Gotta love this time of year. March Madness has officially begun, and I will be watching today's games like a hawk. Sure to be great fun, The Sports Guy has a running diary going during today's games. Check it out. If I can figure out an easy way to post my picks, I will do that, but for now:

My Final Four: Illinois, Gonzaga, North Carolina, Syracuse
Some Upsets: Wisc.-Millwaukee, Pitt (sweet 16 team), Ohio, Iowa (sweet 16)
Championship game: UNC v. Illinois with Illinois winning.

-----*Update*---------

• (12:10) That Pitt pick isn't looking so good. They may make a poor Cinderella pick.

• (12:30) Apparently Niagra has forgotten that they are...NIAGRA! Geez. And Pitt is killing me. What a terrible pick.
• (12:40) Crap. Alabama's making a comeback
• (1:15) Eastern Kentucky will...not...die
• (1:25) ESPN won't update, but I think I'm officially calling it for Kentucky. Oklahoma is pulling away, Pitt and Alabama are holding tough
• (1:37) Alright, I'm calling it. Wisc.-Mil over Bama. So far 2-2, but my Pitt pick it tettering. Oklahoma is winning in a walk
• (1:45) Could someone explain to me how I could be stupid enough to take Pitt over Washington? Anyone?
• (1:50) Okay...as soon at Pitt finishes losing, I will be 3-1. Not a bad start.
  

Go Big Ten!
