Is My Dog 94% as Smart As Our President?

* Artist's Conception of Spot's Demeanor.

Barack H. Obama still leads the PSU Track Alumni Basketball Pool, but Spot Moskowitz (named after a character in the Odd Couple Series) made a big move to close the gap.  He may be nearly as smart as our President in basketball knowledge.  I feel Spot has him beat in both Domestic and Foreign Relations though.  Don't be alarmed, he had Bush beat too.  I think he is at least as old as Coach Groves, so he probably had Eisenhour beat also!  Here's Ken Cooper's Sweet 16 Update!

Upsets and milestones.  On the eve the “Fab 5” ran on ESPN, Michigan almost gains revenue against Duke, but it was not to be.  Pitt becomes the first #1 seed to choke.  More to come?  Highlights as we nail the Sweet 16:

1.       Nice work to Penn State wrestling – National Champs.

2.       Impressive…. Barack Obama still leads the pool.  Insert your own political joke here.

3.       Bob Hamer in 2^nd?  He hasn’t sniffed Top 10 since Pitino and Jamal Mashburn were getting stymied by Duke in the 90’s.

4.       Christie Riter – no faith in Madison?

5.       Dan Kunetz and JudyLynn Weaver – wow, 12 of Sweet 16 correct.  Very impressive!

6.       Florida State realized they not only cheated in football, but they also can play hoops.  Nice work to Crash, Ryan Caldwell and Tommy Bisko with that pick.

7.       Who needs Gordon Hayward as Butler uses a thrilling last 1.5 seconds to make it to the Sweet 16.  No one picked this, however there were 3 folks who did pick Old Dominion.  Everyone else had Pitt.  Oops. 

8.       R.B. – nice work.

9.       Only 3 people forgot Dwayne Wade no longer plays for Marquette and put them into the Sweet 16 – Jim Carney, Katya Dimitrova and Hammer

10.   No one picked VCU into the Sweet 16, except Kletter, Dan Kunetz, Jay Novak and Dave Strandberg.  Very nice.

11.   Average of Sweet 16 about 1 point more in 2011 with 8.63 than last year at 7.78.
