Bold musings from a guy who likes to think he knows something about college basketball (see previous post). I probably though failed to mention, when guaranteeing VCU and North Dakota State victories, that I also backed Lehman Brothers, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and the French in most any war.
Sorry about that.
The one I got right was [...]

For the record: the response and what happened to the Terps

For the Record
March 18, 2009
No event so massively engulfs a sports fan like the Men’s NCAA Tourney. It also brings in the passive fans, and compels people to care that otherwise know nothing about the game (how awesome is it to be in a pool with someone who has Chattanooga to the Elite 8 and Maryland winning it all!!). [...]

At least I imagine they would, can’t seem to findy any here at work to ask. But rarely does the prank get past the day dream stage. Who actually follows through on something [...]
Wake Boarded
March 4, 2009
Now they must do more. The Terps had their chance to lock up a bid to the NCAA Tourney last night. A win over Wake Forest would have been their 3rd over a top ten this season, and guaranteed at least a .500 record in the ACC. Their placement in the brackets could have been written [...]
