Close only counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades

Guessing is not always overrated. Take for instance, my NCAA office pool (AESFGANCAAMBCBT2008). [NOTE: I should mention, the non-gambling, not-for-cash, almost voluntary, in case anyone from the office stumbles upon this blog.]

Basketball is not a sport that I follow. At all. So I sort of worked backward. Assuming that the #1 seeds are there for a reason, I worked from that assumption. Much to my surprise, all #1 seeds did make it to the Final Four for the first time. Ever. There goes my theory. Fortunately, I picked Memphis in the final round. Unfortunately, I picked North Carolina to win the National Championship. Maybe next year, I will try the dart board approach.
