Before the tournament began, I said I had no confidence in any of my picks this year.   Ah, the power of negative thought.  Within the first three games, I’ve already lost two.  BYU and Butler were winners in my bracket but losers in reality.  Reality bites. 

Now, I’m looking at the rest of it and wondering, “How bad can this get?”  I have Gonzaga in the final four, beating UNC on their way.  I broke my own final four rule (you must know at least one player on your final four team).  I’m starting to think I had some sort of medical issue when I was filling this out last night. 

As I type, Cal is down by 10 to Maryland.  Of course, I picked Cal.  Berkley.  Cal Berkley.  This is terrible.

What’s worse is, this is my job.  I’m supposed to know not to pick Gonzaga, and BYU and Cal Berkley. I hope my boss is not reading this.

Anyway, I guess this is what makes the tournament fun.  Nobody knows, or at least I don’t know what’s going to happen.   Time to start rooting really REALLY hard for Pittsburgh.  Because, everyone knows, it’s all about picking the champion.  Everything else is just kids stuff, right?
