I've received a lot of feedback about my last column on March Madness.

"Did that kid really take your money?"

"Do you really hate Dick Vitale?"

"How are you doing in the fun-only-with-a-small-monetary-stipend pool?"

And while it is mathematically impossible for me to actually win, it is also pretty much mathematically impossible for me to lose.

Everyone else and I have Connecticut, Michigan State and Duke in the Final Four, while none of us predicted Ohio State to be anywhere near the top of the South region.
