School Affiliation(s) if applicable: USC class of 2003; 2nd year Ph. D. student at Stanford.
Favorite men's college basketball team(s): Nominally, Stanford, as I'm supposed to care about my home institution. The fact that our team is named after a color, though, makes it hard to rally around an intimidating cheer. I also like the name Vanderbilt, so I tend to pick them to do well.
How you know Brendan / How you found this pool: I lived 2 doors away from him Freshman year at SC and have used his website to stalk him ever sense. Bwahahaha! (convenient thunder clap)
Anything else we should know about you: My brother's been having fun pointing out that for much of the season, Stanford and LSU were trading back and forth for 1 and 2 in the polls--he's a grad student (Math) down at LSU.
