March Madness 2026!

For almost 30 years, I’ve hosted a just-for-fun pool for the Men’s college tourney known as March Madness. I’m now on year five of also hosting a pool for the women’s tournament! It’s a great chance for me to have a connection with people I’ve known my whole life from all different places.

Connection is the point! How we do is not the point! I’ve been beaten by our youngest daughter when she was 8 months old; she picked teams by grabbing one of the papers I put in front of her, so give it a try! The real fun for me is focusing on something for three weeks with all my friends.

ONLY ONE ENTRY PER PERSON IN THIS GROUP.

HERE ARE THE INSTRUCTIONS FOR JOINING. I let ESPN host it:

Women’s Group Link 

Men’s Group Link

After you go to the above link, click “Join Group” right away. If you already have a free account on ESPN, login. If you don’t, you can login or click “Sign Up” and follow the instructions (uncheck all the boxes so you don’t get spam).

DON’T REJOIN OLD GREGG’S GROUPS! MAKE SURE YOU ARE JOINING THE 29TH, GREGG’S GROUP XXIX, OR THE FIFTH, KOSKELA GROUP V.

You can create a bracket now and join the group.

The links above should automatically put you in the group, but just in case it doesn’t work, here are the details:

Women:

Group: Koskela Group V

Password: max 

Men:

Group: Gregg’s Group XXIX

Password: max

MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR PICKS IN 1 HOUR BEFORE THE FIRST GAME STARTS (Men Thursday morning, Women Friday morning)! To be safe, do it by Wednesday night. 

Let me know if you are in by responding with your bracket entry name. I like giving updates throughout!

Thanks! Let me know if you have questions.
