The field is growing
As of press time, the Tomasulo selection committee has extended 75 invitations to the "WGN Morning News Bracket Challenge." Again, participation is unlimited, because the last thing we want is for all you Drexel's and Syracuse's to go on ESPN and complain. You will be swiftly eliminated anyhow.
Brackets don't go public until the start of the tournament tomorrow morning- that way, none of my picks can be copied. Though if you were to look under the hood of this handicapping machine, you might spot a manifold made by Oral Roberts, and an engine built on Oregon.
If I had to rate the "Challenge" field, I'd say "Pat Tomasulo's Understudy" is a lock for the Final Four. That's a team loaded with talent, good looks, and a clear goal- to be like Pat Tomasulo.
I also like "Find your inner Celine Dion." I have found mine, and it's brought harmony to my life.
"U Got Owned By An 8th Grader" also looks tough. This is a team that has no regard for spelling or proper grammar- only tough, hard-nosed predictions.
I can also tell you a few teams that have no chance. "I've fallen and I can't get up" will enjoy an early exit. Anyone who so easily accepts a crippling injury doesn't have the fortitude to last in this field. "BetterThanTomasulo" is guaranteed a first round loss for obvious reasons. And I also don't like "Chi-Texan." Which one are you? If you can't make a decision about that, how can you make a decision about a college basketball game?
Don't forget your brackets must be completed by tomorrow morning, before the first round. I don't want you leaving any picks blank, because the last thing I need is an advantage.
*To play, this is what you need to do.

- Next, enter "102001" for the league I.D., and "wgn" for the password
- Lastly, make your picks
All you need to do is make your picks, and the website will update the standings. I will update the pool on the blog and on the show.

That stinks! I told my husband I was going to steal the hottie Pat's pics from WGN since I know nothing about basketball.
I love Robin- she is hysterical!!!

Pat, I NOTICE THAT OTHER WGN SPORT ANCHORS DO NOT HAVE A FOLLOWING in the brackets...
I WOULD NOT BE INVOLVED IF YOU did not present the 'bracket' info on the AM show. It has given me an opportunity to have some fun during March Madness. I will have fun matching our 'group' pick to my husbands picks, now I have my own 'WGN GROUP' to check out...cool.
