    threaten Florida high school and middle school athletic programs.

    Thought you might be interested - sports related and I guess important to Gators fans who would like to see the school continue to be able to find the most talented local players.

    I picked Old Dominion, then forgot about it.  I was watching the game and actually rooting for Butler!

    I also picked Penn State in a (slight) upset, Vanderbilt (to go to the semis - ouch!), and of course, Louisville.

    Good thing this is just among family and we aren't playing for money!

    (Although I do have Kansas and Texas in the final and Kansas to win it - bragging rights are on the line!)

    I'm going to fill out an entire bracket just based on best nicknames. I would still be alive with the Spiders for sure.

    went stone cold late in the game. Going to be tough to win my bet from here. Jimmer is better at dishing the assists than I expected for a shooter.
