It’s a decent rant for a former Hoosier...

Commissioner Ken sent this rambling rant to yours truly trying to disrupt my pickin’ strategy for the Final Four. Ain’t goin’ work, I’m stayin’ with Butler and Purdue regardless. Since Ken doesn’t know what a blog is and probably think it’s unscriptural, I have posted said comments below for your amusement. Obviously Ken didn’t take the poll or he would not have directed such disparaging remarks to me.

There will be a CORRECT TALLY posted sometime prior to tip-off Saturday. Matt’s and Deborah’s numbers are the only ones that should change. Below is where we currently stand except for Matt and Deborah.

Wounded but not out,
Tim, your humble Picker from Pekin

Ken 48
Amber 47
Tim 46
Kevin 45
Mary Beth 45
Ame 45
Rhonda 43
Lori 43
Matt 43
Deborah 42
Mark H. 42
Mitch 42
Courtney 41
Mark M. 41
Carrye 39
Brooke 39
Kathy 37
Logan 37
Andrew 30
Jonathan 30

And now for your reading pleasure, Commissioner Ken and his first blog post.
Mary Beth is, without doubt, the headliner of this show. Running the contest without her would be like Gone With The Wind starring Woody Allen. Memories of her departure would cloud the ability to pick and one might select some team like Purdue or Butler to win. Recovering from the state of withdraw if she leaves would last well into the baseball season and detract from the joys of watching the Yankees lose to Toronto.
If she goes I will offer an open-ended invitation for her to stay in our spare room and run an even more important pickem contest next year. This invitation will include her kids but not anyone remotely associated with her dismissal from present duties.
The stage is set - - - - let the games begin.

The blog took a little detour on APRIL FIRST. Check the poll out.

We have you behind Matt (no fooling) but Mary Beth sent an email regarding your scores. Ask Matt if he got it too.
