My new bracket technique is unstoppable.

Yes, fools! Finally, Kansas PAYS! And what a game! What a comeback! ONE SHINING MOTHERFUCKING MOMENT!
I’m splitting the cash prize with Eugene, because we ended up tied and I won on the tiebreaker. (I picked 78-70.) On Saturday night, I almost emailed him and asked for a pact where we’d split the winning in the event of a tie, because tiebreakers are bullshit. I didn’t send the email because I didn’t want to jinx, but I have to honor the contract I’d have signed behind the veil of ignorance. I learned SOMETHING in philosophy class, damnit. And half the prize is still more than enough for a very nice dinner with Meaghan, who had grounds for dumping me when I was rooting for Kansas to beat her Tar Heels, but stuck with me for some reason. (Reason: she’s wonderful.)
But from now on: no touching a bracket until an hour before tipoff of the first round. Unstoppable!

For a while I thought I had won by not playing. But now I see that I was wrong, dead wrong.
