Chalk Rocks

Just an update on the Tournament Brackets.  Right now the leader is Colbyt with 1080 points.

Interesting side note.  My bracket is long since busted, but the test bracket I set up called Clark - Chalk is still going strong.  Only 8 entries are ahead of it in the standings.  That's not too surprising in a year of all 1 seeds in the Final Four, but it reminds me of the stock market in some ways.  Hedge fund managers get paid millions to balance portfolios of stocks in an effort to make the highest margins, yet 80% of them (don't quote me on the exact number) fail to beat the index funds that simply track the S&P 500 or Dow Jones index.

So the moral of the story is, if you want to have your "sheet of integrity" then by all means go with your gut.  If you want to win your office pool, you might think about entering a second submission that just plays out the favorites.  Then you can have your cake and eat it too.  In theory at least.

sitting at 15th with no way of winning (one bracket ahead of me also has the memphis over Kansas result).

But given I only played one sheet, I am feeling pretty good.
