Couple Things on My Mind

First of all, this picture is from cafepress.com and struck me as being quite unique. If anyone's heard the term "Masshole" and understood it to be some kind of perverse compliment, you might enjoy the site (http://www.cafepress.com/buy/massachusetts). Also, I have to admit my NCAA bracket is completely devistated. In spite of picking the entire "East" bracket correctly, so far, I only picked four of the remaining twelve "Sweet Sixteen" teams correctly. Wisconsin? 'Nova? Davidson? Western Kentucky?!?! Who comes up with this stuff?
ESPN had more than 3 million brackets registered on their website. Only 2 have all 16 "Sweet Sixteen" teams correct. By the way, do you know what the "M" in Masacchusetts is for? How do 3 million people try something and only 2 people get half way through it? And that isn't to say that either of those two people has their entire bracket correct: only that they have the Sweet Sixteen correct. Wow. Exactly how many lead paint chips does it take to conceive of the possibility that Stanford, Xavier, and West Virginia would beat Connecticut, Purdue, and Duke to make it to the third round of "the Big Dance?" More importantly, I understand this is the advantage to sucking down paint chips like they were Frosted Flakes, but what's the trade off, right?
Hey, keep in mind I'm the guy with the laughable bracket and 50% of the Sweet Sixteen's participants. Congrats to anyone who did better.
