Out of the eight possible outcomes to the Final Four, Smelly (Mike's Picks) would be victorious in six of them and therefore win the Fifth Annual. The only way Matt (Coach Roy's Picks) can pull off the comeback is if UNC wins the whole bag of pistachios. Mmm...pistachios....

My good friend Keith and I wrote a comic strip way back when for UVa's daily newspaper The Cavalier Daily. Here's the strip from five years ago today (click to expand):

Gross. Check out the archive.

Check out the new documentary Perfect Upset: The 1985 Villanova vs. Georgetown NCAA Championship tonight at 9PM on HBO. Don't get HBO? What the eff is wrong with you? You cheap bastard.

It's David vs Goliath, it's North vs South, it's ACC vs Big East, it's a beautiful suburban private school vs a snooty overrated public school, it's for a trip to the elite eight, but mostly, Villanova vs North Carolina is Carl's chance to pull away from the field in the Fifth Annual.

NBC is cancelling "Third Watch" to make room for the next Law & Order series. What will you fill your tivo with now, Michelle?

NCAA Basketball Trivia for all of you Iracane.com fans out there: "Since the NCAA began holding official men's basketball championship tournaments in 1939, only three teams from the state of New Jersey have made the Final Four. All three suffered the same fate. Who were they and what eventually befell them?" Click here to read the answer. You'll need to scroll to the bottom of the article.

After 24 games have finished and 24 teams have been eliminated, the standings atop the Fifth Annual are crowded. Everyone's bracket is doing well (except the few of us who picked Pitt to make the Sweet Sixteen). Seems like Illinois-UNC is a common choice for the nat'l championship game among the leaders.

Woohoo! A truly local car-crashin' story!

Ashok Patel (...) was pulling into the Woroco station about 11:25 a.m. when (...) he hit a Toyota parked in the lot, drove up and over a snow bank and down a steep hill (...) through a fence at the top of the hill and another at the bottom before landing in the shallow end of the pool behind the home at 44 Holland Road.

Go Ashok!

After a full slate of 8 afternoon games, only Vince correctly predicted all eight games and sits alone atop The Fifth Annual. Huzzah!

Eighty-year-old man plus thirty-year-old car all too often equals disaster. If I owned a store that had a parking lot where customers drove directly up to the front of the building, I'd put out huge concrete barriers to prevent this sort of thing. Especially if I owned a La-Z Boy showroom.

I know this only counts as breaking news for me and maybe 2 other people in the entire world, but my favorite Scottish pop music group Teenage Fanclub are releasing a new LP soon. C'mon...don't you remember "Star Sign"?

If I had more frequent flier miles (read: if I had any frequent flier miles) I would fly to California this weekend for Tim Burton's garage sale. Items up for sale include furniture (meh), jewelry (feh), and movie memorabilia (ding!).
