All Too Fantasy NCAA
It's that time of year again! It's time to start taking 3 hour lunch breaks to go watch 32 basketball games in the next 48 hours!
Yes that's right. I'm talking about March Madness. The Big Dance. The NCAA Basketball Tournament!
As we set out to make our picks, we realized the tournament coincided with the release of a new book by O'Reily publishing called "Google Hacks." There's a really nice write-up in there about the Google Mirror and a brief biography of Ton. Sweet.
Anyway, they also mention a little site called Googlefight where you sic two words against one another, and the wrod with the most Google results wins. What better way to make our picks (other than random number generator) than by Googlefighting the names of the teams mascots! The team with the more popular mascot will win! This doesn't bode well for the Orangemen, but we'll see what happens.
Let the games begin! (And don't miss our witty commentary on the games - roll your mouse over some of the team names to get the full ATF NCAA effect)
