Charlie has gone with a very conservative picking strategy that has led him to three number 1 seeds (Virginia, Villanova, and Kansas) advancing to the Final Four.  He was very indignant when I said he picked no upsets – because he clearly picked North Carolina to beat Xavier in the West.  This will lead to the Cavaliers winning the National Championship against the Jayhawks.

Katie’s entry of Pink Sparkly Unicorns was much more loyal to family and local teams.  She also picked Virginia to make the Final Four because she lives in Virginia, she picked Duke and North Carolina to advance to San Antonio because her Grandpa got his PhD at UNC and did his post-doc at Duke.   And she picked Purdue because that is where her Daddy went.   Of course, when it comes to the championship, Katie picked her Grandpa’s schools, with the Tar Heels beating the Blue Devils.

The Lunatic still has to do lots of research – he will probably be up very late tonight.  If you haven’t already, make sure you get your picks in.   It is important to have as many people as possible STOMP THE LUNATIC!!!
