Friday Fun: Hoop-a-palooza!


comments Leave a comment



Well, there is weeping in regard to my NCAA Tournament bracket in Not Larry Sabato's 3rd Annual Tournament, just as I predicted.

Alas, the tears are all mine.

Apparently the best way to pick a bracket is my strategy from last year, which was to not watch any games at all and then just guess, along with picking against odd letters like "x" and "q," as opposed to this year's plan, which was marathon sessions of research watching hi-def basketball.

For the record, Belmont came within a hairs-breadth of making me look like a genius, as did Drake. Georgia remains a bitter, bitter disappointment. Make your own "horse shoes and hand grenades" joke here.

On the upside, 163rd is not last, no matter how close it actually may be to last.
