| If Indiana wins |
 |
| Well, here we go. Tonight is for all the marbles. Maryland vs Indiana. Great drama if you're a college basketball fan, what with one of the really great Cinderella stories in recent memory in Indiana making the finals. Now, "Cinderella" is a vastly overused expression in this tournament, but this time its very appropriate. The #5 seeded Hoosiers stumble through a lackluster regular season (for them) and come into this tournament with a snowballs chance of winning (matter of fact, I toyed with having Utah knock them off in the first game!). Look at 'em now. The "Giant Killers" of college basketball, having dispatched of both the Evil Empire and Oklahoma along with the upstart Golden Flashes of Kent State. Quite a remarkable run. Like I said, great drama if you're a college basketball fan. Not such great drama if you're a college basketball POOL fan as phenom Chris "C Mac" McGurrin has already clinched first place. Thats right. Win or lose, Chris wins as nobody (N O B O D Y) had Indiana getting this far. The only thing at stake is second and third. A quick recap of the two scenarios are as follows: |
| 1. Chris "C Mac" McGurrin 2. Bob "FTD" Bousquet Rosanne "Spanky" McFarland Joseph "WKRP's Les" Nesbitt |
| 105 103 103 103 |
| If Maryland wins |
| 1. Chris "C Mac" McGurrin 2. Rosanne "R Mac" McFarland 3. Frank "copy cat" McGurrin |
| 137 135 134 |
| It would appear that all these years of living with his basketball savvy son may be about to pay off for the Mac Daddy. Frank by the way indicates that Chris will not see a dime of his winnings. What the heck is up with that? Don't let him do it kid! Tell him that money is earmarked for a Sony Playstation II. |
| No playstation, No peace! No playstation, No peace! |

| A review of the leaderboard by the way shows an interesting name at the unlucky 13 position. |
| Number 13 ... how appropriate in light of the whoopin my Oklahoma squad got on Saturday. Also of interest is the #15 spot held down by the great Pete Lamoureux of WNNZ's The Zone sports radio who has administered his own whoopin of sorts on his colleagues Sebastian and Ugly Mike. Speaking of Ugly Mike ... |

| 42 40 40 39 32 21 |
| Also, in light of the decision by "Team Sioch" to refuse the last place prize of a $5 refund, congratulations of sorts are in order for Joan Burkhart. It just wouldn't be right taking your money, Joan. But hey, theres always next year (by the way ... its really her husbands picks). |

| And remember to check your scores, folks. The statute of limitations on challenges tolls on Wednesday night and the money gets distributed on Thursday. Actually, I have a vacation day on Thursday (field trip with Ms Schultze's 2nd grade class) so money gets distributed on Friday. Hugs and kisses, The Commish |
