You know how the San Francisco Giants had this even-year phenomenon when they'd win the World Series in even-numbered years (2010, 2012, 2014), but not even make the playoffs in the years between?
Reminds me an awful lot of myself and my powers and predicting the champions of March Madness. While no archives exist, since everything was done by actually printing out your bracket and filling it in in ink back then, I correctly predicted the champion in four consecutive odd-numbered years between 2005 and 2011.
The Raymond Felton Tar Heels of '05, the Joakim Noah/Al Horford/Corey Brewer Gators of '07, the Tyler Hansbrough Tar Heels of '09, and lastly, the Kemba Walker Huskies of '11.
What happened to my touch in 2013 and 2015? I couldn't tell you. Things even themselves out.
But I'm here to tell you I'm doing my best to recreate that odd-numbered mojo, and tell you that the University of Rhode Island Rams will be the last team cutting down the nets in Glendale, Ariz. on April 3. So crack open your skunked Gansett's from your moms basement, catch up on the Kardashian episodes with Lamar Odom, and get some takeout from IZone. The tournament runs through Kingston.
PS - UCLA is the pick
PPS - such a shame Providence blew a 17-point halftime lead last night. At least it wasn't 28-3
PPPS - URI will be playing on the second weekend. Creighton is a faux-Big East team and Oregon is possibly the most fraudulent sports program in the country.
