What a week!
From the significant to the seemingly trivial, this week means preparing for the coming of Easter and filling out the brackets for March Madness.
Ah yes: bracketology. I love March Madness.
I've been spending the week filling in my sure-fire, unbeatable picks.
If you still want to join a bracket group, I've created a group on ESPN that you are more than welcome to join.

I am curious: who do you have in your Final Four? who do you have going all the way this year? Are you making a conservative pick or is anybody taking a risk and going out on a limb?
Can't wait until Thursday at noon...
Hi J.R.,
I LOVE this tourney, especially when my team is in the Big Dance. GO HAWKS!!! My Final Four varies, but in your pool I'm taking some risks with Notre Dame, Kansas, Texas and UCLA. Kansas over Texas in a Big 12 rematch for the national title.
My risks are Butler over Tennessee and Saint Joe's, Xavier and Notre Dame in the Elite 8 and Marquette, Notre Dame, Saint Joe's, Georgetown and Xavier all in the Sweet 16. I've probably been listening to "pray as you go" way too much based on all of my Catholic school picks :o)

So, I stayed conservative this year and went with North Carolina, Kansas, Memphis, and UCLA in my Final Four. I put some thought into having Kansas win it all, but I decided to instead go with the numbers and I have North Carolina winning it all.

J.R.,
Don laughed at me when I said Duke wouldn't make it to the sweet sixteen. So I'm feeling even more confident about Kansas going all the way.

I picked an all Pac-10 Final Four (just because I love Pac-10 and think it would be fun) - of UCLA, Wash St., USC, & Stanford. So far all but USC made it to sweet 16. So could happen - had USC vs. UCLA (the ultimate Bruin dream) in the finals, with, of course, UCLA showing them the what's what. Will be fun to see what happens...
