Because the Sweet 16 is upon us in the NCAA tournament.

0:06.0

A lot of brackets got busted.

0:07.7

Although I saw something this morning, I think it was from ESPN.

0:13.3

There are three remaining perfect brackets.

0:16.7

Still, I thought I saw someone last night saying that it was Florida.

0:20.3

They had Florida to be perfect and then they wound up losing.

0:23.3

It might not have been ESPN then. Okay, maybe. Maybe not. I was trying to remember what site they were referring to. But even then, and this is partially because there's just not the crazy upsets into the Sweet 16 in the last couple of years because of the changing of the world of

0:38.7

college basketball. Texas is the 11 seed that's playing Purdue in the Sweet 16 and by no

0:46.1

means is Texas as Cinderella or some underdog story. I mean, just because you have the money to put

0:52.4

together a roster doesn't mean you have a good team. So you're an 11 seat. So that has to be considered a, you know, you're a double-digit seed. So I'm not saying Cinderella, but it's definitely an upset that they're there. Yeah, it's an upset that they're there. I would agree with that. But I don't think it's, it's not the same as a VCU where George Mason was the 11 seed. No, no, not a mid-major. They're still in a major conference. But, yeah, no one expected them to be there. No one expected Iowa to be there as a nine-seed. So you have some teams that you didn't expect. And we do have the pool here at the office. And guess who's in first place? Oh, Maddie Beers.

1:29.6

15 out of the 16.

1:31.5

Yep, not bad.

1:32.3

The only one I missed was Iowa.

1:34.2

I had Florida beating Iowa and then.

1:36.8

I'm pretty sure the majority, 99% of the people had Florida moving on at least to the sweet 16.

1:42.7

A lot of people had Florida winning the whole thing going back to back. So that's definitely an upset. So congratulations on that. Well, we'll see. Midway, you're first place. We can't take that away from you at the turn. No, no. It's nice to be in the Sweet 16 leading the thing. But if I lose on Saturday and get knocked out, then what difference did it make?

2:35.1

Yeah, no, true. I'm here to win. That's why I'm going to hype you up. I'm going to carry you around this office. I don't want to be... Because you're the halfway champion. I don't want to be the Tom Izzo of this thing. The halfway champion. I always make a run, but I never quite get there, except in 2000, I know. Dude, you either had a close game that came down to the wire or a blowout. It's kind of weird. Very strange. Because even games that appeared like they were going to be close, all of a sudden just got out of hand. Because Duke and TCU was pretty close. And then that got out of hand. But if you want to just go with the games that came down to the wire,

2:37.9

I was watching St. John's in Kansas yesterday.

2:38.3

Yeah.

2:44.0

I thought this was a fascinating experiment of how you go about ending the game. And I thought Kansas was doing it the right way except for one little error they made

2:50.2

and it cost them the game because right when

2:53.0

it got down to it they would tie game 65 all they only had two team files and of course after
