First, congratulations to Sarah Prown, who has won the pool more often than anyone else. Our family has a lot of work to do to catch up to your record. And a big thanks to the poolmesiter and site organizers.
But most importantly, congratulations to our own Sophie Mac, Ithaca's finest guesser! Let's not worry that she can't drink a toast to her own success (much less stay up and watch the game); her parents are more than willing to do it for her. I believe there was a recent study that found a direct correlation between fine parenting and offspring doing well in the NCAA pool--can one of you librarians find that? Not that Matt and I want to take credit for Sophie's brains or beauty--but then, who else should?
Now, how much was the kitty, again?

Congratulations, Sophie!!! The first kid to win... think how moronic all us grown-ups feel today. Thanks, kid. Enjoy your victory thoroughly... gloating would not be out of the question. :)
That was a thorough rout last night. I couldn't bear to watch most of the second half. What do they put in that North Carolina water? Do tobaccy and hog farm run-off produce some kind of steroid? What a team!
Yes Congratulations Sophie and almost everyone else for that matter. But I am an in very good company at the very bottom of the standings. Finally thanks to the Meister and everyone else for their amusing posts this year. It has been fun as always. I may yet get Diana back in the Pool - she had the following on her FB page Saturday: "I don't really care about the NCAA tournament. I don't. I read the headlines though, and I think, go UNC, go, Go, GO! Rip whoever it is to shreds, take 'em out, stomp on their hearts, because you are UNC and you can, you will do it!. That's what's on my mind."
It doesn't take a kid winning the pool to make me feel like a moron.
Way to go Sophie! That's some picking, right there.
Nice going, Sophie! Finally, change has come to the pool!
