March Madness Update!

Welcome to the Relentless Optimism March Madness pool!

As everyone knows, we are conducting our league using the brackets and scoring over at www.ESPN.com.  The league page for Relentless Optimism can be found here.  Using that page, you can see the complete current standings in our pool as well as the total points and potential points remaining for each person in the pool.  Individual brackets can be viewed by clicking on the name of each entry.  Please bookmark the pool page and check back often throughout the tournament as ESPN will be updating the results as soon as the games are completed.

We will also do our best to update our team fundraising blog with the current standings at the end of each day of games, starting tonight.  With nine upsets already and eight more games still to play before the end of Round 1, things are all over the place this year!  Amazingly, despite the upsets, our current leader Andy Jenkins has only missed three picks so far, resulting in a score of 210 points out of a possible 240.  Four other players are hot on Andy's heels with 190 points.  The current standings as of right now are:
