NCAA

My NCAA Tourney as per usual, from the Ghost of Brackets Past:

And now the craziness begins ie who got in, who didn't get in, the seeding etc. As I speak Mad Dog's heart is seizing as he peels Mike's oiled hair back, screaming. Every year, I study the brackets like they're the Dead Sea Scrolls; upon completion, EVERY SINGLE TIME I look at my picks and honestly think "...you know what...I don't see a wrong pick here..." and I try to stuff in as many ACC teams into the Final Four as possible. Which, I guess, would be by definition...four. And, of course, by the end of Day 1 my bracket sheet is hurled in the garbage, wrong wrong wrong, and I swear the next year I'm gonna pick by uniforms a la Dwayne picking football teams on their helmets.

What does drive me crazy though...dudes filling out more than one bracket. Gutless. They fill out their "real" one, then fill out another one with their "upsets." Their wacky bracket! So that when a 15 does beat a 2 they can crow abut it, cause it was on one of their 192 bracket sheets they filled out. Fuck that. Me? As 8-Mile once said, you only get one shot (shout out to Medium G.) So here's my one bracket for all to see.

This year, I am so pathetically out of touch with college ball I can't even in good consciencse pretend to fill out a bracket. I'm such a douchebag that I don't even want a Duke/UNLV final, I want a 1991 Duke/UNLV Final Four final game. If that makes sense.


But fuck it, I will pick Syracuse as my team to root for this year. I've always loved Boeheim, who will surely set the record for "Most Games Won by a Coach without Anyone Noticing." Those Pearl Teams were some of me & Brothatime!!'s favorite teams. So fuck it. 'Cuse by 11 in the Final.
