AND GUESS WHO IS DANCING AGAIN??!!!
Mike Woodsen has taken the Hoosiers back to March Madness in his first year at the helm and for the Hoosiers here amongst us - let's just say WHEWWWWWWW!!! The NCAA did us no favors by dropping us below the 17-14 Michigan team we beat 3 days ago and sending IU to Dayton (read - we'd really like to sellout the play-in game, so....let's send Indiana over there) for a Tuesday game and then if IU wins, out to Portland for a Thursday match with St. Mary's. WE DON'T CARE - WE'RE BACK!!!
Or as the just unretired Tom Brady would say -
Back to this year's Hopski...... as there is a BIG change......
The man behind TurboTourney has announced his retirement and unlike Brady - he seems serious! Serious enough that he has even suggested long-time users like the Hopski should consider switching now to RunYourPool.com for hosting and managing a March Madness Pool. After careful evaluation by the Committee - a decision has been made to make the switch NOW!!!

If anyone discovers any dealbreakers - call or email me asap.
From what I can see:
1) the Hopski Underdog Scoring will continue,
2) the hosting is online (Turbotourney I had to run from windows and create a website with each update) - so more time for Commish Blogs,
3) pool reports look pretty good,
4) there is a MESSAGE BOARD!!! YES - A MESSAGE BOARD!!!! and,
5) the online platform will update itself!! No more waiting for me to get to a computer and update the standings, etc..... It is all automated :)
On the downside - the platform will cost a bit more than Turbo Tourney - but aside from that - all looks good - so LET'S DANCE!!!
That is all for now. Go check out the new site. The rules are there. I believe that you can change your entries yourself right up until the deadline (another big positive!!) - so get those entries going. Feel free to share the link with anyone that you like - as always the more the merrier!!
Happy Dancing!!
The Commish
