  1. Tim, this is "Brilllllant" as the Guiness commercial goes (I only say that since I just purchased 8 tall cans of Guiness in order to get a free glass, so its on my mind).

    I am having a hard time reconciling how Purdue is an 9, Michigan St is an 8, and Marquette is an 8? Do they factor in loss of top defender in the brackets? Anyway, here are my predicitons:

    I do not like teams:
    -Contain ampersand (this was really hard to find out how to spell)
    -Contain Tech
    -Contain a direction
    -Do not contain the name of one of the 50 states
    -Go by Acronyms (again, hard to spell)

    Trivia - How many teams do I have left?

    Stay Tuned.

  2. Tim, your last two posts have been brillant and caused me to laugh out loud.

    First, the Packer post indicating that Ted Thompson signed someone because our Cheese Sandwiches blog is equivalent to the bat phone. Where only the four of us and TT read it on a regular basis.

    Second, the Wildcats comments during the Villanova, Arizona & Kentucky comments was brillantly from a comedic standpoint.

    It's too bad Rotz doesn't read the blog because he really missed a great post.
