Day 737

  • About half the Day 1 perfect brackets lost out when Loyola of Chicago, a popular upset pick, fell in the first round.
  • And about half of what was left fell by the end of the first session.  
  • We have the last CBS pool survivor:  "TaylorWChallenge2539", who has Tennessee beating Gonzaga in the national title game, is the final perfect bracket in the CBS contest.
  • On the four main games the NCAA tracks, we're down to 47 perfect brackets.  The official NCAA.com game is down to two.  A "Heath" (picking Tennessee, but to beat North Carolina in the final), and a "Lydia" (picking Kansas) are the final two in the official game.
  • In what should be little surprise, someone has picked up DeShaun Watson.  Traded to Cleveland today for a boatload.  Great, so both Ohio AFC teams can now go fuck right off.  Joe Rapeon in Cincinnati and DeShaun Rapeson in Cleveland.
  • And isn't the silence by many of the bigots and TERFs on the systematic rape and sexual assault of women in the name and color of sports deafening?   
  • And at 22 games, the last official NCAA.com brackets and the last CBS bracket fell.   Yahoo has it's last survivor:  "Go Back To Webster Ave.".  17 brackets remain on the ESPN side of things.  So now down to 18.  Last year, we got to the end of Session 7 (this is the middle/end of Session 6) before we lost out.   
  • There were apparently about 17 million ESPN brackets this year.
  • And with six games to go in Round One, we have one and only one bracket in the four main games left.  "Bekins24", in the ESPN Tournament Challenge, is the final survivor.  The sole remaining other bracket in the men's tournament, also in the ESPN TC, fell when Illinois held off Chattanooga by a single point.
  • His remaining board for tonight:  LSU, Arizona, Houston, Davidson over Michigan State, Wisconsin and TCU.  He has the one upset left.
  • And there it is:  LSU losing ends the run and we go two fewer games than last year before the last perfect bracket loses.
  • And, as a final note before I head to bed:  30-2 was the best anyone could do in the ESPN Tournament Challenge, and 15 names go into the hat for the $100,000.
