Yes, you read the title correctly, we are finally in the Final Four - It has been a crazy time. It is
very hard to stay excited when everyone is dropping out. Here is how it stands right now.

Some exciting news for Dave and Brittany - Fetus Eckersley is no longer at the bottom of the list, in fact she picked 2 of the final four correctly!

The bottom of the list belongs to Emily Wankier and Mason Klingler with 45 points.
Mason could get out because he picked West Virginia!

Fetus and Hailey have 47 points
Brittany has 48 points

Did You Know?

March Massacre End of Round Two

Read it and weep!

David H. and Penny in the lead with 44 points
Cousin Rob (from work), Thomas, and Jack have 42 points
Cocoa has 41 points
Katelyn and The Winning Wank (I always have a hard time writing that) have 40 points
Kate Johnson with 39 points
Elizabeth and James Johnson with 38 points
Eryn is tied with The Basketball Prophet (how appropriate isn't it Eryn) with 37
Emily and Morgan have 36 points
Gale Johnson has 35 points
Dave, Brittany and Hailey have 34 points
Anna Bug has 33 points
Mason with 32 points
Lastly Fetus Eckersley with 30 points (obviously this child will be born with self esteem issues)

Interesting facts: 10 brackets had Kansas or BYU winning the whole thing
4 brackets have Syracuse winning, 3 have Kentucky, 3 have Duke, and 2 have Ohio State
James is the only one who still has St. Mary's (good job) Cocoa is the only one who still has Cornell (good job), Penny is the only one with a perfect division (the West), and Cousin Rob (from work) is the only one who has N. Iowa in the sweet sixteen (good job)

David, Cousin Rob (from work), Penny, and Cocoa all had perfect picks in one region.



Interesting scientific discovery: Proof that the brain is still forming in utero. Note Fetus Eckersley's poor showing so far. Who needs government funded grants, we made this discovery

easily.



Round Two begins - Good luck

Apparently Brittany is dancing alone

Sorry Brit you are just so tiny I didn't see your picks until after I had posted. I wish I could say,
"I saved the best for last," however, you are right in the middle with 9 correct picks. I am happy to say you are better than your husband and your child (Fetus Eckersley) We may want to change her name at some time.
