Is your bracket busted?
If you read the newspaper, you might remember I had a short little column in last Monday's sports section, "10 simple rules for filling out your NCAA bracket." I'm out of the running for the $1 million in our March Madness contest but I'm holding my own in some other bracket contests. I wanted to do a little experiment this season, so I filled out two brackets. The first one, I just looked over the brackets and filled in without rhyme or reason. The second, I followed my own advice. Believe it or not, I'm doing better when I've followed the 10 rules. I have 13 teams in the Sweet 16, with just one team knocked out of the Elite 8 (Florida State). My Final Four is the same in both brackets (UNC, Memphis, Louisville and Duke) but bracket No. 1 has Memphis defeating UNC in the finals. Bracket No. 2 has top seed UNC defeating second seed Memphis. If you have an office pool or you're playing in one of the national contests, how are you doing? 5 comments from 4 users

I think OU is going to win it, however, my bracket is completely busted. I had Wake Forest and UCLA in the Final Four. Oh well...there's always next year. posted by

Good Tuesday morning. Jay Leno: 'President Obama picked 14 of the Sweet 16 right. That's pretty good – better than he did with his Cabinet.' (ESPN is tracking his picks as 'Baracketology.') Leno says President Bush's book about a dozen big decisions in his life will be called '0 for 12.' Source:Politico posted by

You made me laugh montfred. With what's going on today at work, I didn't think that was possible but thank you.
