Luke Waltons Forehead presented by the Sports Dude.

I have been two things this week – extremely busy and some what lazy when it comes to the old blog here. I have missed the Sanchez release (good move) as well as some other things, but that is life. However, just sneaking in under the wire is my official NCAA Bracket, so have a look.

I know very little about college basketball this year, very little indeed. In fact, I probably have watched a combined total of ten minutes of college basketball all year. Those minutes were all by accident, mind you, due to there being very little on TV and my thumb deciding it needed a rest from channel surfing. That being said, it is tournament time and I am a sports blogger, so I suppose I should at least throw my picks out there. Laugh if you will, there is no method to my madness, just picking teams based on their names more than anything. That being said, I bring you the sports dudes first annual bracket, presented by yours truly, Luke Walton’s Forehead, so here we go:

That is all, I am sure most will laugh, but these picks come from and uneducated basketball fan. Later – the sports dude.
