these games are so fun - great idea, cybergates.

I never thought I'd be talking about various short lengths the day before March Madness, but here we are.

HSN members:

Are you craving a little basketball fix?  Do you find yourself watching re-runs of old games or watching marble racing with the same vigor you cheer on our Hoosiers?

We understand.  We feel the same way.   Thankfully, a member stepped up with a wonderful idea to help us pass the time.  We can thank cybergates, our new resident HSN Tournament Commissioner, for creating our own version of March Madness:

That's right - our Hoosiers are facing off against our Hoosiers.  We can't lose!  Every day, cybergates will post the entire slate of all of the day's "games" on a single thread with multiple poll questions.  Members are encouraged to discuss, debate, and vote the various matchups!

In the interest of fairness, teams were seeded sequentially by year.  In all honesty, random seeding isn't too different than what the Selection Committee does some years, so we felt it was appropriate.

Keep your eyes peeled for posts beginning at 12pm EST tomorrow and prepare to defend your favorite IUBB team all the way to the Final Four!

HF + the team

Howdy folks - I'd encourage everyone to go read my post in the announcements section regarding this topic.

The shorter version?  Don't dive into deeply into politics and don't call each other names.

Hey, unless you need to sell any time soon, any dip is just a discount on anything you purchase.

I've got my checkbook ready, vbg.

Being an NBA fan is dull sometimes.  The Pacers put together a great team through money-balling it.  Their star player gets injured.

Meanwhile, LAL and NYK are dumpster fires for a decade (or longer, NYK) and will luck into star players (or multiple stars) because of geography.

The NBA needs a hard cap.

Oladipo just has that "it" factor.  I've watched almost every game this year.  Clutch.  Ice in his veins.

North Central HS here.

Hello all --

A benefit of being on our own is that we can customize our board to our liking!  If we want a chatbox, boom, we get a chatbox.  A downside is that we have to fix problems on our own.  We're a rag tag team and none of us are tech professionals by trade, but we have a handy cadre of outside advisors we can call on when shit hits the fan.

To help us help you, if you have tech support needs, please use the following template in your post:

1. Are you connected by mobile (phone), a computer, or other?
2. Please list your technology brand, specifications (e.g. operating system), and browser.
3. Have you cleared your cache and restarted your computer?  If no, stop here and do so.  Only continue if problems persist.
4. Describe your problem in as much detail as necessary.
5. Can you attach a screenshot?  If you don't know how, leave this blank and be sure to ask for help.
6. When did this problem start?
7. Does it persist across multiple devices (e.g. both on a computer and a phone, or only one or the other)?
8. Do you have any other details you can share?

The same as they've ever been.
