480,468

That's all that stands between me and my glorious ESPN Tournament Challenge victory. And I picked 11 of the Sweet Sixteen teams. I doubt any of those other 480,467 did that!

Take that, poseurs.

 

I kinda felt sorry for the guy who went 47 out of 48 -- the only one out there who did.

His only wrong pick? Wisconsin to the Sweet 16. His national champion? You guessed it.

 

One other one did also.........Picked WSU into the final four or elite eight........I forget.

 

On my other entry, I missed 16 of the first 32 games. That's 50 percent. Not so great. But I like to pick upsets. It's my weakness. I have SIU in the sweet sixteen.

 

I thought this was an attempt to write lyrics for a song to be included on the Rent II soundtrack

 

rent must be even higher than I thought in new york.

 

My wife loves Rent. I bought a two-disc audio version. She had never heard of the thing. She loved it. Then I took her to see it live. Bonus points. She gave me lots of love for that, and she doesn't care that I picked Wisconsin in my Elite Eight. So there.

 

Jesus. Even I didn't do that.

 

I, 2muchcoffeeman, am 382,150 places ahead of you. And I picked 11 of the Sweet Sixteen teams.

Take that, Mr. Imported Beer Guy.

 

Honestly, I seem to recall being in the top 50,000 after the first two rounds last year. I thought I was quite the stud.
