I am currently leading the No Help Desk bracket. I can say without a doubt that not watching any basketball this year CAUSED this high performance.

Forget the toasted wrap combo, bring this bracket to Iowa where, despite liking Drake more than most Iowans, you would be in second place in a 42-deep pool and in contention for the $150 pot. How much pot does $150 get you in NYC? JP?

Drake is toast. Out of 42 submissions in my office pool, a grand total of zero picked Western-Kentucky.

The Kernel Colonel approves, but even I can’ take Drake as a homer pick over UCLA.

OK, here's my 2008 bracket, for my sister (PDF format). It doubles as a coupon for KFC!

Yay Vandy! Are we still in it? Should I be watching? I don’t even know how to find sports on the teevee.

I know this is the equivalent of bidding $1 on the Price is Right, but I may pick only the favorites in each matchup this year.

Uh, I’ll assume that first comment was sarcastic.

Then again, I’m running the pool in my office and just received a bracket with Wisconsin and Austin Peay in the final. Xavier and ND are the other two final four picks.

As for my picks. I filled out one bracket with all four 2 seeds making the final four. I had another with all four 1 seeds. To me, those are boring, but it seems to me that there are 8 head and shoulders above the rest. Possible upset teams this year…K-State, Kentucky, Pitt and Purdue.

Do it for your sister.

I’ve watched quite a bit of Pac-10 bball, and I have to recommend Oregon making a deep run.
