March Madness Bracket Update, Day 1: I'm Screwed


Allright, maybe I'm not that bad off, but under no circumstances am I in good shape, just middle of the pack by any measure you choose, but it just feels worse.  Why?  Because of frigen Morehead St and their delightfully entertaining school shirts (pictured above). 

Despite the Maestro's warnings I liked what I saw from Louisville in the Big East Tourney and decided I was going to ride them all the way to the Elite 8, including an upset over Kansas.  What do they do? They go out and pull a Choke-Job on MoreHead State.  A sloppy, humiliating choke job. 

On the plus side I am still leading both of the Maestro's brackets (because he's the kind of guy who does multiple entries in one pool).  In his defense he pretty much locked himself into Belmont with his Pre-Pre NCAA prediction a couple of weeks ago, at least I hope that's the reason he chose them over a poorly seeded Wisconsin team.   At any rate he's sure to hear an ear full in a couple of hours as a meeting of the minds for this blog convenes at Game On for today's tables slate of action.
