Looks like I'm the only idiot to pick Kentucky to go all the way this year. And they barely got out of the first round today. Yay me.

Don't feel bad. I picked them to go all the way in my real pool -- the one where actual money is at stake. Because I'm stupid.

Kentucky. I made that mistake last year. I think my entire final 4 was out by the second round.
But I couldn't make myself pick UConn (fuckers) or Duke (fuckers).
Had I known then, that my picking a team is THE kiss of death, I would have chosen my teams more carefully.

And ESPN was inexcusably 2 minutes behind MSNBC (yes I was following both websites). And ESPN was always about 2-3 minutes behind. So try here next time.

Here is faster

For one brief shining moment, I am on top. I am basking in the sure-to-be-temporary glory.

Shalom, bitches.

Great job. You are a 99th percentiler. Bask away.

Adding to the ncs or NFH confusion here, the two of us seem to have made basically the same picks all the way through.

Well that's bad news. Didn't you stink it up last year?

didn't we decide we were twins born of separate mothers?

What are you, their corporate shill? MSNBC sucks, mainly because of the MS part. It's a sucky portal, with sucky news, that works only if you use the world's suckiest (and virus-attracting) browser. NBC can suck it too, for joining with MS in this pathetic venture.

I've peaked. My cuts are not many but they run deep.

I was looking at that; weirdest entry ever. Two of your very few (4?) first round misses are in the final four? Ouch.

Espn's got a column in the standings that tells you your max possible score. Mine in this pool is very very high . . . where it will be until SUnday when Georgia Tech gets waxed by the Cardinals.

I have 24 picks right and should have 240 points, but I only have 220. What gives? I want to take my rightful place tied for third after a good day for my bracket.

I didn't get an entry in, but did scratch out a last minute one for the office pool.

So let me be the first to extend a hearty FUCK YOU to KU. Losing to Bucknell.

Being the first person in your pool mathematically eliminated ... wait, did someone pick Syracuse ... basically sucks donkey balls.

Oops. Maybe I overestimated the similarity of our picks. I mean, I didn't pick Kansas to go to the final 4 or anything.

I don't recall "stinking it up" but maybe I've blocked that out. I can't seem to see the history over at ESPN.com to check that out.
