The Unproductive Weekend Ahead

Today brings a rollercoaster of emotions for millions across this great nation. Before us is an ebb and flow tide of joy and anger, frustration and relief. A trying and triumphant unofficial national holiday. Break out the cheap beer and leave work early. The NCAA tournament begins today. Not much more can be said.

As far as my primary bracket goes (who really fills out just one?), my picks feel far “too safe” to even dream of having a bracket as successful as last year’s when I unbelievably finished #1606 of the roughly two million entries on ESPN.com. Time will tell.

For now, a question for the ages. Do I do the unthinkable and clandestinely hope that Clemson actually wins two games for the sake of bracket bragging rights, or do I hope that they lose in the first round, you know, because they’re Clemson. *Shudder*

Final 4 Picks
UNC
Kansas
Texas
UCLA (eventual champion)
