Finally #1 Seeds Come Through

final-four-08.png Every year I am reminded by the “experts” that all four NCAA #1 seeds have never made the Final Four, so don’t pick’em.

I don’t have the #1 seeds in the Final Four most years, but this year they stepped up and finally came through for me ( and many others who can now say, “I told you it would happen”).

Here is where I stand in a few tournament brackets that I entered (Oh, bye the way, I have a pet peeve with people entering different brackets to cover all the tough games to call, so I have the same picks in all my brackets).

My wife is most interested in the Sports Business Radio results because they have thrown in a gift certificate to Morton’s Steak House for the winner. I don’t think they even have one here in Louisville. But the kicker is that she was OK with her Alma Mater (U of L) losing if it meant I was still in the hunt for the gift certificate!

Go UCLA!!!!! I hope experience (3 Final Fours in a row) and somebody else stepping up to help Love and Collison will pull them through. Either way, it should be some exciting games this weekend.

    Yo, bubba,
    There is a Morton’s in Nashville and Cameron’s cousin, Jason, is a waiter there. I eat there several years ago and Jason did such a great job that a guy whom I was with (who doesn’t tip) give him a great tip!

    GO BRUINS!!!!!!!

    That’s not true! GO CARDS!!!!
    It’s not my fault they lost and that it’s working to our benefit of winning the GC.

    Your brackets look good. I had a great year last year, but not looking to great this year!

    So in what place did you end up after UCLA let us down?
