No need. Believe me, it doesn't improve your performance.

I reiterate...brackets destroyed!

Unf'nbelievable...all three games so far have been exciting. And VCU is basically telling everybody to shut up about them belonging.

Red face March Madness.......Indeed

With two games left only FIVE people in our bracket can get any points anymore. Amazing!

And I think a Kentucky win over UConn finishes them off.

Exclamation

On the ESPN main tourney page, the national leader has THIS EXACT FINAL FOUR!

If VCU wins this guy becomes a cult hero.

There are several others that are close and have three of the four (VCU being the obvious omission).

Well, at least I have the consolation of knowing that Mark T. DeNucci, Sr. is crying in his beer over his beloved Ohio State Buckeyes.

I don't know how that guy picked all four teams correctly. My only explanation is witchcraft...possibly a sorcerer.

There are three astronauts, a blonde, a brunette, and a redhead. The brunette astronaut is bragging to the others that she, and the redhead astronaut, were the first two women to land on the Moon. Not to be outdone, the blonde astronaut says that she will be the first to land on the Sun. The brunette, and the redhead, both respond by saying , "You can't land on the Sun, its too hot." The blonde astronaut responds by saying, "I'm going to land at night."

If he is a golfer, the correct term would be "hacker".
