One of the things I have acquired in seminary is an interest in the NCAA Basketball tournament. I attribute this to a variety of factors: Bruins as F4 staple, strong WI representation, classmates who are nutty fans of Duke, Florida, Aggies, etc.
I don't know much about basketball. Me filling out a bracket is tantamount to gambling if there's money involved, which there isn't. I have no clue how bracket points work. But the bracket is a lot of fun and my being relatively neutral makes it pretty straightforward.
My prediction: Bruins take it all this year. Over UNC. No, I can't make any kind of reasonable guess at the final score. And maybe another championship will somehow convince UCLA that the pasty blue color should be replaced with something more noble.
I missed 5 picks in the 1st round, only 2 of which effect my S16. Thanks for nothing IU, Clemson, Vandy, Drake, and U-Conn.
Don't expect my lack of knowledge or pecuniary commitment to keep me from crowing and whining at every round. Since there's nothing riding on my predictions look for this to be a year when I could have made millions on my bracket (and promptly given it all to starving 3rd world seminarians).
