Mike,
Count me in! Thanks for organizing this. It sounds fun.
Also, what do you think of running a Dad's club NCAA pool/bracket? We could
even invite the (gasp!) mom's club to participate.
I have a program running on my web server. It's designed for hosting private
leagues and looks to be simple to use.
We could make it a free league or charge a few bucks (via PayPal or whatever)
Just an idea. Let me know what you think.
