBP Champ!! It was fun, thanks for running the contest. I guess LLPOH’s check is in the mail ?
You are truly the QUEEN of TBP; gracious, gifted, and gorgeous.
Congrats to you also for beating that-man-you-married-who-had-a-secret-formula. His picks were an embarrassment ….you should make him do household chores for the rest of the month.
Thanks! My only goal was to beat him ?
The foul language you used when your teams were losing was very offensive to my mild mannered sensibilities.
