My Bracket is Lame

So, I threw caution to the wind and got involved in this bracket thing again this year. Now, after two rounds of some of the most gut wrenching defeats I can remember ever enduring, I'm wondering if I'll make it through to the final. The sad thing is that thus far none of this has killed me nor made me stronger, it has just pissed me off. I think I am developing high blood pressure and I almost lost consciousness at Shorty's during the Carolina upset. What are these guys doing to me?



I am pissed at Ohio State and UNC the most. Not because I had them both going to the Elite Eight and they are history, but because they barely showed up in this tournament and I had to sit through it. Not to mention that I'll then be heckled by one of my co-workers at the restaurant who picked Georgetown. Georgetown? C'mon! What happened Buckeyes? I don't know if I can stomach the reason my bracket sucks so bad is because these guys basically threw it away. It may mark another bitter loss for me in the sports betting arena, but it definitely marks the point in my life when I have realized that NCAA basketball is just too competetive to really bet on with any degree of certainty. Anything can happen in these tournaments. Anything. The point where I began to think that I knew what was going to happen in this tournament was when I entered into a fantasy land.

Other teams I'm mad at: Kansas, Tennessee, Illinois. You guys really screwed me, are you happy now??
