So the Know-Nothing No Downside Not-Too-Much Upside March Madness Thingie is BACK, starting as of yesterday. In fact, it’s the Fifth Anniversary! Hopefully, you’ve all received your blank brackets, but if you haven’t, it’s cos I am disorganized, not cos I don’t want you to play! So mail me (mim at this [...]
DOOOOOOD, it was Selection Sunday. As in the day that the tournament teams are picked! So you know what that means — it’s time to randomly pick winners, lots and lots of winners! Enough winners to beat the defending champion, YB!
So yeah, I’m sending out the brackets to everyone who has ever [...]
Oh this is just one of the funnest things I’ve read this week (and definitely the funnest article about the Super Bowl that I’ve read, although that’s not saying much):
Art museum director Super Bowl trash talk: It’s on.
The art directors of the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the New Orleans Museum of Art have a [...]
When President Barack Obama made his picks, he said, “Now, for the Tar Heels who are watching, I picked you all last year — you let me down. This year, don’t embarrass me in front of the nation, all right? I’m counting on you. I still got those sneakers you guys gave me.”
The admonition worked; [...]
Michigan State won!!! NOBODY in this pool called Michigan State. In fact, a lot of people, including me, thought they were ranked too high or something and picked them to make a rather early (or at least earlier than their rank would indicate) exit. But nooooo, they made it, they upset Louisville [...]
Sorry guys for the lack of updating. YB came to visit this weekend, and we were out doing other things instead of paying attention to basketball. Actually, we talked about basketball a lot more than we do relatively, but it was a v. low absolute amount of basketball. Still, I heard enough [...]
Even though I didn’t do too well in the first round, it was still pretty awesome to see the 10, 11, and 12 seeds still hanging in. Even if it completely screws up my bracket, the possibility of a double digit seeded team doing well in the tournament balances out my disappointment enough. [...]
I don’t know how this is happening, but it’s happening, and it’s no one day fluke. At this point, it’s a two day fluke. Yup, that CT, she’s still in the lead, all by herself. At least it wasn’t like she picked one game wrong. But everyone did a little worse [...]
CT’s new secret strategy, the one she refused to discuss when she visited me, the one I laughed at her for, was worth keeping secret after all. She’s in the LEAD!!! Whaaaaaaaa?!
Here, look for yourselves:
Let me say again, whaaaaaaa?! She missed one game! ONE! Actually though, as a group, we [...]
I just remembered, I can write a post and schedule it for later. I know I know, Wordpress has been able to do that for a while now. I guess I’m sort of an ignoramus about a lot of things besides basketball, but whatevs!
So the brackets, and if you don’t see yours, and [...]
