I'm in. Who else?

(aka shameless thread bump)
My infamous beer stained coaster/pseudo-coin flipper/chooser has made its appearance and lodged its choices again.
Yep. I'm in. Anything's better than what I'm supposed to be working on.
Picks just sent via PM.

thanks for the verification 13thOwl. Not a lot of thought went into my selections, however. One of the days I permitted work to interfere with an important matter so I had to hurry the picks.

looking forward to the contests .. and Go Jackets!!!!!
A couple of quick thanks:

NoodleOwl for the promotion of this contest.

Owlex Trebeak for the scorekeeping spreadsheet.

MOBalum for the adaptation/creation of the June Lunacy Contest.

Woohoo! So perfectly average that I was placed in the middle of the median/mean group. Of course the fact that I had Coastal Carolina in the Supers doesn't help. Plus I've already lost a few of my regional finalist picks.
I wonder when my Florida-to-Omaha upset prediction will bite my score.
So how y'all doing? I only got 5/8 SR participants in each half of my bracket, but I still have 7/8 CWS participants alive. (I had ASU beating Fullerton & making it through, but going 2nQ in Omaha)
