I filled out this bracket, plus 5 on ESPN & 1 on another website.  They are all a little bit different, although most have Kansas vs. Illinois in the final.  3 of my 5 ESPN brackets came through 16 for 16 today.  Whoopee!

Pressing Luck Marches On ... I'm now 22 of 24.  Happily, both the teams I guessed wrong on, I had losing in the next round anyway.

I have no idea  what, if any, were upsets.  Ah well.

Mark: nice comeback!

I'm currently still among the leader-board, but not for long, as I had Gonzaga going to the Final Four.  Whoops.  Awaiting the Mshray overtaking, here's the group scores as of 11am EST:

GAZ15 - (37 Points)
MSHRAY63 - (36 Points)
AVON2000 - (25 Points)
PRINCESSOFCAIRO - (20 Points)

The overall leader has 39, fwiw.

I'm even more clueless in basketball than football!

I picked a lot of the upsets, including W. Virginia over Wake Forest, Vermont over Syracuse & Utah over Oklahoma, but at the same time I had both Kansas & Gonzaga in the Final 4 with Kansas winning it all, so I have already lost most of my points

I have a long history of combining inadvertent successes with well-intentioned flops.  Par for the course.  Things aren't lookin' good for 'Nova, though ...

What a clever idea!  Me likes!

(We're too small a group to do something similar here, but I'll keep this in mind for larger boards!)

P.S.  Looks like it's gonna be an all-"Dark Star" Final Four.

There are NO coincidences: I was thinking of Village of the Damned yesterday and decided that when I got home last nite I'd look for a VOTD avatar. Then I turned on the Simpsons rerun and it was the ep where they see a VOTD parody at the Drive-in!

The good news is that Louisville, Arizona, and Illinois all won, keeping me tied for first place in this whole sheband.   :P

The bad news is that I just read the rules for the first time.  If I win, they might deny me the digital camera:

I. ELIGIBILITY

Except as otherwise specified, KFOG contests are open to all persons 18 years of age and older residing in the Nine County Bay Area.

I may need one of you to assume my identity.   :evil:

I have Villanova beating Illinois in the finals.  The other two are Gonzaga (whoops) and Louisville.  Of the other frontrunners, only one hasn't misfired on any Final Four candidates yet.  So I don't consider myself the favorite to win unless Nova takes it all.

So much for hoop dreams.  At least the winner will be someone who deserves it a little more than I.   :oops:
