I am feeling pretty good, I submitted my picks and am now just going to sit back and think of witty answers to the Pooh-bah's questions while being interviewed for the Ganza Champ article, all the while hoisting the coveted Ostertag.
Enough about me, how are you all feeling about your picks? The Pooh-bah reported early that we already had our 100 guests submit their brackets. Let me say, welcome to all of you new prognosticators. The ganza will limit the number of hours you sleep, it will put your job in jeopardy. You will be at the ganza site looking for updates to your wimp factor, your TPP, and your power rating. Go easy on the fatty foods and heavily sugared beverages.
For my final four I have North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis and UCLA. The Championship will be the Tar Heels and the Tigers. The Tar Heels will win 71-66.
I will be blogging live during some of the games so be sure to check in. Until then...ahh, March!
The Basketball Tournament Prediction Extravaganza is a nationwide prediction competition between basketball fans based upon the Annual Men's College Basketball Tournament. We feel the clean family humor, salty wit and sarcasm, and interesting year-to-year statistics make the 'Ganza, as we affectionately call it, one of the most enjoyable tournament contests on the Internet. We hope you join us and come to the same conclusion.
Although the format is similar to an office "pool," the Extravaganza is NOT a pool -- no prize money is awarded! In fact, our slogan is "This Ain't No Pool!" The prognosticator who scores the most points in the 'Ganza is awarded the Coveted Ostertag Plaque, one of the finest examples of laminated pressboard available and easily the most talked about sports award in my house. The Ostertag Plaque has often been mentioned in the same sentence as the Lombardi Trophy and the Stanley Cup. Especially if you read the previous sentence out loud.

Keep dreaming of those witty comments, cause with that Final Four, dreaming is all you are going to be doing. All number 1 seeds in the Final Four????
Hey, lay off Heinrich.
Ahem, Mr. Director. Pooh-Bah here. Remember when we thought we should start this blog to be a way for prognosticators to communicate with us in a friendly and fun way? Well, that doesn't work that great when, after mustering up the courage to make a post, we answer them with something like, "Hey, lay off!" :)
Benevolently on the way to the slopes,
Pooh.
It's ok Pooh, Dan is of the noblest prognosticator ilk. He likes it when I talk like that. Besides, he goes to the same house of worship I go to.
Enjoy the slopes, and...ahem, 'break a leg?"
