Red in a Sea of Blue

Two for One

First, a political note. I read in The Inquirer about the Burlington County Bridge Commission and patronage. I remember The Inquirer did something about the Philadelphia Parking Authority, too. I agree with what they are saying, I just can’t wait for them to do something about Joe Hoeffel’s election board.

Next, I did my NCAA Tournament Bracket. I’m posting this at 1:13 on Sunday. For the Minnesota-Virginia Tech-Mississippi State spots, my general theory is this. Virginia Tech is only knocked out if both Mississippi State and Minnesota Win. If both don’t win, Virginia Tech gets the higher of the two open spots, and either Minnesota or MS State gets the lower spot, with whoever wins their conference getting it. If Minnesota and Mississippi State lose, Minnesota gets the lower open spot and VT the higher one.

A lot less complicated then it seems… here it is…
