I wonder if anybody had Butler and VCU in the final four?

I wonder how many people had VCU in their brackets at all, they were in the play-in game on that Wednesday before the 'real' tourney started.  I heard a lot of bracket pools left those play-in games out completely.

High quality game between Kentucky and NC. 

Read somewhere that Calimari is the highest paid college coach at 4 mill and change a year.

I had Syracuse, Kansas, UConn, and Florida.

If Kentucky holds on, then IIRC out of the 5.9 million brackets at ESPN a grand total of 2 would have predicted the Final Four.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I would root for Satan himself if his team was playing against Butler.

Butler doesn't play hockey.

"@ESPN_Fantasy: Exactly 2 brackets out of 5.9 million-plus entered in Tournament Challenge got the entire Final Four correct."  So yes Tim, you are correct.

No one in my entire office got a single team in the final four in their brackets.   :lol:

One of my Final Four picks (Notre Dame) is in the Frozen Four, but apparently that isn't worth points.  :(
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

We had some UK homers in my office and in my brother's office :rolleyes:

I almost picked UCONN but decided against it since they ended the regular season on a cold streak.
