I am doing horrible in my picks. But, that is more than tempered by the fact that I think this is the best, most enjoyable tournament I have ever watched. In just about every game, I have had the feeling that either team could win, and a lot of the middle tier teams are showing that they are every bit as good as the supposed powerhouse schools and conferences. I will be perfectly content if Gonzaga or Seton Hall win it all. I will be faithfully rooting on every lower seeded team in every game from here on in.
One more bump to the top.
I’m not doing so well. Damn Gonzaga.

Enright3Oh yeah, much better.
Score 36, highest possible score 36.
Woo Hoo, I hit my highest possible score.
What did you do, funeefarmer? Pick from the women’s bracket?
Oh, those upsets! I still think MSU will win it all, though.
No the teams I picked would’ve been beat if they played in the Women’s tournament.
Heading into the Final Four weekend, here are our standings:

Too close to call at the top. Enright, how did you get your standings to line up neatly with tabs?
Oh well. At least I didn’t come in last…
God is my co-pilot. Blame Him.
Well, I don’t wanna ruin anyones suspence, but I have locked up the championship. No one can possibly beat me.
Happy Dance
Everyone within striking distance has picked MSU to win it all, and no one has any of the other Final Four teams in their bracket. Ergo, if my picks lose, so does everyone elses, but if theirs win…so do mine. I like the way this worked out. I’ll wait until its all wrapped up to gloat :).
I think I can credit picking that Wisconsin/Arizona upset for my victory.
Well, Omni, it’s official now. Have at it!

:::Looks at funneefarmer while making a finger-and-thumb “L” on his forehead:::
Looooo-ser!
God is my co-pilot. Blame Him.
How did I not come in last? Seriously. Untrained kittens wearing blindfolds could have picked a better bracket.
We went right out there and refused to do accoustical versions of the electrical songs that we had refused to record in the first place.
You guys with scores in the 40s and below…huh? How the hell did that happen? funnee, were you trying to lowball just for attention?
Anyways…I take my official victory lap!
Boards gonna crash as per usual, so I’ll post more later.
It was mighty close. Too bad none of us won any money.
:: Dances the Loser dance and falls flat on a$$ ::
Well, see I thought this was a handicap tournament…
Well, hey, I won the office pool! (no joke)
