Happiness, Sadness and the Bracket Challenge

Tough weekend.

On one hand, I was happy to see Michigan State get back to the Final Four. It's always good to see teams from my home state doing well. Classmate Andy Klassa, an MSU alum, will definitely be fired up. And the GO GREEN! GO WHITE! cheers will be even louder as they have virtual home-court advantage in Ford Field (Detroit, MI).

On the other hand, I had to watch my WFU bracket get destroyed, as I dropped from #1 to #5. It's a friendly competition, but my competitive nature enjoyed last week's position much more than this week's reality.

Best of luck to everyone except Carolina ;), and I hope all the attendees spend $$ to help the Detroit/Michigan economy in any way possible.

After the 1st Weekend, I'm leading the EXFT2009 Bracket Challenge

While we're all disappointed that our beloved Demon Deacons are out of the tournament after a 1st round loss to Cleveland State, the good news is that I'm leading the March Madness Bracket Challenge for the EXFT2009 class. With 14 of 16 Sweet Sixteen teams picked correctly, I feel pretty good about my chances going forward.
