March Madness

How the mighty have fallen. Sigh. Andrew Hudson has spent the week solidly in first place. Sweet, isn’t it, Andrew? We join the defenders team in hoping this early success doesn’t go to the Australian’s head. Be warned: if you fly too close to the sun, your wings may melt and you will fall. Since I myself fell, I’ve been far more interested in last place, being battled over heroically by Amigas (is that you, Nathalie and Alex?!) and Kurt. There’s a prize in it if you can claim last place. Anyway, here’s hoping for sufficient upset so that dear departing Sandy Hall can take top place, knocking some Andrews and a Reagan out of the way in the process. Oh, how I wish this were fixed.

In terms of the actual games, I will just say that each year I know in my heart that Duke sucks, and each year I pick them to go too far. Just another example of how much Duke sucks, you know? Tricking us into picking them despite our better judgment and then letting us down. I swear it’s out of spite.

March Madness

I was going to use this space to make some witty comments, refer to the rankings, say something about upsets and surprises in the games so far, say that Duke sucks, etc. But, carpe diem, I am in first place and surely not going to stay there. So I’ll talk a little smack, while I’m here (totally different from trash talk, btw): You all are so bad at picking brackets, that you are currently losing to someone who once had a pet rabbit named Captain Picard. TODAY I AM THE PRESIDENT OF MARCH MADNESS.
