My typical year, and I haven't watched a single game all year (probably 6-10 minutes total of college hoops). But I still fill out the EXACT SAME bracket: looks like I'm going to run the table first 2 days in the East, and nearly that in the South (almost picked Creighton, too). But the other two regions look like I bled on their screen.
I can't believe this happens no matter what, whether I'm paying attention or forgot the tournament was even going on. Heck, the only reason I put up a bracket was a firm I do work for invited me and they're giving out money! If New Mexico hangs on and the higher seeds win the rest of the games tonight, I'll be in the top 6 out of 80-something. The 2 picks I regret -- Creighton and 'Zaga, and the other I *thought* about -- Drake -- would easily put me at number 1.
Oh, well. We'll see what happens over the weekend. If I crash, remember me well.
