I thought this guy was a clown when he called our football head coaching job one of the bottom three in the AAC, but this takes the cake:

Upset pick: No. 10 St. Joseph's over No. 7 UConn

Since picking St. Joseph's over UConn is about as bold as picking Florida to win the title, here's a bonus tip. The upsets you don't pick are more important than the ones you do. Don't be temped by No. 12 Harvard over No. 5 Cincinnati or No. 11 Providence over No. 6 UNC. Cincinnati will overwhelm Harvard with its athleticism and Providence's Big East run really only featured one win over an NCAA tournament team.

I forget, does St. Joe's have a first-team All-American on their team? No? Then by all means, go with your trendy little upset pick.

That is such a lame upset pick. It has to be close to 50-50 on 7-10 matchups so even if we did lose it isn't really an upset. Grow some balls.

Well considering we opened as a four point favorite, I wouldn't say we are really a trendy upset pick, but ok, Pete.

60% (7 seeds) 40% (10 seeds). Only 8/9 is closer.

If he had any balls he would pick against his alma mater. He knows how March treats Boeheim.

Thamel is a douchenozzel with a superjohn for St John's. The next positive thing he writes about UConn will also be the first.

What is odd is that Thamel's bracket got posted on SI and he has us losing in the Sweet 16 to UNC....
