round 1, done. and i may be too.
first off (let me deflect by saying that), major miles is a whiner. he refuses, until the last minute, to get in on the big kansas city’s morning news ncaa bracket blowout because he’s worried that people like ellen and me, who pick teams by pretty uniforms or the characteristics of their names, will win and make him look like an idiot.
yet after round 1 of the ncaa tournament, who sits alone atop the bracket rankins? maj! and who sits alone in the toilet?
me.
and nobody wants the much coveted b.k.c.m.n.n.c.a.a.b.b. grand prize more than i do! mmmmmmmmm, oreos!
but that looks unlikely as my strategy for picking winners — by counting the number of vowels in the college’s name — appears to be failing miserably. i don’t even wanna talk about it.
so after round 1, it’s maj, followed by gary lezak, gallo, klingler and mark in third, jayme alone in 6th place, ellen (who had wake forest in the finals — oops) and jeff bell in 7th and me dead last (1/2 of my midwest bracket was completely wrong. thanks no dak state!
at least it’s the weekend. i can get up late, eat and forget about it all.
rock’n'roll
