Brackets!

I've never been a huge basketball fan; however, I love brackets. And I usually end up doing surprisingly well because I don't really have any expectations for any of the teams. I  mean, I know who is supposed to be really good, but the rest of them is just A. looking at how they are seeded B. dumb luck and C. personal bias against a state or a school. Example: if I don't know what school the abbreviations stand for, or if I've never heard of the school, I don't pick them. Why? I figure that if they were that good, I would have heard the name before. Also, I hate Texas. I did pick Texas to win, but usually I always pick against them.

Know the best part? I am absolutely rockin' the brackets this year.

As of right now, I was only wrong on 5 teams, and this first round is nearly over! I think that's pretty bloody good, especially since I didn't expect any of those teams that I got wrong to actually go on to the next round.

My final four? Gonzaga, Wake Forest, Miss St. and UConn. Miss St. takes all against Gonzaga.

If I don't like bball, why do I bother? Well, it makes me like bball temporarily. Everywhere I go, there is a game on; when I become personally concerned with the outcome, suddenly it's that much more exciting.
