Bracket Time
So you have your bracket and you have already filled in Kansas to go all the way, but the office pool rules dictate that you pick the winners of every game. So I thought I would share a couple resources that can help make picking those games a lot easier.
Poologic.com (as in Pool+Logic not Poo+Logic)
This site has a good primer in basic and advanced strategy to WIN (claims to have won $250,00 for users) office pools, but the true value comes from the Poologic Calculator. It is pool selection generator that allows you to define the point system your pool is using and then set values for other calculation criteria including different probability models. The website looks like it was made in the early 90′s, but it computationally solid.
This is a sports simulation website that uses statistical data to model simulated match-ups. Each year it crunches data for big dance and has it’s college basketball simulation engine play the entire tournament 2,000 times. They have successfully picked the last two national champions from these simulations. The 2010 results are shown here, but you can also simulate individual match-ups for those games where you just can’t decide who to pick.
Who else has a method for their March Madness?

Domination!
There is a great picture on the cover of the Lawrence Journal World Sports page. A couple of readers submitted their “edited” versions and I had to share them.

Mizvoodoo Doll
I get pretty heated when thinking about Missouri in general, but it gets worse when they play head to head with Kansas. So this year I decided to stop taking out my anger on those around me and focus it on something more “productive”. Click the image or link below to download a the pdf to make your own Mizvoodoo doll. You can print out on standard 8.5″ x11″ paper.
Tear it’s arms off when they shoot free throws or stab it in the gut when they go into that psycho press. Enjoy the power of the dark arts as we go Tiger hunting to close out the Big12 schedule.
Feel free to send in pictures of your mutilated effigy. I will post them on Monday.
