You know what's hilarious? Being disappointed in not hitting the deadline to enter the $1,000,000,000 bracket challenge...
... and realizing you would have lost in the first game anyway! I'm in third place in my pool after the first round, and it appears a lot of people had Duke going decently far (as did I), so I might get away with it. I've got Arizona to win (can't keep the Pac-10/12 out of my head, folks.)
How are you doing? How many games did you make it before losing? (84% of brackets were eliminated after the first game).
