i'm with obama...

 

what... did you think i was about to get all political on you? 

in the not-so-important news of the day, president obama filled out his ncaa tournament brackets. turns out, obama thinks the heels are going to win it all. when asked about his selection, this was his response...

"here's what i like about carolina: experience and balance. i'm going with experience, and i think lawson is going to be healthy." he then offered a little message to the heels... "now, for the tar heels who are watching, i picked you all last year -- and you let me down. this year, don't embarrass me in front of the nation, alright? i'm counting on you."

mr. president... i'm with you. GO HEELS!!!

(by the way... you can click on the bracket above to see a larger version of the original bracket filled out by president obama. picture via whitehouse.gov)

now that the president has weighed in... what about you? who do you think is going to win the national championship?

Jake, All I have to say is GO HEELS!

Although I was with Obama on something political he said this morning. He said, "I am the leader, blame me." Wow, someone in leadership taking responsibility.

I hoping it all goes to their heads and they collapse.

I chose UNC because I am a UVa fan and when Tubby Smith is our coach and we beat UNC next year, I can say we beat the National Champs.

tina - good call.

vince - ouch! that hurts, bro. as i type this, your memphis tigers aren't looking so hot in the 1st round. that could turn out to be a deadly national champion pick if they choke.

casey - i like that rationale. although my sources (i'm local now, you know...) tell me virginia is really high on jeff capel from oklahoma. you should be satisfied with that.

I could actually see North Carolina winning it all.
