Dang. I made a bracket but didn't join the group.

Since my bracket is invisible, I'll go ahead and tell you I have a perfect score.

WTG! Too bad on not joining the group. I hate it when I do stuff like that.

Good luck on going all the way with your picks!

Wait a minute, TifaniBrandi would not win. She would take second place after Skoop.

I made a bracket and did join the group. And yet I seem to have gotten booted anyway. Although I will note that my bracket is not perfect anymore. At least 2 losses so far and probably more since I last checked.

Oh, Miss Ritter, you and I picked the same teams!

I'm also excited because Madama Butterfly is on PBS tonight. I've been a very busy girl switching from basektball to opera and back. Maybe, after I'm a famous composer because of the wonderfulness of Guinefort, I will write an opera about basketball.

I was surprised to notice that my smile was really big when I saw Annie's name alone at the top of the leaderboard and not so big when I saw I moved up the leaderboard.

It looks like my realself is rooting for Annie!

I asked my mom. She said that even if I did win, I shouldn't expect a prize, because I can't remember exactly how I registered, so I might not be old enough, according to the rules. She also said that I shouldn't expect to get every game right today or during the next round.

"But I'm a very lucky girl," I pointed out.

"You're lucky because the more games you get right in the opening round, the more teams you have to root for later on," she said.

If I did win, just to make her crazy, she says, she would ask the newspaper to print my photograph. That would be cooler than any prize! I've never had my picture in the paper before. I am lucky, so it might happen.

If you thought Annie winning the contest would be interesting, how about the potted plant currently at #52? Someone alert mini!

Doesn't help to lose one of my Final 4 teams (UConn) in the first round. In another bracket, I had Duke losing the title game to Georgetown.

Thank you, Miss Pea. I love basketball. I hate basketball. I am worn out from watching all day yesterday. I fell asleep before the last games were over, and I was surprised that lots of people didn't pass me during the night.

I am not mad at the teams I picked that didn't win, though. I still think Pittsburghers sound like tasty things to eat, and I realize that all the Dukes are mentioned in Mr. Bobjuch's genealogy. (If he had two more feet, he could be a paper dog.)

I could be wrong and I think a Pittsburgher is not a type of hamburger. I think it is something that might not taste so good.

I also think Mr Bobjuch is a paper dog already.

I haven't been able to get in to see who's ahead and what not.

I'm getting something wrong on the password or member name or something.

Anyway, if somebody would kind of summarize how everybody's doing, I'd appreciate it.

I tried to cut and paste the whole chart. I couldn't make it work. Top ten as of today are as follows:

1 (tie) -- Annie and Jim362 at 470 points (96.3 percentile)
3 -- Greyhound Dude, 460 (93.2)
4 -- (tie) Ace and PresidentSkipperObama, 450 (86.5)
6 -- (tie) MarkBarrett, Bough, ShamelessWeasel, and Nitrah'sBelovedSon, 440 (79.6)
10 -- Fishie, 430 (70.5)

I didn't try to include possible points remaining, which are widely varied.

I almost forgot to check my bracket.


I'm winning!


Looks like lots of people can still win the whole pool, though. The top six in the standings have four different teams winning the whole thing.

Yes, indeed, but if those things do not happen, somebody else will win. (It won't be me, because I'm already behind Mr. MarkB, and he picked all the same things I did at the end.)
