Good omen?

Posted: 3/12/2012 12:52:58 PM

On Yahoo's bracket page it lets you auto-fill a bracket randomly... Just for kicks, I clicked it to see what it would give me on one try.

Yes, it picked us as National Champs.

Not only that:
What you can barely see... Our matchup in the Final Four is Ohio State.
What you can't even see... Our matchup in the Elite Eight is Georgetown.

This means absolutely nothing, but it's pretty crazy for just one randomized bracket to come up like this!

I've seen crazier things happen.

Glad Norfolk State didn't get past ND.

That is pretty wild...or is it just more proof of Big Brother watching?

A dream bracket for someone whose 3 favorite teams are, in order, Ohio University, Notre Dame, whoever's playing osu inc. May I suggest we just cancel the tournament and go by this bracket?

Crazier things have happened in this world. I can't think of any, but I'm sure they have.

ROFL!!! Good one, Brian! And, you know it would happen. First post by Alan Swank, followed quickly by Monroe saying:

They may have announced 70,000, but there were 65,000 butts in seats, tops.

They haven't happened. Can you imagine if Kentucky loses its first game? Can you imagine all the brackets that go in the trash?

I believe it is more likely OHIO wins the national title rather than UK losing its first game.

On a personal note, I have filled out more than a dozen brackets since last night - some paid, many freebies - but every single one I have OHIO going to Sweet 16. I am sure there is some bias there, but I actually like the matchups.

However, I have OHIO losing every time to UNC in the Sweet 16 - except once, when Creighton upsets UNC and OHIO then falls to Kansas in the Elite Eight.

However, just like the bracket above - now of it really matters.

Just exciting to have the Bobcats involved.

Sorry, should have specified how firmly in my cheek my tongue was planted on that comment. That being said, has anyone checked the prop bets? I'm curious to know the payout on Kentucky losing in the first round. 1,000:1? 10,000:1? 1,000,000:1?

Too early, Ted. We're waiting for the "overreact to the Michigan win thread"!

If Tom Izzo retires, will there be a TOS to Michigan thread?

I've seen crazier things happen.
