Commander-In-Chief sez Carolina in '09-a
Unbearably close calls with both 'Nova and Memphis!!!
With the Wildcats meeting Louisville in my final and the Tigers in the F4 that would have destroyed my 2009 bracket. Survived and advanced......that's all you have to do. Just barely squeaked out the Western Kentucky game over Illinois--Hilltoppers tried to blow it--but they survived and advanced.
Finishing day one with 14 wins and 2 losses, I'm up two games on President Obama. I missed the Clemson/Michigan game by a nose and was really off with my Mississippi State choice over Washington. As far as the Michigan game goes, I stand by it....The Big Ten is junk. I thought that MSU was an undervalued 13 seed and the perfect storm was in place against a team from The Pac-Ten in the midst of a down conference year (see....anyone can talk out of their ass and make it believable! 14/16 on day one Whaddup!!?? Bring it on Barry!). On to day two...

Check out the following links below:
The first one is a site dedicated to the objective analysis of polling data to try and predict the outcomes of elections. The writer's name is Nate Silver and he also writes for Baseball Prospectus (see 619 Sports for a look at SABR-metrics on MLB network as analyzed by morons earlier this week). The FiveThirtyEight article is interesting (see: ridiculous) in that actual statistical regressions were performed on Obama's bracket.....were his picks kickbacks to those crucial states that got him elected? You be the judge.....

Obama NCAA Bracket Suggests Bias Toward Schools From Swing States

The second link is obviously from YouTube. Watch Obama go step by step in filling out his bracket. I just think its funny that this was turned into a special...... and then after #44 announced his Carolina 2009 champion pick he proceeded to put them on blast for busting his bracket last year. That's funny.....and what's funnier you ask? Mike Krzyzewski's reaction.

President Obracket showing that even a large white house and excessive power can not take the sports enthusiast out of an ordinary man.
...yet there were those that actually griped that he would take a moment to fill out a bracket! Work on the economy...gimme a break Coach K!
Plus how else could I brag about beating up on the President's Bracket unless he filled one out and posted it on line?
I thought it was weird how angry Coach K was...the outrage that someone would pick against Duke, bringing up the economy etc.
Sidebar, I have one bracket with Siena in the final 4.Fact.
Good Luck with your Sienna pick...until they play Louisville in Rd 2.
My single bullet bracket has Louisville going the distance against Villanova....which was almost destroyed yesterday.
