1. It kind of scares me
when the President of the United States knows more about college basketball than I do...


... and I know more about economics than he does.

20. Obama has an economics degree from Harvard?
Or does simply studying anything at an expensive college make you an expert in anything? If so, I gotta go perform a surgery.

12. Well, If You Really Do Know More About Economics
Then you should have bet the way Obama told you to.

3. Now you've gone and made Glenn Beck cry
Oh wait, he was crying already. So hard to tell what's going to make Glenn cry anymore.

8. Bullshit, MSU is coming back!
Oh, it's over.
Shit.

I like Roy, he did well at KU and I know that don't mean squat, but I can live with this.
As long as it ain't a Florida team winning, I'm cool.

And I live in Florida.

9. He picked UNC as champs, but
He was off on most of his other picks, so he would have been out our pool awhile ago. Just saying. ;)

14. Several of his picks lost early on
Edited on Mon Apr-06-09 11:39 PM by DesertRat
It isn't all about the winner when filling out your brackets.

BTW, Congratulations Carolina! They aren't my team, but I (along with many others) had picked them to win early on.

13. CONGRATULATIONS HEELS!!! And congrats to our President the Picker in Chief!
Thanks for an exciting season to Coach Roy and all the great kids on the team, the coaching staff, and the managers.

This year North Carolina went blue in more ways than one!!

15. I did too. Do I get a cabinet post?
2nd year in a row as a bracket champion also. How about just a well paying job at FEMA?

17. Seems like starting in the cabinet would be a better choice.

21. I stand very little chance of either, but if tournaments picks are important, then I'm close.

23. Don't think they give cabinet posts based on that
but it might be worth a shot.

LOL

25. Obama has plenty of company in correctly picking UNC
However, the Tarheels let him down last year when he picked them to win the NCAA tournament.
