Beware the Ides of March

Shit.

I'm getting my ass kicked over here; my bracket is redder than my eyes.

I don't blame Javaris Crittenton, I blame myself for riding a freshman. It just goes to show that the movies are nothing but lies. Thanks a lot Clark Kellogg (and you too Clark Kellogg).

Nate Funk, you're dead to me. The future of college basketball is brighter without your impishness. How many times can your name fool me into thinking you had game? For two seasons I waited for the Nate Funk breakout. I could practically feel it coming, and now it is dead like so many brackets reduced to ash by the fireplace.

If you're one of those fortunate few who has managed to avoid the pitfalls of Texas Tech and BYU then I salute you. Now shut up about it already. We've all been there. Twenty four games deep and you're just one or two away from perfection. It's a good feeling but it will fade. This bracket can bring nothing but agony.

Yet there's that glimmer of a bright side lurking around the corner of my mind. There are another eight games tonight and I can still make up ground. Hell, I've only lost one Sweet 16 team. If Villanova beats Kentucky and Kansas I could be champion yet!

Commenters, please tell me you've fared better. Just don't rub it in.

Oh shit The Freshman.

Man my brackets aren't fit to wipe my ass with. It would be an insult to my ass to wipe them with my brackets.

UM,
are you in Franchise's group? Where/who are you? Clearly I'm Chief, in 2nd behind Franchise. I see Madsear signed up but didn't fill out his bracket. Probably got screwed over by the time difference (we moved our clocks forward last week.) Who else among the No Masians are in the group?

Sadly I didn't make it into the group, the vacation screwed me up all over the place.

The bracket I refer to is the one I'm using in the KSK group competition against the Ladies... blog. I'll have more on our progress later. If we lose I might have to break out the tanto and go the way of the samurai.
