Okay, okay, I joined one of those Nancy pools...

Micheal,

As crazy as these college basketball fans on Church Street seem to be - I have decided to try my luck and predict some upsets in their Nancy pool. I am pretty confident in my forecasting abilities so here are my picks and my coveted rationale (which I am only sharing with you in confidence as when I win I am sure college sports analysts all over the country will be eager to know):

Boston College, as it is the closest school to Burlington VT where I am currently living - I can't pick a school from around here because all of VT's athletes are pitiful.

Robert Morris, to support a fine PA school and team - not that I believe any college is better than the school of life.

Connecticut, in memory of the former Dunder Mifflin Stamford branch.

Cornell, cause I know more about Cornell than Andy ever will and I didn't even go there.

California, duh - the Golden Bears.

Pittsburgh, yet another fine PA school and team - you didn't go to college Micheal (or one with any real sports) and you turned out OK.

UCLA, duh - the Bruins, in case you needed to the education - a bruin is type of bear.

Akron, in honor of the Dunder-Mifflin branch there.

Syracuse, because they are the closest team to the Rochester branch. Rochester is like a more affluent Syracuse.

Morgan St., duh - the Bears.

Sincerely,
Dwight Schrute
