Today, my friends, is the most wonderful sports weekend of the year. Nothing is better than the first weekend of the NCAA tournament and it is here. If you’re one of the people that had the stones to actually call in sick to work today to watch basketball under your brain implodes, congratulations if you’re like the rest of us and can’t wait to get home to watch the games tonight (particularly USC/Kansas State), I hope your day goes quickly.

I thought as we begin the tourney, I’d look ahead a little bit and give my Final Four picks. I feel certain that when the Facebook Bottom Line Bracket Challenge ends I will not be opining about my own wisdom but rather someone else’s as my bracket is likely to hit any number of roadside bombs along the way to April 5. I’m unflappable, however, in my confidence in my Final Four picks.

East Regional: North Carolina
