Take a deep breath. What’s that smell? That smell is the most beautiful time of year. The smell of March Madness.

What 12 seed are you picking to beat a 5 seed? Who is your Final 4 going to be? What double digit seed will you have making the Sweet 16? Are you going to talk yourself into picking someone OTHER than Kentucky to win it all?

PRIZES
So let’s see what ya got. There’s about a 95% chance I win the whole god damn thing and only have to give away one t-shirt but we’ll see.
Sign up is quick and easy and you’ll need an ESPN username and password. If you don’t have one, make one. Pool closes at tip off of the first game Thursday. Good luck.
PS- Is it possible for Duke to have an easier road to the Final Four? I’ll probably pick against them out of spite because that region is so outrageously easy.
PPS- I don’t know one player on Villanova so that means I may pick them to win it all. It’s about WE not ME.
