I'd like to start off the first post of the ALACS Blog with a sincere thank you to everyone who joined our March Madness pool. I was optimistic sending out invitations, but I tried not to hope for as many brackets as we pulled into this pool. We have quite an eclectic group: within the ALACS pool there are fathers (mine and Kerry Burke's), aunts (Sean Stokke's), students abroad (my sister Christina and Adam Brady), alums of over 20 different colleges, and one guy with a really sweet name (Blaiz Grubic). There are 53 of us in total...all of whom, it should be noted, have more testicular fortitude than Brendan Meyer. Even the girls.
Who will the ALACS be rooting for (brackets aside) in the tournament?
Gonzaga (11 alums)
Oregon (8)
USC (6)
Stanford (3)
Portland St (3)
Duke (2)
Arizona (2)
Oklahoma (1)
Here is how the payout will work:
1st: $339
2nd: $150
3rd: $60
4th: $30
5th: $15
I'll be updating this throughout the opening weekend, the rest of the tournament, and the ALACS season (which lasts all year). Good luck with your brackets...
