Rumors of my demise have been greatly exaggerated (Mark Twain)

Breaking News – GAME ON! Amazing but true in spite of not having a horse in the race for the NCAA Men's Championship, myself and two other people are the only ones with a chance to win the office bracket pool - and I'm presently leading in points?!? There are points awarded at each round of the tournament and up to this time I have the most and one outcome in next round will determine whether I win or it's between the other two. Here is how it will end:
  • Connecticut wins the national title - J.W.
  • Connecticut loses the title game - B.S.
  • Connecticut loses to Kentucky - me
$260 on the line. My original picks had Ohio State and Kansas in the finals, I was mistaken in my earlier post about having Connecticut in the finals. So if Kentucky wins neither of the other two will acquire the points to overtake me. It's pretty unusual how the whole tournament played out not having any of the No.1 or No.2 seeded teams making it to the finals thus allowing some strange scenario such as this to play out. Adds a bit of spice to the whole thing... don't you think?
