Marcch Madness Pseudonyms
The national college basketball championships, lovingly referred to as “March Madness”, occurs every March. 65 university teams as selected to compete in a “one and done” (lose one game and you are out, no pool play like the World Cup, Olympics). One American tradition is trying to predict the winners of each of the games, from the opening games to the championship. For an entry fee, the person who selects the most winners, get a proportion of the entry fees. I used to enter multiple entries into the basketball pool, using my name and a number to identify entries, for example, if my name were Joe Smith, they would be Joe Smith1, Joe Smith2, etc....I was so bad, in a pool of 50 players, 4 of my 5 entries were in last place. Once, just flipping a coin for each game finished better than some of my allegedly researched picks. Then, to avoid embarrassment and continued harassment, I began to use pseudonyms. Now, picking the pseudonyms is more fun than the actual results. What pseudonyms do you think I should use in the future? Do you know who they are?
