Sorry, girl, my brackets may be screwed but I didn't pick Iowa to do
anything but win the first round in any of them. Those damned upsets... I'd be pissed if it didn't just make my year...

I had/have ...
UConn winning it all (with Iowa the runner-up). Ohio State and Gonzaga rounded out my Final Four.
My boyfriend and brother's brackets are still hanging in there, however ... which isn't helping.
No, I wouldn't hold my breath on West Virginia taking the title. Meanwhile, I'm left to just root for Villanova (the local team), who I don't really see as championship caliber, either.

Yeah, M.P.O., I have four pools going and they're all fucked. My best
one has West Virginia winning it all and what's the chance of that? And this from a guy who has picked ten national champs in the past couple decades, a couple of close calls (like last year), and won five pools. Oh, well, I still have Duke, Villanova, and Gonzaga in the other three. What sucks is, even if Duke wins, I'll lose the pool because I have them playing North Carolina for the damned title.

But, I love the Hallmark Channel!
How can mere basketball possibly top decade-old reruns of "The Father Dowling Mysteries"?
Seriously though, George Mason's success is a terrific story. Particularly after the coach suspended his best player (for the first game), after said player punched some opposing player in the nuts.
P.S. The Hawkeyes should be ashamed of themselves, btw. They fucked up my whole bracket.
