I've earned my degree- in Bracketology!

[Patches]

<p>Thanks to UCLA last night, I won 500 bucks with my bracket.&nbsp; That same bracket will also earn me a $150 gift certificate to Best Buy through smithappens.com, if&nbsp;tomorrow's winner scores 73 or more.&nbsp; I am also winning Bama's NCAA pool.</p><p>This almost makes up for all the money lost over the years on this and fantasy sports.&nbsp; </p><p>Not fucking quite.&nbsp;</p>

[JimBeam]

<p>I won $213 with the UF win.</p><p>I had LSU &amp; UF in the Champ game so as long as either of them won yesterday I won the &quot; jackpot &quot;.</p><p>I look it as 200 bucks I didnt have prior to that.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>good for you guys ...</p><p>i lost any hope in my ability to predict any kind of sporting event ... my bracket managed to suck and blow</p>

[JimBeam]

<p>Actually my picks are usually worse and I lucked out.</p><p>In most college sports events I usually pick heavy on the SEC side ( I went to LSU ).</p><p>I tried not to do that in this year's bracket and I actually picked against UK who I would normally always pick in a basketball tourny.</p><p>Well when&nbsp;I was done with all my picks I had 3 SEC teams in the Final 4 ( LSU, UF &amp; Tenn with Kansas the other team ) totally on coincidence.</p><p>I actually couldnt have told you 2 guys on LSu's basketball team prior to the first round of games.</p><p>I only picked them because the fat black guy from Pardon The Interupption made a good case for them.</p><p>Turns out he was 90% correct.</p>
