Would be an easier bracket to fill I think. Have all the 16s in your final four and call it a day

Or as I call it, Pub's bracket

Half serious.

Obviously everyone would pick the 16 seeds in the final four, but then there's the little nuances that would make it interesting, such as this year with the guaranteed Sweet 16 spot for a 12 or 13 seed. We should try it next year :sports

[Pentegarn]

If I remember, I'll set up a second one for that next year

[WhiteRat]

Just make a rule that no one can pick a 16 and maybe only pick two 15s or something. It would be fun to see if it would work.

[Pentegarn]

In any case the whole game would be decided by the end of round one

And OSU is giving me ulcers tonight

[Pentegarn]

Fucking Kentucky

[WhiteRat]

Now that all of my Final Four teams are no longer in the tournement, I will gracefully bow out of the 4th annual I-Mockery Bracket Bunch.

This year is an even bigger slap in the face than years past as I felt I did pretty damn well in the first two rounds. I honestly thought I had a shot at winning the prestigious honor of I-Mockery Basketball Prediction King (Collegiate Edition).

At least I can still cling on to my historic victory back in 2002 when my winning bracket netted me 250 big ones in a pool at my dad's work. After 9 years it still carries weight, right? Right?

Now if you'll excuse me i'll be recovering in the burn ward for the next year.

[Esuohlim]

It's interesting how I'm suddenly back in the game

EDIT: Nevermind, Flagg and whoever maildude is has UNC in the Final Four too. Can't win

Rooting for the Colonel in this one because he's got a PhD and that's awesome and I don't know who maildude is

[Colonel Flagg]

Hard to believe, Harry.

[Pentegarn]

This is officially the worst I have ever done on the brackets.

I wasn't even being a homer when I picked OSU in the finals, I figured they would actually bother to show up for yesterday's game

[Esuohlim]

Way to represent the Big Ten OSU

[Babs]

Very good game between OSU and Kentucky. Diebler hit a very clutch 3 and Knight just realized how much time him and his wildcats had and hit a shot with 5.1 seconds left. Good news for Buckeyes fans, at least Sully is coming back.

[Esuohlim]

jesus christ Butler

[Tadao]

No matter what happens I'm dead last. Where's my trophy?

[Colonel Flagg]

Butler deserves the Final Four after that victory over Florida. What a comeback.

[Pentegarn]

I regret not realizing Butler is a lumbering Juggernaut sooner. I might have still had a horse in this game

[Colonel Flagg]

Lumbering Juggernaut? Butler? No, my friend you were obviously thinking instead about VCU. Bitches ruined my hopes of winning this thing two years in a row.

[Esuohlim]

At this moment I have the highest possible points? How the hell did that happen?

BACK IN THE GAME

[Esuohlim]

Spoke too soon

CONGRATULATIONS WILLIE

And congrats Babs and Pentegarn, you were the only two to pick a correct Final Four team

[Pentegarn]

This is only the second time a final four had no number 1 seeds. Last time was 2006, another fucked up year where George Mason (another 11) made it to the final four

VCU's success is entirely due to their coach. He is selling a bunch of tier 2/tier 3 talent that they are blue chippers and they are buying it and producing like blue chippers. The only person who thought VCU would do this was the VCU head coach

[Colonel Flagg]

So, that was Willie who won? Congratulations, big guy. You sure showed us!

Isn't this the earliest the bracketbunch was completely decided (no one has any more possible points to achieve)? And the lowest winning score (61 points)?

Does it really matter? This is the first time in history that a team that had to play itself into the tournament won even one game, let alone make the Final Four.

I don't care what he's feeding that team, I want some. Maybe it's some of that new drug, charliesheen.

Winning.

[Babs]

All thanks goes to Kemba Walker and company.
