Thanks a lot, Buckeyes.

While I rarely do well in the March Madness brackets, this year's installment was particularly painful. Instead of voting party lines, I tend to mix things up a bit in my bracket choices in hopes of gaining big from victorious underdogs.

This year's bracket was not as interesting as those of the past, as many teams performed just as expected. I lost out big time and watched my name fall down the ranks.

I did, however, have the Ohio State Buckeyes going all the way and winning this year. Up through last evening, I had high hopes. In the end, I should have taken my ten buck office pool entry fee and lit a cigar with it, flushed it down the toilet, or let it go out the car window. There's always next year.
