Wednesday was all about prepping for the Big Dance in the Dime office. Final brackets were turned in for the office pool, and we had our annual NCAA Top Gun fantasy draft. Eight teams, five players per team. You can read the rules right here. We had to stomach an oppressively hot and stuffy conference room (weird weather in NYC today) and the fact one of our guys was taking longer to make his picks than the Minnesota Vikings, but we got it done.
