was never my sport.
I wasn’t tall enough to play, and even when I played with the short kids I never made a basket.
When I was an RA, 2UW basketball players lived on my floor. Does that count?
Nevertheless, I always fill in my brackets. And here’s how I made my picks.
Initially, I had UW winning it all. I mean, how can I expect them to win if I have no faith. I’d feel horrible if they won and I picked them to lose. It’s like I didn’t believe in them. But then I read an article and it said that for the past 22 years, a #4 seed or better has won. So UW got the axe.
I’ve always had a thing for Xavier – maybe it’s my love of X-men. They let me down every year.
I picked both the Kansas teams….because I’ve been to Kansas City and had dinner near the University of Kansas campus.
I picked Notre Dame because my friend really likes the school.
Gonzaga – because they are like a classier version of the Cougs.
UCLA because I visited the campus this year. Saw Neuheisel.
I have good friends from Michigan, so they survived a few rounds.
Our other friends are currently living in Arizona, and you have to stay semi-faithful to the pac-10.
Temple sounded like they might have a god on their side. Always helpful.
Pittsburg was rated #1….so that made it easy.
Old Dominion was mentioned in the Blind Side, right? And I love Sandra Bullock. Screw you , Jesse James! Nick just said it was Ol’ Miss. Oops.
The rest was a crap shoot. But hey, I’m currently winning our bracket (at 10PM on Friday night). We’ll see if my random method for picking holds out.
