Poll Results -- Biggest Mistake in Sports (Plus New Question)

I must have struck a nerve with my last poll question, because a ton of people voted on it.

As it turns out, the readers of this blog are basically split:
38% said adding 96 teams to the NCAA tournament would be the biggest mistake
35% think realignment in baseball would be a more costly error
12% think the BCS is a disaster
12% think not allowing NHL players into the Olympics would be horrible

Now, you do have to realize that this blog is a baseball blog (most times, ha!), so the results are skewed a bit. If I were to post this same question on a hockey blog, I'd imagine the NHL question would get more votes. Even still, amongst the baseball fans that read this blog, they still feel that expanding the NCAA tournament would be the most egregious mistake.

I have a new poll question up on the right, asking you to project which former South Bend outfielder will end up having the best MLB career. Obviously we know what Mike Cameron has done, but you have to project what you think for the other three.

My Picks

So most of you don't care about my entire NCAA tournament bracket, but I figured I'd at least get my Final Four picks on the record so that I can brag when it happens.

I have Kansas beating Kansas State in one Final Four matchup.
In the other, I have Kentucky beating Villanova.

And in the finals, going with my heart more than my head, I have my beloved Kentucky Wildcats cutting down the nets for the 8th time in school history.

UPDATE: In typing the tags for this post, I just realized that three of the four teams I have in the Final Four have the same mascot: Wildcats.

Happy Friday

My apologies for the short posts the last two days, as I'm a little under the weather. We're getting so close to the start of the season, and the number of posts on this blog will increase greatly. There are also a couple of other changes to the blog in store, but you'll have to wait to find out what those are going to be.

In the meantime, I encourage everyone to enjoy watching a ton of college basketball this weekend, capped off by the Selection Show on Sunday night.

I'll be back on Monday with more baseball posts...I promise.

March Madness

Since it's that time of year, and because I want to brag when I get them all correct, here are my final four predictions:

Final Four
UConn over Kansas
Pitt over UNC

Finals
Pitt over UConn

Now granted, that's one of about five brackets I've filled out this year, but we'll go with that one as the official one, simply because it's the first one I filled out. How about your bracket? Let me know your thoughts on who will win it all in the comments below.
