A perfect bracket. A quick google search says that has odds of 18.5 quintillion to 1. Really?

I expect my bracket to end up badly. I didn't do any research. I just went down the list and chose at random. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

I was 14 when I did it... 14 years ago...

And to be honest... My last year in the Navy a dude picked a perfect bracket to beat me.

Damn... Murray State just made me want to throw my bracket away.

Kansas vs Kansas St
Kentucky vs Nova

Forget the perfect bracket. I found the "I picked the Final 4 every bracket but 1 since I was a teenager" claim dubious. What was the one you missed? The George Mason year? And what's your Final Four this year?

To be honest the one I messed up was last year. Putting Pitt in the Final 4 was my only blemish...

As for the one George Mason was in. I didn't do a bracket that year because I was in Europe on a Cruise. So yes I probably wouldn't have gotten it that year also.

the Big East has been less than impressive today.

No doubt, but at least we're not the SEC, which is 0-2 so far. The only undefeated conference out of those who have played is the Big XII which is 2-0. It's been a good day for the non-powers, as "midmajors" are 3-1 against power conferences (not counting 2-15s or Richmond/St.M since those are both midmajor). We'll see how it evens out in the end but again - at least we're not the SEC. Only 2 teams left for them.

Georgetown and Marquette still have yet to play today. Perhaps they'll improve on the previous efforts...
