Welcome to the JUBL 2007 Facebook NCAA Tournament Pool

Next drill: shoot through the swirling yellow æther, twice around the dragon tail, off its left wing, and into the mysteriously levitating hoop.
Welcome. We're honored to announce the Johnny Utah Basketball League (JUBL) is hosting its very own Facebook pool for this year's NCAA basketball tournament. If you decided to join us, we're certain you've already made the best decision of 2007, possibly of all time.

If you clicked that link on the left side of the Facebook pool front page, cool. It works. Good. Thanks for stopping by. If it's your first time at the Johnny Utah Symposium, feel free to look around. We hope you like it and stuff. And if you've been here before, welcome back. How are you? Cool ... yeah. We're fine. How's [work/school/panhandling/stripping]? Good, good. OK, stop standing around and help us welcome some of the new people.

Now, in the interest of full disclosure, you have absolutely no shot at winning this pool. Don't get us wrong, we're sure you'll pick some awesome brackets. Unfortunately for you, the Johnny is all about winning. In fact, we've never really lost anything. Ever. So I'm fairly sure one of us will win, even if it means kicking you all out before the final four. Fair warning.

Seriously though, don't let that get in the way of your picks. It's only a game. Go wild. And you may want to consider a 2-15 upset (or is it time for a 16 seed to advance?). It's been a strange year.

Good luck everyone. And happy March.

Are you in the 0.007% of the population that doesn't have Facebook? Want to participate anyway? Email the JUhS at thedudesblog[-at-]yahoo[-dot-]com and let us know. We probably won't not sell your information to marketers.
