Final Four weekend is here. Here are the teams, first game on left, second game on the right, visiting team listed first (as per convention) and home team second. The pattern also picks my winner of the entire thing on Monday night.
Georgetown Hoyas vs
Ohio State Buckeyes, then
UCLA Bruins vs
Florida Gators.
See the pattern yet? Let's rearrange the names.

Its quite simple: Ben has discovered a new "Bible Code" that disctates fundamental truths about the universe.... The Code indicates
1. Go UF: A desire to see the University of Florida win
2. Eh Cl: A profound ennui regarding chlorine (obviously, we need to cut down on salt consumption)
3. Oi Lo: Jennifer Lopez destined to embrace Street Punk
...
Its blindingly obvious

When you list two teams playing each other, the "convention" is to list the visiting team first, the home team second. For the NCAA final four, the game is played on a neutral court, but this year, the teams from the Midwest Regional (Florida) and the South Regional (Ohio State) are the "home teams." Also the first game to be played was
Georgetown vs
Ohio State
and the second game was
UCLA versus
Florida
No big deal there. But when you take the first letters of each team in the proper order, leaving a space between the games, you get GO UF. Florida is not Florida University, it is University of Florida, or UF, while the word "go" is go. So it spells out GO UF. It is like a joke or something... and it worked yesterday.
