Pick Me The Winner



Like every sports nut, I do up my brackets every March for March Madness. And just like most sports nuts, every year my picks suck swamp water. This year, Phat's invited me to join his bracket contest. This time around something miraculous happened. No I sucked just as bad as most years, but luckily I sucked the least in the West bracket. So far I have only correctly picked 5 out of 8 but so far UCLA is still in it to win it.

So thanks Phat's for letting me play. In case anyone wants to know. My picks for the final four are still in it to win it. So I will predict out the final four. In the East, I don't see anyone knocking off North Carolina. In the Midwest, it's a toss up between Kansas and Georgetown. They both look damned good but I have to give Georgetown the edge. In the South, I have to go with Stanford although I will be rooting for Texas. In the West, UCLA just keeps on finding ways to win.

In the final four, I think North Carolina and UCLA will come out on top. And in a barn burner, UCLA will find a way to come out with a way to win the big dance.

For those not interested in basketball brackets I have stolen and listed a few reasons why basketball is possibly better than sex.

  1. There is always a coach that can tell you the best time to take it to the hole.
  2. You know you are done when the horn sounds
  3. Being double teamed is common.
  4. You always try to score in 24 seconds.
  5. There's always someone with a towel to come up and wipe up the wet spots.

Jokes stolen here.

In It To Win It


Maybe I bit off more than I can chew but I could not turn down Phat's offer of letting me enter his brackets contest. I am lousy at making brackets. For some reason the Cinderella teams that I pick turn into the ugly step-sister and the big name big time programs that I pick turn into big time losers. I suppose that I am either very unlucky or my pick talents are about equal to my on court talents. Either way, to see how badly I will be stomped just click over to Phat's place and show some love. It should be good for a few laughs at my expense. And what could be better than that?
