    The president got his picks in

    Obama picks Louisville, North Carolina, Memphis and Pittsburgh in his Final Four bracket.


    Never thought I would see this

    Copying his picks to use in my pools.

    This is a new method. "Copy president" is way more original than "coin flip" and "best mascot."

    Okay, Facebook is making me put in a final score for the two teams, but Obama doesn't seem to have written one down. What do I do here?

    I think that is some D&D thing. I'm going to attempt to translate

    2D6 = roll....2 dice of 6?

    We're not all the same kind though!

    I just found out last year that D&D isn't a board game, and the whole "Make up a new scenario every time" nature of it.

    I was all, "Oh! It's kind of like Phalla."

    Anyway: Obama picked N. Carolina over Louisville. Keeping in mind that I know nothing about this, what is a reasonable score I can type in?

    College basketball games usually have scores like 150-145, so just pick two numbers around there.

    I see now why Obama wanted to keep his blackberry. For keeping up with scores and highlights.

    In the sense that it does not have a set theme (they played a game with a pirate theme).

    I assumed it was just a board game with a standard, generic pseudo-LOTR theme.

    I didn't know what I dungeon master actually does, making up the "storyline," like the host in Phalla.

    I set my yahoo and Facebook brackets finally. I picked Michigan St. in all of them. Final scores somewhere in the 74-68(70) range.

    I used the don't stop to think about it, just pick method. Hoping my first instincts don't totally suck.

    Wait.

    The total game score is usually in the first range, and the scores of each team fall in the second?

    That makes more sense. Have some changes to make.

    Okay, my dad invited me to both men's and women's pools.

    Far as I can tell, Obama did not fill out a women's bracket (sexist).

    The best I can come up with is filling out the women's bracket using the positions of seeds in Obama's men's bracket (so UConn corresponds to Louisville and so on).

    Write me a one page essay on whether or not this is sound reasoning.

    I filled mine out

    then I turned on Sportscenter

    and changed things

    then saw Obama's bracket, and other brackets

    and changed things again

    I'll pretty much be changing things until tip-off

    PS Illinois could maybe make it to next week but they'll probably lose to gonzaga so that probably won't happen

    but they'll be really good next year

    the big ten should have a bunch of really good teams next year
