    NCAA Tourney Pools

    I'm 22-10 in the first round with nine of my losses picked to go nowhere else.

    Unfortunately I had Kansas in the final game.

    26-6 baby.

    With only Iowa picked to win another game. So I can conceivably get 15/16 in the next round.

    George Mason, Texas A&M, I called 'em.

    If you just picked the higher seed, you'd be 23-9.

    So essentially TD, that's like scoring under 50% on a true/false test...

    I'm 23-9 without only selecting the higher seed. But, I'm 8-0 in the D.C. region. Go George Mason!

    Ah, there's nothing more exciting than science. You get all the fun of sitting still, being quiet, writing down numbers, paying attention... Science has it all.

    I picked 11 of the Sweet 16.

    I'm totally screwed.

    UConn is the only team I got right in the Washington region.

    You gotta get in with an easier bunch. We have 15 in ours, I've only got 10 in the Sweet 16, yet I'm in first (for now). Unfortunatly, that means rooting for Texas and UConn.

    Serious depression going on in our office bragging-rights-only contest. The guy in the lead admits that he knows nothing about basketball. He told me he picked George Mason because he liked the name.

    I only have nine right in the Sweet Sixteen, but I still have a chance because so many others in the contest had a poor year as well. Our leader has a fair number of his future picks already eliminated, so some of us may yet be able to pass him.

    OK I'll Lie

    I'm perfect in the pool so far and whoever wins that is the team I picked.

    NCAA Tourney Pools are like playing the stock market. A panel of experts might get beat out by a chimp throwing darts at a wall.

    That's what I say when I lose.

    I won a big NCAA pool once and, of course, it was because of my superior basketball knowledge.
