Updates

The FGBC low stakes gambling HQ is a busy place these days. There's plenty of basketball chatter going on in the hallways over in the March Madness division and Milan - San Remo has the energy level running pretty high in the Cycling Pool office as well. Good times.

Yesterday's leader of the March Madness Pool made a little trip down through the standings yesterday and now resides close to the bottom. After picking 15 of 16 games on the first night, Jonah could only muster 7 of 16 yesterday. And having picked Wake Forest to go to the finals, his hopes for a comeback are all but done. LeAnn's chances are also looking rather slim after her overall winner, Flordia State, is heading back home after losing their opening game. Johnny S is our current leader with 26 points, followed by Katie and Margaret with 25 apiece. More here. In past years, it is usualy in the second round where the contenders are separated from the pretenders in the FGBC March Madness Pool. So today and tomorrow should be fun.

MSR is currently on the ticker. Poor little Stuey O'Grady has already crashed out. Boonen has gone down too, but he seems fine. They're about two-thirds of the way there, with 198 of 198 covered so far. Surf on over to cyclingfans.com for live coverage options. And check back later today for a run-down of all the implications for the FGBC Spring Classics Pool.

I'm movin' up! Johnny is oblivious to his lead this morning but I'll inform him.

Games on Friday went well but unfortunately our best game was first (NDSU held on longer than we thought!)

Games go again Sunday...rock on!
