What a wild ride that first week was, huh? And this weekend’s games should be even better. All things considered, I felt pretty good about picking twelve out of sixteen teams correctly to make it this far. I know, 75% won’t make you much money in the betting world, but there were a lot of […]

It’s that time again. March Madness! Time to scour all of the data from the past four months for 68 different teams. Time to be repaid for the countless hours of dedicated research, watching every conceivable NCAA Division I basketball game available to mankind since Thanksgiving-ish.

Was that a great tournament or what? Tons of upsets in the early rounds. A few more upsets in the middle rounds.

Now that round two is finally over, we all face the daunting task of searching the shambles that once were our brackets for something to be encouraged about. The scene resembles the gathering of the dead after a classic battle between the Greeks and Trojans in the epic movie Troy. If I were an eternal […]

Now that the results of round one have been officially logged, I, like most people across this fine country, find myself sifting through the carnage of my brackets and thinking to myself, “Next year I’m paying more attention during the regular season”!

Everybody was telling me to wait one more day before I announced my picks for the NCAA men’s tournament. I even had a feeling in my gut telling me the same thing. All I had to do was listen and I’d be okay. But NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! (A little John Belushi humor there.) I had to go ahead […]

The brackets are set, 68 teams are in and at least fifteen more are grumbling that they should have been in if only .……. well, you can fill in the blank with whatever you want. I just want to get on with making my picks. There’s a couple of reasons for that. First, if I […]
