I may do this.. . .but what I came in here to say is GOSH, Obama hates the Pac-10!

I'm in! Go VCU! I've got THE MARCH MADNESS lookout!

And in case I bomb, this is a totally different bracket than the one I put $10 on.

Just filled out my first round. . do I need to fill out ALL rounds?

IThe Stuporstars can't wait to see the Dukies go out in the Sweet 16 again this year.

Yes, danf, before the games start tomorrow..

This is the year the Akron Zips go all the way.

Make that 4!

danf - you do need to fill out all rounds at the beginning, I'm pretty sure! Hurry!

Also, this is a small pool - plenty of room for more - you're gonna sound pretty good in your office if you say "I finished tenth" - heck my other pool has over 90 people.

I did. . .I weighted it towards the Pac-10, mostly since Obama so thoroughly dissed them.

The dans are 6 for 6!

posted by danostuporstar 19 March | 13:55

Yep. . .3 for 3 so far. . .I am feeling insecure about picking USC, but we'll see. I see that Obama mostly went by seeding with very few exceptions. . .my pick for winner is NOT a #1. . ..

I had to go with Louisville because I had no dog in my final four race, so my friend Jon went there... I find a reason like that for most of my picks. (and certain irrational rules I follow too, that will not be revealed :) )

posted by gaspode 19 March | 14:05

Yeah, I'm with gaspode--let's just say there's a lot of irrationality in my picks. Also, did you know I was born in Pittsburgh?

(I don't even want to mention being three for three--there's no way it'll last.)

posted by box 19 March | 14:17

Heh, that's exactly why I mentioned it. Perfection is so fleeting.

I don't even remember who I put in the final four right now, besides Memphis. Usually I start with the final four and work back from there, but this time I just went game by game.

I am staring my first loss in the face. . .thanks a lot, Cal!

LOOKIT THAT TURTLE GO!

posted by danostuporstar 19 March | 16:13

I guess I should not have fallen for that old turtle v bear in real life way of predicting. A bear could just pick up a turtle and, like, drop it over a waterfall. . .

posted by danf 19 March | 16:22

Yes, but what about bulldog versus kangaroo?

posted by box 19 March | 20:26

Um, woot!
