Homage and Approbatives
No cause for putting off the inevitable. Among the eleven participants in the 3rd annual Bloggers' Mad Dance pool not a single bracket has a remaining Final Four team winning another game. It is, therefore, complete, finished, with points totaled a full five days before the Final Four and a solid week before the championship game. Winner: Chuck. He joins the prideful elite: last year's winner, Mike Jackson, and the winner in '04, Jeff. In second this year, Ph., followed by Bill in third. And then the rest:
Purely for posterity's sake, I'm going to share my final four selections. I expect UCLA and Florida to meet in the finals, which means I'm picking LSU and George Mason to advance. And I expect LSU to beat George Mason in that match-up, so I'm picking George Mason to win the big prize. Anti-impulse, of course, but the other methods weren't worth a damn this year.

Lesson: next year, I will pick a name less immediately and obviously identifiable as myself. No guarantee my picks'll be any better, of course...

GO GATORS!
Posted by: jeff at March 29, 2006 12:41 PMIf play last weekend is any indication, I'm thinking the smart $$'s on LSU and Florida bucking it out for the championship...but I'm definitely hoping George Mason's run continues (all the way??). Probably just the nostalgia in me, as a graduate of a mid-major school.
