Bobby "Big Mac" McDonald Is the 90&9 Tourny Champ!
Posted by: David Bunch
Big Mac has pulled off the repeat victory and is 90&9's NCAA Tournament Pool champion for the second year in a row! It all came down to whether Florida or Ohio State won (if Ohio State had won Jaime McDonald would have taken home the big prize). But as you now know, Florida has repeated as NCAA basketball champs and so has Bobby McDonald (Brad's father).
And speaking of Brad's family, the McDonald clan certainly pulled off the trifecta, with Jaime finishing second and Shirley (aka Mimi) finishing 3rd.
Here's a list of the top 5 finishers:
BMac
Jaime McDonald
ShirleyMc
Riverside Dawgs
(Tie) The Viktims and Lee Ann
Thanks to everyone who participated!
Also, be sure to read Kent's thoughts on the media coverage (or lack thereof) of the championship aftermath euphoria. His comments really put our cultural attitudes in perspective and it also made me realize, once again, that media equals hype. As Kent points out, the media/culture are always looking for the next big thing, and I add that the media are also in the business of "hyping" everybody all the time to increase reader/viewer numbers and therefore satisfy advertisers. The result is that as soon as one "hyped" event ceases, it becomes time to start "hyping" the next event immediately. I guess that's why we're all so "hyper"active.

I love the visuals. It really helped me picture the one, two, three finish. :)
