Kaboom! That sound you hear is my bracket blowing up thanks to defending champs Florida losing a close game last night. At least a Big 10 team beat them! Karen also lost her championship team with Florida, but she must have selected well throughout the rest of the bracket because she currently is sitting in second place behind Grandpa.
