Son of Iceberg » March Madness II

Posted 5 hours ago

Three days in and my bracket is already pretty much cooked. In fact, you might call it the “Corey Haim” bracket – strong start (first seven games picked correctly), dramatic fade (missed Georgetown and UTEP, among others), and then complete collapse (Villanova and Kansas).

They’re really featuring the Filipino community, particularly the market.
