Deadlines have been tough last couple of days. Finished a couple of projects in fine fashion. Now onto my passion. I have decided to table all moves until the season starts. Even considered adding a third team to give me a chance to get back into the roster juggling business but held the temptation. Besides, three teams are too many teams to track, manage, etc. Once the season starts.
Filled out a free Yahoo! NCAA tourney bracket. I think I have Illinois going all the way. I know, it doesn't take a brain surgeon to pick chalk. It would be OK with me if they won. Frankly, I don't pay enough attention to college basketball to know who is good enough to win; listening and watching the basketball pundits is out of the question.
