Like many Dartmouth students, I entered into an NCAA March Madness pool this season. In a shocking moment, both of my teams made it to the national championship game (this is generally a rare occurrence, but not when the teams are two No. 1 seeds), giving me the opportunity for my first correct national champion since 2001, when I picked Duke to win it all (I have picked the correct champion twice so far in my life, and both times have been No. 1 seeds). My fellow sports columnist Rob Esposito ‘07 has Florida over UNC in the final (my 14-year-old brother had UNC in the final too, so congrats to Rob), so depending on who won last night, only one sports columnist now reigns supreme (I took the man-child Greg Oden of THE Ohio State University). I only hope for Mr. Esposito’s sake that Florida wins, if only to save him the distinction of finishing behind Kyle Owusu ‘07, Allie Levine ‘07, and Chris Ward ‘07 in “Kyle, Rob, Allie and Chris’ March Madness Pool.” Note to amateur sports columnists everywhere: when you are involved in a pool in part named after yourself, you better make sure your predictions are decent, especially when those predictions are readily available on the Internet.
