Spent 10 minutes trying to register and just couldn’t make it work. Tried creating a new account, tried creating an account using FB… none of it worked. 😕 Oh, well, maybe next year. ---

Freak’in UAB just fried a few brackets in upsetting Iowa St. ---

I have 4 brackets in various contests. I had Iowa St. going to the final 4 in two and the final 8 in another. Two games in, and 3 brackets shot to hell. Ok, sure, I picked plenty of upsets with some 9-12 seeds winning a couple of games here and there. Just not UAB! ---

I didn’t have Georgia State either. ☹ ---

Georgia St. made a 3 point shot from 10,000 feet out with 3 seconds left to sink Baylor and my bracket. (Grumble grumble grumble, mutiny mutiny mutiny). ---

Yeah, Baylor and Iowa State both going down sure messes up my bracket. I thought the 5/12 seed games were supposed to be the upsets, not the 3/14 seeds! ---

That was one of my worst first days ever. Wow. One of my other brackets I didn’t use for the group had Iowa State going to the Championship game, so I’ve got that going for me here… ---

That Harvard-Wofford matchup I had in one bracket for the round of 32 ALMOST happened. But not quite. Did anyone have either Baylor or ISU losing even in the second round? Pac-12 homerism is working well for me so far, 3-0 with the Ducks playing tonight. I can’t imagine what I was thinking picking Ole Miss, I think I must have just misclicked on that one… ---

Nice to see Kansas not following the lead of Thursday’s Big 12 teams. I’m looking forward to a matchup with Wichita State on Sunday! ---

> [@Little\_Pig](#): > > Harvard _almost_ beat UNC. _Exciting!_ I saw totally pulling hard for Harvard to beat them. An Ivy League school beating a school that [puts their players in grade school courses](http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2014/10/22/north-carolina-academic-fraud/17717243/). ---

After tripping over their shoelaces near the end of the second half, the Fighting Irish pull it out in OT over Butler. (Whew!) Thank you God. ---

Well, I’m out. What the hell was I thinking, picking Virginia to go all the way? On the plus side, now I can root for Michigan State. Go Spartans!
