sbc IMPACT! March Madness Bracket Tourney
Posted by David Rogers in IMPACT Features
The last couple of years, Art Rogers over at 12 Witnesses has hosted the Blogtown Pick ‘Em Tourney. Since, by all reports, Art is presently in Vietnam engaged in more important endeavours, we here at sbc IMPACT! thought we would step in and make sure the members of our little “blogging community” are not deprived this year of the opportunity to weigh in on their choices for the 2009 March Madness NCAA basketball tournament, and have a little fun competing with fellow bloggers at the same time.
If you want to join the sbc IMPACT! bracket group, and fill out a bracket of your own, go to http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joingroup
At that page select, “Join Group.” You will then need to sign in with a Yahoo ID. If you have one, put it in, and if not, get one on that page.
At that point you will be at this page:
http://tournament.fantasysports.yahoo.com/t1/register/joinprivategroup
If you are already signed in with a Yahoo ID, then you can jump to that page.
There you will be asked to enter a group ID: 135825
Since it is registered as a public group, leave the password slot blank.
While you’re at it, don’t forget to vote for sbc IMPACT! over at 2009 SBC Voices Blog Madness.

David, Thanks for putting this together. I rarely do well in these types of things but I’m planning on winning it all this time. I have been doing a lot of research including studying carefully Bart Barber’s Baptist Heritage Strategy. Adjusting his concept slightly, I have decided to pick Pittsburgh to go all the way. The reasoning is that Pittsburgh is where the three rivers come together. Three, of course is the number of the Trinity. The Trinity can’t lose and so Pittsburgh can’t lose!
David,
I’m just looking forward to the battle between the Tigers… sure looks to me like Mizzou and Memphis are on a collision course, and there’s going to be a major cat fight in Glendale!
I’ve gotta go with my heart, and hope I’ve got some bragging rights on the other end…
M-I-Z… Z-O-U!
I don’t know why I even enter these things. I’m a Big-10 Fan and they never fail to disappoint. And I absolutely refuse to choose an ACC team after the first round.
So, basically, I have no chance from the very start.
It looks like we are up to nine teams. Any others?
Yeah, it would be a bunch of Baptists doing this. I have to laugh a bit. I’m not one who’s usually much into sports (yes, I know, that’ll get me excommunicated from some Baptist Churches). Sit me down in front of a TV showing sports, or take me to a stadium or some such, and I know the rules (unless it’s something like Cricket (“Rules? It has rules? Why spoil it with rules?”)) and can follow and enjoy the game, but it’s not much of a priority with me. I can take it or leave it. Obviously, I didn’t inherit my parent’s sports-watching gene (both of them would spend time in a typical weekend watching some sport, including golf and tennis).
But when I first got started in blogging, I pulled a starter list of blogs toread off of the blog of my sister-in-law (a Methodist pastoral candidate). After a bit I thought, “You go to a Baptist Church, shouldn’t you be reading some Baptist blogs?” So I went looking. And I found this Baptist Blog Aggregator. And I’m telling you, fully half (every other post) of the posts I saw had something to do with sports. That pretty much told me where I stand <grin>.
It didn’t take long for my bracket to bust
I’m going with Syracuse to take it all. Came to the tourney with enough Moxie to do the trick and will play smarter than Memphis when it comes down to it.
I’m pulling for Duke for basketball purity, though I sometimes despise their program.
I don’t think UNC will get to the finals; but if the White Guard plays stellar–can’t think of his name at the moment–and can hit a few surprise threes in key moments, then Lookout Jesus, it’s Paris Trout.
