So Yahoo let me fill in my bracket<\/a> for this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Last year, I did half well (as in, if the bracket is viewed with half the options on the right, half on the left, I got about half the choices right). This year, I have parlayed my extreme lack of basketball knowledge into choosing this year. The rounds where the #1 seed was against the #78 seed were easy to pick (and yes, I know there’s no #78 – duuuuh) but sometimes having to choose between the #8 guy and the #9 guy was really tough.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, this year there are two other bracket events to keep my interest up – the girls at Go Fug Yourself<\/a> are doing some sort of fashion victim bracket and the girls at Eaglesfans<\/a> are doing another Best Eagles song bracket (and to keep things interesting, they are not including Hotel California, last year’s winner).<\/p>\n
