• UConn sucks!
  
  I hate UConn basketball. They can suck a fat one, hopefully, they lose tomorrow.

  Have you ever heard of anyone completing a perfect bracket prior to the tournament?  I\'m wondering what the probability (stated as odds) would be.

  
  
  for the record, those perfect brackets on espn on fake. this was actually on the local news last night, they had somebody do the math. While I do not remember the exact number, it was said you have a better chance of hitting Powerball than picking a perfect bracket. I think the odds number was something like: 9,235,567,326,874,546 to 1, no joke, it was definitely over a trillion to one.

  
  Forget trillion.  The number of ways you can fill out a bracket is 2^63 or 2X2X2 etc. 63 times.  The number is approximately 9.22337204X10^18 or 9,223,372,040,000,000,000 which I guess you could read as "9.22 million-trillion".  You could run an office pool with a million people in it a year and it could very reasonably take 9 trillion years of that pool for someone to pick a perfect bracket.  Stat-man\'s advice: Don\'t believe any perfect bracket story you ever hear.

• the winner gets to put
  
  Winner of the 2006 thebreakfast.info NCAA Tournament Pool in their signature if they so desire, otherwise they get nothing.
  
  I am guaranteed to not win. I am in 5 pools including this one and am in 1st place in 3 out of 5 of them, which basically means I am doomed. Anytime I have ever been in first through the first weekend in years past I have ultimately lost and tossed the sheets in the trash after week 2 of the tournament, this year will be no different.

• Well, have fun everyone. I\'ve once again clearly shown that I know nothing. I take solace in my contempt for UConn. Go Huskies! I mean, go Washington Huskies!

• Regardless of tonight. I could not win the .info pool.  I can\'t believe I was eliminated after the first week, but the awesome yahoo scenario generator tells me that I even if I nailed every pick from round 3 on, antbach would beat me by 1 point.

• Two of the greatest finishes in NCAA Tournament history. First, Texas wins with three at the buzzer, then a total fold by Gonzaga at the hands of relentless UCLA.

• after looking over my other pools that have money for the winner, I am praying that I get crushed in this pool. BC better get spanked tonight.

  Go Patriots! Wow, there\'s something I thought I\'d never say.

• Personally, I need UConn to lose tomorrow. With a loss tomorrow, I have a decent shot of winning this bracket. Need Texas to pull through.

• What is up with Leith\'s picks?  He\'s got all like 15 and 16 seeds, and only has 9 points while everyone else has 43-66 points.  Is he ser?  I wonder if he thought 15 and 16 seeds are the good teams?
