Blazer Phil wads up bracket and drains a 12 footer in the circular file. Unlike the teams I picked for the final four.

I haven't missed a pick yet.

(of course, I haven't picked a pick yet either)

I've never had a pick for the championship game go out this early.

Damn you Steve Alford.

Harvard knocked out one of my Sweet 16 teams Other that I'm looking pretty good.

Same with me. I originally had New Mexico in the Final Four, but the MWC collapse last season had me rethink that. I also had Belmont knocking off Arizona in that same pod, and Pitt was the only other one I picked wrong. I'm sure by Sunday night everything will be all sorts of jacked up though.

Now that we've bragged about how well our brackets look after yesterday, they'll go straight to h#ll today. It always works like that for some reason.

I went 13-3 on the first day.

Missed on:
Oregon
California
Harvard

I originally had UNLV beating Cal as well. I switched that one and Wichita State at the same time, so that was a wash. I don't think many people are all got Harvard. I did pick Oregon to go to the Sweet 16, but after watching them and St. Louis play yesterday, I don't think that's going to happen anymore.

And GreenHornet, I'm certain our brackets will fall apart soon enough. Mine always does. I normally just hope to get half the Final Four, and see if that's enough to win the pool. Who did you guys pick to win it all?

11-5 for me. I'm sure I'll only get worse from here.

I went 14-2 on Thursday! I hate Harvard and Colorado State!

Blazeramo (I think) should be happy... I think he was a CSU guy.

I'm happy. I'm an anti-SEC guy.

Had Davidson beating Marquette and they managed to throw that game away in the final few seconds.

Also missed on:
Oregon
Harvard
Cal
Arizona

So my brackets not going that well :)

Sitting pretty so far today but NC State is trying really hard to muck that up.

One of my regions is seeking federal disaster relief funds since I had Wisconsin and New Mexico meeting in the Elite Eight.

As did I. And I had the Badgers advancing to the Final Four.

I guess if I was going to have my bracket blown up, I'm glad it came at the hands of a former UAB guy.

I've only missed one game so far .... outside of the West quadrant.

Wisconsin was in my 8 but I had New Mexico losing to 'Zona.

My boss is 19/20 in the first round so far.

So your boss is clueless about basketball.
