Maybe I haven’t yet convinced you to join my March Madness pool. So, to really entice you, I’m posting the illustrious names of those who have entered…the Hall of Fame!!! Imagine…join this year, and your name could end up in the hall of fame!
| Year: | Pool Name: | Hall of Famer: | NCAA Champion: | Honorable Mention: | |
| 2004 | Gregg’s Group 8 | Ron Woodward | Connecticut | ||
| 2003 | Gregg’s Group 7 | Diane Fawver | Syracuse | ||
| 2002 | Boise Bowl 6 | Lonny Bumgardner | Maryland | ||
| 2001 | Boise Bowl 5 | Gregg Koskela | Duke | ||
| 2000 | Boise Bowl 4 | Jim Steele | Michigan State | ||
| 1999 | Koskela’s Madness 3 | Gregg Koskela | Connecticut | ||
| 1998 | Koskela’s Madness 2 | Jim Steele | Kentucky | Diane Fawver | |
| 1997 | Koskela’s Madness 1 | Tim Hyatt | Arizona | Doug Koskela |
(The honorable mention goes way back before ESPN hosted this thing. I had another scoring method that gave you bonus points for picking upsets, and Doug and Diane won under that scoring method.)
So, I let you dream of the day when your name might be etched into this hall of fame. Just don’t get excited about winning this year, cause I’m long overdue for a win. Tomorrow, I’ll post some memories from 2001…
