A Pretty Poor Showing, For Both Of Us… But Duke Really Crushed His Bracket; And Marquette Dented Mine.

Just for the record — now, for only the third time in 13 years — I’ve come out ahead of the former President (out of about 6.9 million brackets posted on CBS Sports).

So… I’ll claim it.

Winning ugly, is still… winning.

But the idea that not one number one seed would even make it to the Elite Eight round, is… unprecedented.

Truly, it was a year of the… improbable. [But I should also note that in the “land of the usual” — he beat me easily in the women’s brackets. Again.]

Hold all your nine-year olds close tonight — in fact, hold all the lil’ ones… close.
