Ready, set……………..5 1/2 hours til GO!!!

The 2015 Hopski International March Madness Pool (and of course the real games themselves) are ready to tip-off in about 5 1/2 hours.  The pool stands currently at 109 entries, so I expect that it will end up in the typical 140 to 160 range.

GET THOSE LAST MINUTE ENTRIES IN!!


Had to invoke the Spirit of the Game clause requiring creative and NEW (not Gopher Broke or Boys of Springer for the 15th consecutive year) entry names earlier today.  This included the Godfather, Lube Job and Udaman - all very, very worn re-treads of entry names of years past!!  A few others were just not creative whatsoever to start with:

MiamiChris - didn't we go through this last year??  Come up with something for your 2nd entry at least.

Rookie - great to have you - but seriously - 123456789 and 1234567891??

Down on the Upside - great, but not for BOTH entries.

Dtosca 1 and Dtosca 2 - I can only live with one of these and that is only if I must!!

PapaHoppa - jet lag or no jet lag - get those creative juices flowing!!

Hopefully this group (and any last minute entries as well) will get "up to speed" and email some decent creativity later today.

If you are struggling for entry names, head over to TMZ.com (I need a translator for that site) or keep in mind some of this year's current news and pop culture:  Game of Thrones, , Hillary's email, anything anti-Calipari or Ashley Judd, Ebola, Putin, Ukraine, Chris Christie (e.g. Chris Christie's Breasts), Greece leaving the Euro, etc….  Remember, pop culture with a twist to tie it to the Hopski or March Madness is a winner!
