Don't know how I'd compare IF....I had the intraweb skillz to properly submit a bracket, but I'm still doing pretty good. Better than most years for me. This is a great tourney, by the way. Tons of down to the wire games. Meat Chicken came back and had my Dukies on the ropes. They threw a 1-3-1 at Duke and rattled the hell out of them. Several crappy possessions down the stretch and they lucked out on not going to overtime.

VCU is coming out of nowhere. They freakin' crushed Purrdew. And did anyone see the back and forth between Pitino and Sir Charles? Barkely has been saying the Big East is overrated..clap, clap, clap ,clap, clap....overrated...and Pitino's feathers got ruffled

11 Big East teams invited, 2 remain standing. Geez, the Big East sucks at teh roundball too.

Was wondering if tarheel was as nervous as I the last 5 mins of the unc/wash game? Many chances to put it away. Sloppy rebounding. Unc went to the outside too much. Thankfully it was Washington not Duke or Kansas or it woulda been bad trouble. We'll have to play better outside d to advance past 16.

And on Texas losing.....bwahahahaha.......

Regretfully, I'd missed it (shocker I know) but I had another, more important commitment. I don't know why in the heck they are playing the outside game! It throws-off the entire tempo. That NBA-style strategy with Carolina frustrates the heck out of me. I just want to yell out stop trying to play to the cameras and do what you do best in the inside! Getting my blood-pressure up this afternoon!

At this point...VCU, Butler, and Kentucky.

My brackets are in ruins.

At least the Tarheels advanced farther than Duke.

Which was another surprise.

Well, if it's any consequence I think that Duke could have beaten UConn (had they made it that far).

Go VCU Rams!

(Even though their mascot is not Rameses.)

Hmmm. Do they have a goat as well?

I actually work with a VCU grad. With the Final Four being here in town, he got tickets for the first game, and is positively giddy with excitement. Serious "Whooda Thunkit"...

The Tarheels should be preseason 1 or 2 if everyone comes back. 80% of the starting lineup are underclassmen. Zeller is a junior. Things look good for unc.

Why does UNC have a goat as a mascot?

It's a Ram.

The story goes back to 1922 or so; one of the football players back then was nicknamed "The Battering Ram". The school did not have a mascot so someone suggested a ram and the rest is history.
