ESPN reported only two of six million entries had a VCU vs. Butler Final Four match-up. 3,000,000:1 odds seems about right for you finishing second. :)

I need to point out that a certain person posted on Facebook that he was formally picking both the UConn women and men to win it all. I was going to reply "Kiss of Death; Please, please, change your pick!" But, you know, this was on Facebook, not SI. Sometimes your immediate family has no sense of humor.

So then the UConn women lose. I'm now seriously thinking about begging said person to change their pick. And then, a miracle. Said person posted that no way would the UConn men now win. He was now a Butler fan. A wave of relief swept over me. And, of course, UConn did win. All is now right with the universe.
