It comes down to the final game: if UNC wins, Jon Russell (the CHEESEHUSKER) wins the pool and I come in fourth. If Illinois wins, I win the pool (and the estimable Cheesehusker comes in 10th).
What do we get for winning the pool? Invitations to the 2006 MoParMaN family reunion? (Come on, UNC!)

I don't know, but I, a non-playing fan, wish they'd bring back the old ones. At least we have ESPN Classic and can watch that lovely Suns-Celts sextuple-overtime game where they're wearing real unis.
