Amazing!
I posted earlier that ESPN had lost my bracket. I sent them an email last night voicing my disappointment with their system and how I might not play any more of their fantasy games, although I have been a regular for several years.
Amazingly enough, the bracket appeared today. Who woulda thunk? Pretty convenient, I’d say!
I was wrong on what I said my Final Four teams were – on that bracket, I had Oklahoma instead of Duke.
I realize my Final Four is contrary to any of the picks the “experts” have picked. What do they know? They couldn’t even see that Washington would be a #1 Seed! My bracket is better than Dan Patrick’s right now!
I’m in the 91st percentile in the ESPN.com bracket, only getting the Creighton, Florida, Syracuse and Charlotte, LSU games wrong (so far). The one for the Courier Press is a little better, but you only pick one round at a time. I am in the 85th percentile nationwide, and tied for 35th in the regional leaderboard. Some of my picks were different, having gotten only 4 wrong (I picked Vermont over Syracuse in that one, after thinking about it more yesterday).
Gotta love those brackets! It’s madness! We’ll see how I’ve done by the end of the night. I’m not too sure about the games that are scheduled tonight.

I’d like to say I picked Bucknell over Kansas. I thought about it for 10 seconds, max. Then, I chose the Jayhawks. What a great game, though!
At least only one of my Sweet 16 teams lost in the first round. I’m sure Kansas screwed up lots of people’s brackets, so I’m not too worried.
