[FONT=Arial]It’s a known fact that the winner of your office pool will be your coworker’s wife, who has never watched a day of basketball in her entire life and has picked the teams based on color and mascot. So what is behind the [COLOR=windowtext]magic formula[/COLOR] that these women use to become so victorious each year? How about: They don’t care.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]It’s that simple.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]This type of person doesn’t have the emotional attachment to a team like we do with the big blue. I can tell you not matter how many times my mind says don’t pick [/FONT][COLOR=windowtext][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial] to win it all, my heart turns around, fills out a bracket and has lost for the last twelve years. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]Now things have gotten easier, [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial] is a legitimate threat again and has had a shot at the championship for a couple of years now. The old “heart” pick doesn’t look as bad as it did under the last few years of Tubby or those other two years which will remain nameless. What it comes down to, when you remove your feelings (love of [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial], hatred of [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Louisville[/FONT][FONT=Arial]) from the equation you might come up with the winning bracket this year. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial]I know these words fall on deaf ears, because I know if you are a fan of the [COLOR=windowtext]Wildcats[/COLOR] you will be just like me. Pick [/FONT][COLOR=windowtext][FONT=Arial]Louisville[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Arial] to lose in the first round, Duke to be upset by [/FONT][FONT=Arial]San Diego [/FONT][FONT=Arial]State[/FONT][FONT=Arial], and [/FONT][FONT=Arial]Kentucky[/FONT][FONT=Arial] to win it all. That’s because we bleed and live blue, and will always have faith in our Cats to win it all. GO CATS! [/FONT]
