Another guy on ESPN has VCU winning it all over Connecticut, and he picked Connecticut vs Kentucky in the national semifinal. However, he had Florida winning the other region, so he's 3 for 4.

Still crazy to even have 3.

I bet these guys entered many many brackets and this is just one that they entered. IF the person entered only one then its incredible. But I highly doubt that.

Even if he entered 100, the odds of a 68-team field and getting all 4 right, with a 3-seed, a 4-seed, an 8-seed and 11-seed is astronomical.

It's like saying the guy who wins the 300+ million Mega Millions didn't get "as lucky" because he bought $100 worth of tickets...

And he won't even win the contest if Kentucky wins it all.

Looks like he has company, but this dude isn't close to getting any pub out of it.

Lol...that's because his tiebreaking score is surely going to be what he nails. Ridiculous tiebreaker. Then again, I would've said that is a ridiculous bracket going in...so what do I know.

I'm guessing jspearlman is some 50 year old lady who works as an office secretary. She probably picked the teams based on which mascots/uniforms she liked the best. At least, that is how it always seems to work out in my office pools.
