This Michigan - Montana game is making my eyes bleed

Went with a lot more upsets than usual this year, and missing all of them.  But I don't think I've lost any S16 teams yet.  

Frickin' SFA was making me look like a genius, until they didn't.

And ARI was my darkhorse champion.  Would basically win me my bracket (only 2 others picked them).  So making me look like an idiot so far.

Which is why I always do 2 brackets - usually one still looks decent after the first weekend, to keep things interesting.

Also took Zona.  They better wake up very soon, or I can disregard all my pools for the rest of the tournament.

Down 13.....you made the same bet that I did - that all the distractions would bring a talented team together.

and VTU is going down....several games tonight, because of lost players or banged up players, that I thought were easy "upsets".  Missed all of them

sigh....day started so promising for me.  Might be my worse Day 1 in the 25 years I've been doing this.

Arizona isn't gonna just lose.  They're getting their ass kicked.

This might be the single worst day of bracket picking in my entire life.  lol

It all seems really wide open this year, which is why I had so many upsets.

I like Michigan, Purdue and MSU all to go on runs.....and NEVER bet on B1G like that.   Should be a really crazy tourney.

Every time I look at the score Buffalo has increased the lead.

Man I really don’t like that charge call. I know it is but I never like that called. Shot long since released and guy lands 3 feet later.

I never like that call.

The other half of that bracket was MSU for me, which would normally make-up ground except half my pool has them in the final or winning.

Going to root for last place for that entry so I get my money back :)
