Not sure how that's love...he just picked chalk for us. That's expected though, all of his brackets have been chalky. Only two seeds lower than a 10 reaching the second round. I think him putting Florida into the Final Four might be the lowest seed he's ever picked that far.

Do you think there is somebody coaching him before he goes out there to fill out the bracket, making sure he doesn't pick against any swing states, or is that just overthinking it?
When they interviewed Clinton at the BEast tourney, he seemed to have a pretty good knowledge of what was going on and what teams to watch out for, but what else is he going to do with his time now?

Is he running for a 3rd term?

I think you're over-thinking it.

I'm sure he has someone coaching him at least a bit.  I just doubt he has the time to follow the college basketball season.

I think Clinton has a better idea due to:

1) He is not currently president and I know he is probably quite busy as well, but should have some more time on his hands

2) He is a G'Town alum and I'm assuming he then pays more attention to college bball.  I feel as though those who did not attend a school where the bball program is a big deal are much more likely to not follow the sport as much.

There's definitely somebody coaching him. I just don't think it's anything political. I remember a few years ago he mentioned picking against MU because of Dominic James' injury. He was obviously fed that info prior to meeting with Katz. He's a sports fan but I can't imagine the leader of the free world had been following Marquette close enough to know that their PG was injured.

Agreed!  He probably learned from his "answers" to the question "who are your favorite White Sox players?"

Well you must hate America and support [political party] that also hates America!  I [served/worked for/think about] this country and as my right as an American, I will defend my rights against you [commies/facists/reaganite] by any means necessary, because I think that [opposing view] doesn't understand what this nation needs, which is [completely uninformed rhetoric that ignores details and uses catchphrases to make me feel smart and safe]!


Ok.  Now that I got that out of the way, can we please lock the thread?

Obama watches sportscenter every morning while he works out. Says it's his only "me" time. I wouldn't be surprised if he knew plenty about college ball.

If you picked all the higher seeds up and down the line, it has outperformed Obama since he started this.

In the 3rd round, he has 27 of the 32 teams as the higher seed.  In the Sweet 16, he only has #5 UW advancing over a higher seed.  E8, F4 are accoding to the seeds.  The only other "upset" is IU beating the higher seed Louisville in the final game.  He defintely has a B1G bias.

So 90+% of his picks are the higher seed.  I'll bet that is year his 10% of upset will make his bracket worse than picking all the higher seeds.

Surprised no one mentioned that Obama is an obvious Crean lover.  Picked Indiana to win.
