Apocalypse Now-ish


"What happens when a Duke alum and a hardcore Carolina fan attempt to work together on something?"

Well, if the world doesn't suddenly and violently end, it probably has a little something to do with March Madness.

You can feel it can't you? That little tingle on the back of your neck and the faint whisper of "One Shining Moment" in your ear. The twitch in the corner of your eye and the jerk in your thumb wanting to switch from game to game with your satellite remote. Quick flashes of last second buzzer beaters from years past and the growing urge to pick a 12 seed over a 5.

It's madness! Madness, I tell you! And it'll only get worse. Or better if you're a college hoops junkie.

So get ready for a little bracketology. Alison and I will be co-hosting the "First Annual Blogger Bracket Pool" very soon, so start studying up and feel free to practice on the conference tourneys to brush up on your selecting skills. Or at the very least, dust off the Magic 8 Ball.

I leave you with a view of how things are supposed to turn out in the end, and a glimpse into the mouth of Madness...

A new theme song? One Shining Moment gives me goosebumps every year. I can't go to bed after the championship until after I hear it. Last year was especially good.

Now if you're proposing someone should find a "First Annual Blogger Bracket Pool" theme song, well maybe that can be the first contest for our participants. And we can judge...less work for us.

The brackt? Tricky, no? It made me feel a tad better. Just a tad.

You gotta know there's going to be at least 2 Big 10 schools in the final 4. As usual... :)

Syracuse won't even make it, thanks to the horrible Gerry McNamara

Carolina will make a fine showing in the first 2 rounds and then pull a Dook and lose in the 3rd round. Hey, I'm a realist. Last year I knew they were going all the way. This year I'll be happy to see that young team make a good showing.
