Brackets, Busted.

It’s been that kind of tournament.

↵Of the 4.78 million brackets fans submitted on ESPN.com, only 200 successfully picked the Final Four of Michigan State, Butler, Duke and West Virginia.

↵The autistic kid who wowed everyone by picking all of the games in the first two rounds correctly? Yeah, he’s done.

↵Obama? Not even close (though he’s still doing quite well in the Women’s Tourney)

↵Even ESPN’s highly astute expert panel is almost entirely out of the running. The least surprising of which is Dick Vitale. What were the chances that, in the year when all of the favorites lost, that Dick Vitale didn’t pick the Final Four correctly. (Though, ironically, it’s also the first time since 1957 that he didn’t pick Duke).

↵(By the way, if you’re complaining that this year’s Final Four sucks because it’s not the usual suspects...enough out of you. Go hang out with Bill Hancock and wait until January for your predetermined Florida-Texas BCS Championship Game.)
