The NCAA Tournament
I'll admit that I'm not a huge college basketball fan. The only time I really follow it closely is when the Illini are good. This year's team didn't qualify as good--but they did make the tournament, so I watched both of their games. (No need to comment on the bad ref calls, that would be whining)
When I checked to see how my brackets were doing after that Illini game last night I was shocked to see that I was in the 97th percentile nationally on the ESPN site. I point this out not to glorify myself, but to honestly wonder how it's possible that 97 out of 100 people did a worse job of picking games than a guy who hadn't watched a (non-Illini) college basketball game all season.
I literally made those picks in less than one minute.
