Friends--I'm just feeling sucky 'cause of my four teams--three alma maters and one childhood favorite--all four are out in the first round of the tournament!

What the hell is wrong with me?

Can't I pick better schools than that to go to and grow up near?

Is this any indication of my inability to be a true sports nut?

*sob*

My school got eliminated in the first round... by Winthrop. Blargh.

I feel your pain.

TM--sorry to hear about your team.

I have to tell you that not only did all four of my teams drop the ball--but my bother's teams did too--and so did my sister's.

I'm thinking this is some kind of family curse?
