The Otter Sandwich

It’s official: With five games remaining in the Glimm Memorial NCAA Tournaemnt Pool, Diane Otter holds both first place and last place.

In her Olives bracket, Otter (nee Davis) picked six of the Elite Eight winners correctly, then nailed the first two Final Four participants to vault pest Jeremy Berg (Hodor Lives 4) into first place, including Oregon’s upset over Kansas.

If North Carolina and Florida win on Sunday, Otter will be the only Glimmer to pick the Final Four correctly. She’s picked 79.3% of games correctly, tops in The Glimm.

Berg fell all the way to fourth place, behind Joseph DeMichele (Googootz 2) and Patrick Gerrity (gootshot).

What makes Otter’s run all the more remarkable is that she submitted two brackets, and the other is awful. Her mom/olives bracket has already clinched dead last, picking just 12.3% of the games correctly.

The Otter Sandwich has become the Glimm’s best story (not counting 19th century murderers named Alma Glimm). Stay tuned to see if she can make it stand.
