Even though I’ve largely ignored college basketball, except for the few moments I was sucked into believing Ole Miss was putting it all together (HOW SILLY OF ME), I will never give up on my quest to win as many NCAA Tournament bracket pools as possible. I started filling out a bracket way back in 1993, pre-internet and by hand, DEAR LORD HOW PRIMATIVE THE TIMES WERE BACK THEN, and since starting this March ritual I’ve won only one pool. Ever.
Despite years of failure, I will always fill out a bracket because I could never pass up the opportunity to wave the banner of how smart I am when one of my dumb picks actually happens. KNEEL BEFORE MY BASKETBALL KNOWLEDGE, PEASANTS.
So, I’ve set up a bracket pool and encourage all to enter. There will be prizes for the top three spots, and while I’m not sure what they are now, I’m sure they’ll be quite nice. Also, as a bit of motivation, the person finishing in last will receive some sort of public shaming (no free rides around here). If that happens to be me, and odds are strong to quite strong it will be, I will turn the shaming over to the winner of the pool, or whoever really, really wants to do it.
The games don’t start until a week from Thursday, so you’ve got plenty of time to sign up and ponder how not to finish in last place. All the sign-up information is listed below, but if you should have any questions or it’s not working properly, feel free to badger me with questions or general outrage.
