Cancelled Madness

For those of you who participated last year, you probably just got an email inviting you to join again this year for the 654th annual Tigers X March Madness Bracketology contest. If you did not play last year, here is the link to go join now.

I don't know. It doesn't look like a very exciting tournament to me. Out of all the teams in it, I'd have to pick Gonzaga. But, Utah State, Bradley, Winthrop, Liberty, Belmont and North Dakota State really don't do anything for me. What a boring tournament. Plus, there won't be anybody at the games with the Corona's floating around.

In all srsns, I love this time of year. These smaller school and mid-major conference tournaments are badazz and watching those kind of teams punch their ticket is a lot of fun. Unless our Tiggers are winning some games, I don't really care about the Power 5 tournaments. But for the smaller schools, it's like watching 3-4 national championship celebrations every night.

just because you got your ass kicked last season by a more informed picker, does not mean you start making excuses now.
Suck it up and make your sucky picks again this season.

Bring it!

To be the man, you gotta' beat the man. You are wearing out my mouse. Seems that every time I'm in one of these lame ass pick em' contests, I have to scroll and scroll and scroll down towards the bottom to find your name. You're just a fly in the ointment, Hans.

Apparently you sucked so bad last year that you quit looking at the leader board once I blew your doors off.

7th place is no way to go through life son...

I'd like to make the Final Four, win the whole thing and all that. But if by some miraculous fluke that didn't happen?

I'd derive a certain sense of hilarity from seeing Dayton do that. Alabama's fired basketball coach Anthony Grant currently has the Flyers ranked third in the polls and a potential number one seed. I find that amusing.

Ha!!! Revisionist history. 3 years running, I wore the crown. Won the battles but never received the Crown. Buzz, how was that Crown this past season?

Old and feeble minded? This ain't the crown. This is March Madness.

2017 Snags was a lame 3rd
2018 Snags was a lame 6th(unless he claims his wife's win)
2019 Snags was a lame 7th

This season shall be no different.

Prepare to be schooled again.

You're mad! Mad I tell ya'. It doesn't matter what sport the picks are in, domination is the name of my game. It could be Equestrian or Tiddlywinks. Doesn't matter. I will ALWAYS be at the top....of the middle tier....of the lower half of the standings. In fact, I have a t-shirt that says "Captain Mediocrity".

Deal with that!

Will there still be a Tigerwalk if the arena is empty?

Yes. But it will be quiet and introspective.
