I guess I can watch Dancing with the Stars tonight, because my brackets are toast. I went with some bold picks this year and learned my lesson. According to my basketball wisdom, tonight's game would be between UNC and Texas with UNC winning by a score of 68-57. Too bad the teams playing tonight are Kansas and Memphis.
On a positive note, at least I'm not working and getting buried in trash talk. The shame would be unbearable!

Next year I WILL NOT PICK GONZAGA. Repeat, I WILL NOT PICK GONZAGA. One more time, I WILL NOT PICK GONZAGA. I should just swear off Jesuit schools altogether.

"Even suffering is part of the truth of our life. Thus, trying to shield the youngest from every difficulty and experience of suffering, we risk creating, despite our good intentions, fragile persons of little generosity: The capacity to love, in fact, corresponds to the capacity to suffer, and to suffer together." ~Benedict XVI

Not sooo underappreciated!
Thank you everyone that voted for the Kneeler at the Cannonball awards!!
Words of Father Corapi, for all my politician friends and relatives and those who vote for them
"Catholic office holders, whether presidents, senators, congress men or women, or judges at any level must adhere to Catholic teaching or run the risk of separating themselves from the Body of Christ. In such egregious and chronic cases of gross moral evil such as instituting and perpetuating abortion and the structures of sin that surround it, it is quite probable that such Catholic officials are excommunicated in virtue of the acts themselves. A latae sententiae (automatic) excommunication is likely triggered when they vote for laws, funding, and structures that enable and perpetuate such obvious and egregious evil (Cf. Code of Canon Law, Canons 1364,1398; Canon 1329, par. #2). They are in turn forbidden from approaching the sacraments as the result (Cf. Catechism of Catholic Church #1463)."
"It is not morally possible for any Catholic to support abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, or same-sex marriage. There are no ways around this, no justifications whatever. Why? For the simple reason that the Church holds these things to be intrinsically evil. They are evil in themselves, and no circumstances or subjective conditions can ever change that."

Hey, hey- easy now on those Jesuit schools! Next year, go with Marquette-might be a safer bet.
:)
I finished up pretty well-I picked Kansas to win it all. I finished in 24th place out of 185 people...not bad!
Lisa:
I should've had you help me with my picks this year! I did great last year and that only served to embolden me in my (poor) choices this year. I did get Marquette right in my picks, but was killed by Gonzaga...and even Georgetown I believe.
Was your pool winner take all? Next year we should have a blogger March Madness pool.
First place got $920, second $550, third $360. Winning, even placing would've been great this year because so many participated. (Although the odds of winning go way down.) I did win it all one year and got $600! Luck of the Irish...:)
Yes, I'm in for a blogger and blog reader pool next year!
