Wott's everyone's Final Four and eventual champion? I have UConn, Alabama, Marquette & Creighton (almost went with Tennessee). Last year as a #4 seed I picked UConn and this year I think they're even better, no reason not to pick them again. The one team they may have to watch out for in their regional is Auburn.

UConn, Baylor, (I have them beating Alabama. That was a tough one), Kentucky, and Tennessee. I wanted to take someone to knock off Houston and it was either Duke or Kentucky for me.

In the final I have UConn over Tennessee.

I am in another one that is weird. You take one team with each seeding, 1 thru 16. This was kind of tough. Numbers 1 thru 4 I took a team from each region. You get points as you move along. Who cares who you take in the high seeds. It should be fun.

Goooooooooooooooooooood 'ol Bracket Busted Day! I had mixed emotions last night watching the Oakland/Kentucky game. I had Kentucky in the Final Four. But I got my M.B.A. from Oakland so I am really proud of the team. One more win tomorrow night and we are in the Sweet 16! Never happened before.

Nebraska played their worst two games of the year the last two, not a good strategy. Wisconsin got as high as #6 and then just collapsed. I couldn't believe that they got seeded as a #5. Only less deserving seed was Kansas as a #4.

But Meeechigan didn't lose. Wink  

Alas, I got home late yesterday afternoon looking forward to both of my alma maters playing. Both lost. Michigan State was totally outplayed by Carolina. The Oakland game was tougher. The threes they made in the prior game weren't working last night. Some of the shots they took were foolish IMO. It would have been so cool had they made it to the second weekend.

Wisconsin was ranked that high? I don't recall that. I think Kansas got a 4 seed simply because it was Kansas. Name brand.

Yes, Wisconsin was #6 (roughly 2/3 of the way through the season) when the Huskers beat them. After that they sort of imploded.

Nasty turn to the weather, major drop in temperature and possibly 1-3" of snow overnight.

Big Ten still has Purdue & Illinois. I think Illinois loses to Iowa St (Chad) and Purdue goes on for one more game.

Meeechigan will be back in a few years. Unamused

Been busy lately, volunteering 2 days a week at a food pantry, indoor golf, and watching the granddaughter 2 days a week.  Heading up to Grand Rapids next week for a few days, then the Toledo area to watch the eclipse.

If you are in Toledo, you HAVE to go to Tony Packo's for lunch or dinner.

Tony Packo's Cafe - Tony Packo's

This place is so cool. The walls are all covered with autographed pictures of celebrities. There is (or was) this thing about people autographing hot dog buns. And bring home bottles of their pickles and special sauce. The place is great!

Hope everybody had a nice Easter.   We had a nice weekend - had all the kids over Saturday to celebrate my wife's birthday, then went to my wife's sister's house for Easter.  They had about 36 people and a lot of loud kids.  Got to see my granddaughter 4 days in row - she is so much fun now - coming up on 10 months old.  She is crawling everywhere now.  Later this week we will be off to Grand Rapids - wish the weather was going to be warmer and dryer than it is ...
