Are you at the top of your league? Or is your bracket busted already after Round 1?
Do you live and breathe college basketball from Midnight Madness until the final day of March Madness? Or have you recently heard that Kentucky has a pretty good team this year?
Every year during the Elite 8, you hear about the 8 year old kid who has a perfect bracket. The next kid-genius, or because the odds say that out of the 70 million brackets that are filled out each year, it’s entirely possible that there is randomly a match through the Elite 8?
In the friendly On The Bench Report bracket contest, yours truly filled out two brackets. My primary bracket was based on everything I know about college basketball, and before Thursday I thought it was a winner. My backup bracket was basically pulled from my dartboard with a couple of adjustments.
Guess which one is currently in the lead in our league, and guess which is living on a prayer. It seems I was channeling my 8-year old self when I was throwing darts.

Gee. I wonder see why I never win these things. Thanks a lot Nova!
