Well, March Madness has officially started. I sometimes miss my teaching days when March Madness was a bigger than life event...everyone, the faculty, staff and students would have their grids keeping them up to date and talking about the big upsets that happen along the way.
OK, so here are my picks for the first round...some are a little unorthodox, but for a few I have explanations...here it goes...
