UCLA Wins the National Championship

By evolgen on April 3, 2006.

Following my Sweet 16 optimism, my bracket was blown to shit. I am currently sitting in fourth place in the ScienceBlogs pool, but I last earned points when UCLA made it to the Final Four. Teutonic Thunder (whomever that may be) has won the pool regardless of who wins tonight (we think). He or she can step forward and claim the prize of absolutely nothing. As for the title to this post, see below the fold.

Why would I title my post "UCLA Wins the National Championship"? Let's just say it has something to do with this email I received from Amazon:

And, yeah, I would love to see UCLA get their asses kicked tonight. Or, better yet, lose when Vince Young runs across the goal line Joakim Noah buries a jumper with 19 seconds on the clock to put Florida up by four. See also this post on Deadspin.

Florida's Championship
As the resident college basketball nut, I suppose I should comment on Florida's national championship victory. This was only the second time ever that a team had gone from unranked to start the season to a national championship (Villanova in 1985 was the other). No one expected this team to be this…
March (Physics) Madness
I give you the last four rounds of the Worst NCAA Pool Bracket Ever: That's small and hard to read, but it's filled out with the winners determined by the rankings of the physics graduate programs of the competing schools. (If only one of the schools offers a Ph.D. program in physics, that school…
