The Madness of March





The extravaganza that is March Madness is now into it second week, how are your brackets holding up?
After some shocking omissions to the big dance, it seems things are going pretty well as planned.
I know I have my Final Four teams all still alive, but it might get a little tricky this week.

I never anticipated "Team Lohan" to make it this far; but with dad emerging from jail with a nifty new jump shot, he could take his family all the way, so long as they want him on their team. I'd say this is the match-up that Kansas has to be wary of!

If there's a Cinderella story brewing, it has to be the resilience of the "Rehabber's," somehow they've been able to suppress those DT's long enough to be hitting 90% from the free-throw lines. Some of their success must be credited to the continuing growth of their roster- every day it seems they are adding new players like Eddie van Halen and Marc Jacobs. This depth could carry them to the Elite Eightball, but I fear that's where celebratory partying will put them in lock-down and cause failed drug tests. Count them out against UCLA and Promises.

My surprise pick to upend USC is none other than the other LA phenom, "Team Jolie-Pitt." Who doesn't love this upstart, yet ever growing, international squad? Paparazzi can't get enough, and neither can Angelina! Unfortunately, youth and too much uncontrollable dribbling will work against them and they will lose in a heartbreaker against the babysitter's, Georgetown.
