I am disgusted that I lost to Solo that bad. Oh well always next year when I pick the Spencer Hawes led Washington Huskies to win it all.

OK, you punks. You’re just glad nobody put a paper with the bracket in front of me because if I had the chance to spit up my choices, you all would have been disappointed losers.

now go gloat while I’m still in diapers and I don’t have the ability to use the computer and log on to pick my teams.

I’LL SEE YOU…. in hell.

Add my signature to the list – I’d pay a pretty penny for the original studio version of “Blacktop and Chains.”

There’s just nothing like watching teenage boys play bball for blood and bragging rights on an 8 foot hoop.

I can almost smell the dirty asphalt at Mt. Stuart now…or maybe it’s the cows in the pasture next to the playground.

I still hum that toe-tapper…”blacktop, baby, you know it” Let me be the second to request that you post it.

Jeanette, I’ll gladly consult with you and/or Charlie on future selections. Although I’m still not sure what I was thinking with Albany.

And The Centaur should feel very fortunate that Florida beat Ohio State. Otherwise, my mom would have beat him (again).

Alright, I am officially making the comment section on this post into an online petition.

Back when we were in high school, The Captive Lion wrote and recorded a rap song about our favorite hobby: playing dunk hoops at an elementary school. The song is entitled “Blacktop and Chains” and it is easily the greatest song ever written by anyone.

Perhaps if we gather enough “signatures” he’ll post it on this site. I’m thinking if we can get 20 or so of our readers to express interest, that will qualify as sufficient peer pressure for him to release the track online for the first time.

Trust me, you will not be disappointed.

I appreciate the call out Lion. Actually I was looking at it like golf, low score wins.

Truth is I tried really hard and thought I had a good bracket going. I saw the part about how upsets got extra points and to put all my money in the upset basket. Unfortunately my plan backfired.

Guess next year I’ll be consulting Logan for advice, clearly he knows more than me on the subject.

This year’s pool was crap. Call me a poor-sport but I thought the bragging rights were to start AFTER the championship game. In the week leading up to Florida’s win, both Solo and Leigh were ruining my every day with their gloating. Seriously, picture those medieval kings who only eat giant turkey legs with grease all over their face demanding me to “check the standings” on my laptop. How many times do you need to “check the standings?” And put down the greasy turkey leg Solo, it’s disgusting!

In actuality I think Jeannette should get the maddest of all the mad props. I almost think what she did is statistically more unique than Solo. She racked up so few points it’s like she just got the points for spelling her name correctly on the SAT and that’s it. Amazing. She lost to something with basically a squirrel’s brain (no offense Booth, Logan is just a baby and will grow out of it, I know. I am well-versed in child development.). Yet she is a smart person so this may well be the “most diabolical scheme ever hatched.” OMG!!! Did she just shoot the moon!?! OMG, call Guinness (Book of World Records)! Has anyone ever “shot the moon” in the NCAA tourney!!!!

And I guess I shouldn’t feel as special as I do about my award considering I was the only eligible entry in the category due to its acute specificity, but I am looking forward to the printout and handshake ceremony nonetheless.

I would like to dedicate it to my father who always wanted to me to write a rap about the final four to sell to the television channel covering the tournament to use during their broadcast and commercials.
