Where to Find 2008 NCAA Printable Brackets

Nothing beats March Madness. This Thursday and Friday, from Tobacco Road to the West Coast, offices will shut down (at least in practice) as millions watch the greatest American sports event.

What makes the NCAA Tournament so special is the last-man-standing format of the tourney. Filling out brackets and guessing who will be the winner for your office pool is at least half the fun of the experience.

All of the major sports sites have their own flavor of the brackets. Here's a quick compilation so you can grab whichever one you fancy best.

NCAA.com: The NCAA brings you the official version, complete with the start times for the first and second rounds.

ESPN: The Worldwide Sports leader has 2 versions of the tournament bracket, one in .pdf and one in .gif format.

CBSSportsline: The CBS version of the bracket is available in .gif format.

SI.com: CNN and SportsIllustrated offer a .pdf version.

There you go!

All that's left is hours of over-analysis and second-guessing your gut instinct on who will win the 1st round match-ups.
