Yes, let the record show … I SUCK AT THE BRACKET!
Most sports fans will tell you this, or at least I will. The more you know about the game, the less it helps you when you do these NCAA brackets on a yearly basis. You think about games, you analyze, you know there’s going to be upsets so you make stupid selections. All of these things rang true this year, and the unpredictability of a 11-seed like George Mason making the Final Four didn’t help.
All in all, I finished in the bottom third of the AST Sales bracket (I didn’t get to Columbus in time to do the Karlsberger one). Brian in the office won as he successfully picked UCLA to go to the finals, which they have done. I don’t even remember where I finished in the Game Junkie pool, but it was ugly! (I just checked, 21st out of 28)
Heck, my picks were almost gone after the first weekend. (OSU, North Carolina, Duke, Kansas)
There is always next year, and I’ll have to figure out if I’m gonna do any Fantasy Baseball. I didn’t last year, didn’t have time. I might bow out and just do the video games.
