Standings Are Posted

The first set of standings have been posted...and as usual, I have some observations.

  • Andrew #2 - Our current leader got 3 of the 4 First Round games correct. In the Second Round games, he got the South and East Regions correct and two wrong in each of the Midwest and West Regions. Good job.
  • Andrew #1 - He did a nice job with this bracket. Has UConn to win it all. I think every year one of his brackets has UConn to win it all. In fact, he would probably pick UConn to win the NCAA championship, even if they were in the NIT.
  • Jeff - Got the entire East Region correct in the Second Round and correctly picked Tennessee in both the First and Second Rounds.
  • Lynn - Got the entire East Region correct in The Second Round, but, unfortunately for her, had Duke winning it all. The rest of us thank you for your $10 contribution.
  • Elaine - The only bracketeer to correctly pick the four winners in the First Round.
  • Pam - To answer the question that I am asked every year, no she doesn't get any special consideration - not that she hasn't tried.
  • Karen - New to the bracket this year. Our neighbor across the street. We think she should be nominated for sainthood for having to put up with Dale. Got the entire East Region correct in the Second Round.
  • Mike - Nothing special in this bracket.
  • Betty - Seems to think she should win because of her relationship with a certain individual - HA!!!. No way, Mom.
  • Marc - Got the entire South Region correct in the Second Round.
  • Matt - It will be an uphill climb, but a good looking bracket - at least on paper. Unfortunately, they have to play the games.
  • Meg - New to the bracket this year. She comes to it by way of Matt. Seems that they have been hanging out together. Like Matt, an uphill climb, but will probably win it all if she has correctly picked the champion because she is the only bracketeer with that team.
  • Phaon - Like Lynn, picked Duke to win it all. Won with them one year, but not this year. Thanks for the ten bucks.
  • Dale - New to the bracket this year. Our neighbor across the street. All that I can say is, I feel sorry for Karen. Actually, he's a good neighbor. He should check with Karen the next time he has to make any picks.
  • Jason - Rough First and Second Rounds, but still has a shot at some money.
Feel free to make any comments.
I believe that you have to register to do that.
Good luck in the Sweet Sixteen Round.

For the past million years I have used a individually created, high tech, masterful system to choose the teams for my bracket. And for years I have been ahead of my time. If, by the way, you went back and looked at previous brackets, you would be astounded because my picks were astounding. Every single choice was correct.
This year, after taking so much kidding (not all of it in good humor), I decided to puzzle over the bracket by looking at the standings to make my choices. And what happens to me, Duke is out in the second round! Pshaw! I'll go back to the LMW method, copyright pending.
Good luck to all... well, almost all!
