I hope you are not surprised. If you are please refer to your whole how to pick your bracket posts.
By the way I kicked but this year. I did n't come in dead last.
I chose with my heart. :( It's a sad, sad day.
Hi Reese!!! :)
Lesson: Don't pick the Big 10 team.
Lesson: Duck Fuke.
Lesson: Reese and I have bad luck.
Three words for you Reese....Fear the Girtles (Lady Terps) :-)
Waitaminute......Ijsut noticed all the pandas!!!
Boooooo!

BooooooO!
Damn furry, NOT bear, bamboo suckers!!
Boooooo, booo I say.
I hope next years tourney is better. The upsets were kinda cool, but man was it boring.
At least your lady Terps showed the fellas how it's done.
Caro: I love the way you think. "6th place is for winners named Reese." That made me smile. Thanx! :)
Dez: You did well in the bracket challenge at least. Hey, your team will be back for next year. That's why college b-ball is so great. There's always next year. :)
Derek: If I in any way passed on my bad luck to you, I wish to apologize to you. But, know that you are not alone. We shall have bad luck together. Lol!
Shelley: ~scowl~
Just one more b/c I'm still bitter that you packed up and left without letting a sister know. Boooo!!!!
PS: I shall visit you on myspace. :D
Jerk: Yea, the final four was snooze this year. Surprising because the rest of tourney was so much fun.
Oh and you can I will have to agree to disagree on pandas. Pandas are soooo cuuuutttteee. Sooooo cuttteeee. I love them. 'Cause they're soooo cuuutteee. ;)
