AND YET NOTRE DAME IS PLAYING TOMORROW: I'm assuming the confluence of St. Patrick's Day and the start of the tournament today works out better today than last Tuesday's confluence of Mardi Gras and International Women's Day celebrants, or as Seth Meyers put it, "Show us your boobs, but only if you’re okay with that and if you’re not, we completely get it!”
As far as the tournament is concerned, I'm too far removed from active fandom to try to win any bracket via merit, so I'm totally pursuing the hedge fund strategy of gambling on a 2-4 seed to win it all. If I'm going to lose, I don't care how close I was.
added: This Washington Post tournament database is the coolest timewaster of the day, other than watching the games.
