Dribbling over the brackets

Sixty-five teams, one very indecisive Kate. Anyone else in a March Madness pool?

I've got two days to pony up a bracket and $5 each for the two pools I'm in. Oh, that it were so easy. I'm on the fence about a couple of upsets.

Paul's bracket is a long shot, even by his standards. I think our biggest first-round disagreement so far has been Xavier/Georgia. I think third-seed Xavier is going to pull this off, but he says 14-seed Georgia has been touched by the basketball gods. I admit Georgia's four-win SEC upset points to a team that probably deserves higher than a 14 seed, but I'm just not seeing them taking Xavier down.

He has the championship as a rematch between Memphis and the University of Tennessee, with Memphis winning. Such an optimist! Odds are a million to one that game will ever happen again. Right now, I have North Carolina winning the championship. That might change in the next couple of days though.

Advice?

Thanks for the hoodie reply. I'm not really a faux fur collar kind of guy (I'm an editor!) but I'm getting some ideas of what's out there.

Oh, and I received my Elvis pic yesterday, so I posted the items in my wall of fame on my blog!

The problem is I would still be purchasing--and would own--a hoodie with a fur collar. I'd know it!

Show me a guy in a hoodie with a fur collar, and I'll bet his pockets contain a few Euros, a condom wrapper, half a pack of Gaulois cigarettes, and an iPhone with the numbers of Lindsey Lohan, Ethan Hawk, and Liza Minnelli stored on it.

I... I just can't be that guy.
