I’m not much of a basketball fan, but I tend to agree with most sports fans in that the NCAA March Madness is the most exciting event in all of sports… and that’s saying something, because I really LOVE baseball. There’s just something about this tournament that intrigues me. It’s the upsets, the surprises, etc. It’s the same reason why I love going to concerts where the band plays a different set each night. You go in with a variety of expectations, but you never know what’s coming.
It’s been a couple years since I’ve entered any pools. I am really impressed with Facebook’s implementation of tournament. Users can create and join pools, fill out a bracket, etc. The grand prize is $25000, sponsored by Geico.
I’m just as ignorant as the next person when it comes to filling the bracket. 
It’s hard to pick upsets, even though many will occur. Last year we saw George Mason advance to the Final Four, despite being an 11th seeded team. In fact, no 1st seeded teams advanced to the Final Four last year.
This year, I am picking my “hometown” Bruins to win it all. UCLA over Ohio St!
