The racket over a bracket…

I wish I had the patience and the brain-power to figure these things out. But I don’t. It’s sad, really. But I my buddy Dave Curtis, who covers the Florida Gators for the Orlando Sentinel, gave it crack yesterday, and I was impressed. You can view his work here.

Meanwhile, the sports staff here at the Eagle concocted our own March Madness of sorts. The official title is “The State of Basketball,” and the explanation can be found here. Today’s match-up is No. 1 Kansas vs.  No.5 Alabama, and voting can be conducted here.

That’s a lot of heres, I know…

    Would be interested to get your thoughts on the “Bracket Brains”, done by a couple guys at Stanford (disclaimer: they are college friends of mine). Do you use any of these types of systems to help you make your pics?

    There’s a blog that may be a little over your head that a couple of friends of mine participate in as well. Now, it’s pretty high basketball IQ stuff so don’t go over there if you aren’t ready for some heavy reading but it seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

    May I just say that after having lived in Tampa from 1993 through 2006, years during which K-State football played in lots of bowl games, but none in the state of Florida, it is probably really likely that now that I have moved back to the great state of Kansas, the ‘Cats will almost certainly play in the tourney in Tampa.
