Thursday night results and standings to this point

Friends,

Good games last night, but let's face it, a boring outcome. Two 1-seeds and two 2-seeds in the regional finals? Yawn. Big genius (but with a cautionary footnote) is Bill O'Hearn, who picked all four winners corrrectly. Here's the footnote: sure, Bill, you picked all the games right. And I know, I know, a correct pick is a correct pick. Still, isn't it a little cheap to rocket into a tie for first place because you picked matching 1-2 regional finals? Don't you feel, well, dirty? Cheap? No? Just happy to be winning. Well, I guess I get that. You Etonians and your playing field ethos. It won you Waterloo and it seems likely to win you the pool. And Britons never never never shall be slaves.

I think I started ranting a little right there. Sorry, the tread on my mind's tires isn't what it used to be. I need chains or steel-belted radials to keep my mind from slipping off the road. Where we was was that I was fixing to tell you the standings. And here they is:
