I'm in 4th place but have ZERO chance of winning. I can't even pass the person who is 10 points in front of me. Big East (G-Town/Nova/'Ville) and a lack of faith in Duke killed me.

The Duke thing really burns me because the only early season prediction I made was that Duke had the talent to be an Elite Eight team and then I turnaround and pick them to lose in the 2nd round.

I know you're north of them, but are you a Cubs fan?

LOL, nah, I like the Panthers. Had quite a few friends who went to UNI. I told my wife as we were watching that one that I'd like them to win even though it would just destroy my bracket. There's only one game a year when I root against them.

And that would not be dook, I take it.

Wait a minute? I just realized it. I wanted to pick Kansas State, instead of Kansas, in the final against Kentucky. Somehow the word, "State", got left off my bracket when I logged in. Maybe some type of computer error? How hard could it be to have somebody at ESPN just add the word, "State", to all my Kansas picks? Maybe I'll take a drive down the street to Bristol and see if they'll change my brackets?

Sure you can...one quarter of my bracket is toast. But I still have a shot at 3 of the FF, and both in the Champ. game...hey, maybe I could pass the guy in front of me?!!?

You and I are basically in the same boat. If one of our respective teams happens to win it all, one of us should be golden. If not, we've still got our health.

I'm a big Cornell fan.

1/2 of my bracket is toast and you and I have the same picks essentially in the brackets that I am still alive.

My PPR sucks.

In "gorgeous" Ithaca, NY. You probably know that.

Also becoming known as Suicide U, for reasons seemingly independent of the men's basketball team's success.

Also, Andy Bernard's alma mater.

No I am a Brewer fan, almost as painful as being a Cub fan but we are not really supposed to win. I am surrounded by Cub fans and most of them are pretty nice people

Even though they support the most pathetic team in the history of sport.

Can you tell I grew up on the South Side of the Windy City?

Which apparently also puts you on the south side of the intellegence line...

So, just curious as to what measure you use to quantify "most pathetic team in sports"? Is it total World Championships? Well, then the White Sox are just barely ahead at 3-2. And that certainly puts the Cubs ahead of other teams, such as the Padres, Mariners, Rangers, Brewers, Angels, etc., who have none. How would you say the Cubs are worse than say, the Pittsburgh Pirates, who set the record last season for the most consecutive losing seasons, for any major professional sport? Btw, they broke the record set by the (no, not the Cubs) but the Phillies.

Yep, it's been a long time since the Cubs won their last championship, and I'm sure it was a painful childhood memory for you to witness their victory parade. But please refrain from using such obviously unintellegent comments, as it reflects badly on all former Chicago-area residents. Besides, you don't want to wake up some morning to find a goat's head on the pillow next to you...
