March Madness

Playing in my first ever pool is such an educational experience. So far, I have learned three things about the NCAA basketball tournament.
  1. A Jaguar as your mascot = a first round loss and subsequent one-way ticket home.
  2. Never put your faith in a team who makes its home in the state that gave us Bill Clinton. They will disappoint.
  3. You do not want to be the #5 seed. I did not know this. Actual basketball fans do. Consider me educated.

I entered a pool in high school one year and won! It was only because I picked Duke to win (as I always do) and they went to the championship game, so I got big points for that. But it was still a proud moment because I got the respect of a lot of guys after that!

You're also in a four way tie for fourth place, only two points back from the leaders. No one close to you picked 'Nova to win, so there is a shot that you could pull it off.
