Fat, Drunk and Stupid is No Way to Go Through Life, Son

A stunning display of prognosticatory ineptitude by the G:TB Hoops staff - good thing all those folks from the DC Sports Bog and With Leather came over to have a look. As a group, we went 18-14 in round one - it's an achievement to be that bad on accident.

On the plus side, we've all got our regional champions alive and kicking for at least a few more hours. Overall standings after round one:

Rob (East) - 5-3, 25 points
TJ (South) - 5-3, 23 points
Dennis (West) - 4-4, 15 points
Whit (Midwest) - 4-4, 14 points

In order to reduce the confusion for those of you coming to our humble abode from Dan Steinberg's stellar DC Sports Bog (much love for the shout-out, Steinz), here's why he thought of us after VCU's win over Duke.

Long story short, G:TB's own TJ has been on the VCU bandwagon since the jump, partly because we're all CAA fans and partly because his idiot savantry is particularly heightened when it comes to mid-major hoops. I'd accept Steinberg's kudos, too, except that I picked Drexel to win the conference right around the same time my colleague latched on to VCU.
