It's the time of year. You're not a true American unless you play a bracket.

I need a bracket, any bracket.

Bracket thing never really interested me. Nerds everywhere go bananas over this every year. Even people who don't really care about college basketball.

CINDERELLA!!!1

My bracket is still perfect.

Nerd Fact: Just using that alone puts you in the 70.6 percentile in ESPN's tournament challenge on average.

I hate the NBA but watching college basketball is incredible. They play with so much passion it's really fun to watch. Also, the NCAA bracket is the most fun "playoff" system out of any sport/level. Nobody in the NBA plays with passion or gives it their all every play of every game. Only the finals are bearable to watch.

I understand people not liking basketball, but I'm surprised you like baseball (according to your avatar). That is the most boring sport out there. I used to watch either baseball or QVC to fall asleep at night when I was a kid.

I guess hating baseball is very un-American of me though.

I'm feeling the first 1/16 upset today.

i played baseball from a very young age until my 30s. Nothing too serious after H's but was recruited for some small schools. I don't watch many full games of baseball anymore. I also played basketball throughout school. I just don't like it anymore...which is odd since I used to love it.

Not doing one this year and it feels so good.

My hope is that it helps cut off all stupid bracket talk with people before they feel the need to tell me how ####ty their bracket is. In theory, the whole conversation ends with my answer to "so, how's your bracket doing?"

Of course, people only ask that stupid question because they want a chance to tell you about theirs, so I won't work all the time. It should help though.

Sort of like how not watch the Bachelor should help you not have to talk about the Bachelor with people (and the NCAA Tourney is of course the The Bachelor of the sports world).

At least it requires more thought than putting your name in a little square.

UPDATE: NOT ANYMORE

Dayton to the sweet 16 still looking good

 

[False Start]

American scoring 13 points in the second half and losing by 40 is beyond pathetic after having a 9 point lead at one point of 19-10. Some sad teams in the tournament for sure.

Well that's good. Btw your discussion on this stuff in the other thread was pretty cool, made me see things in a totally different way, well done.
