Thanks for the link dude. Watching Knight I can honestly say he hasn’t been too bad. There have been a few times when he’s been pretty funny.

Now, regarding Vitale….ugh. Sometimes he makes me embarrassed to be Italian.

I can’t see any reason to laugh at your bracket. The only thing that raises my eyebrow is advancing Vandy so far when their road game is so questionable, but I can’t say it won’t happen either.

And it certainly beats the test run I did on ESPN’s little AccuScore simulator where both North Carolina and Tennessee lost in the first round. (Mt. St. Mary’s made it to the Sweet 16, even.)
