So, how are your brackets holding up? Sadly, nothing can save mine … they were machine-gunned like they were trying to advance on the Marines in last night’s episode of The Pacific. I’m in three pools, and only one person in all of them picked Cornell to reach the Sweet 16. We’ve completed two rounds, and a Final Four of Cornell, St. Mary’s, Northern Iowa and Butler is still a real possibility. We’re down the rabbit hole; never before has the receptionist who makes her picks by cuteness of team mascots been in a better position to win your pool. Today Bill Self is not the only one crying the tears of unfathomable sadness.
Jon Jones, however … I’m no UFC expert, but apparently he’s no fluke.
That’s it, Monday, I’ve had it. I will turn this car around right now.
ABOUT LAST NIGHT …
* What you missed while taking the kids out for dinner …
* Joe Mauer: For once the Yankees aren’t the fiscal bad guys.
* Fantasy sports turns 30. Which means it’s married now and can no longer play fantasy sports.
* Cal’s men’s hoops team only had a 20 percent graduation rate?
