Durty Bracket Update

After the first day of play in the first annual Durty Bracket our top 3 are:

Nigerian Nightmare
M Madness = Baseball is here
Soon to be Mrs. Webb

Of course the person in second place is somebody I don't know, and third place is the only woman we have in 38 brackets!

So here is what happened to allow this. Everyone I know who did this bracket is an Illinois fan except for my Brother in law and Webb's soon to be wife.(there are a few people I don't know) The reason that RD is in first place right now is because he is the only one out of us who had the balls to pick Western Kentucky. Either that or he is a traitor, I am shockingly in a good mood right now, so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. However RD is now 1:42 away from having West Virgina destroy his bracket. Sorry buddy, hope you enjoyed your time at #1.

Same goes for M Madness, I hope you did not have WVU in the Elite 8 in all of your brackets, cuz they just screwed you. For the record, I was telling people lastnight that I didn't believe that WVU was that great, because they really didn't win any big games. They were like Illinois, beat the teams they should have beat, and lost to teams they should have lost to.

Cara being the only woman would have won this challenge except for one simple fact: We are not playing for money. If this was worth anything over 100 dollars then Cara would have been the runaway Vegas favorite to win. Sorry Cara, but you aren't gonna win this one.

Here are a few of the sexy picks that people have made that screwed them:

Illinois over WKU - obviously we are all stupid, and everyone else in the country is smart, because Illinois grads, Barack Obama, and Erin Andrews are the only people who picked Illinois.

Utah State over Marquette - A lot of people not only had this game picked, but also had Utah State making it to Sweet Sixteen. This is absolutely shocking to me. Although I guess everyone else must not share my blinding hatred for the entire state of Utah. The only part of Utah that I like is the spot where Deron Williams is at any given time. The rest of the state can suck it.

WVU over Dayton - Everyone picked this game and J Dani is done, because he had them in his Final Four. He also picked Utah State in the Sweet Sixteen, so he is doubly screwed. Sorry Buddy.

Clemson over Michigan - I loved Clemson in the second game of the weekend, just like I love Mizzou on the second game of the weekend. It is really hard for a team to prepare for their pressure in just one day. However in order to do this, you have to win your first game. Screw you Clemson!

Here are some random thoughts on the first day:

- Nobody is covering any spreads. Except for Carolina and UCONN winning by a collective 2000 points yesterday.

- I cannot watch sporting events with people I don't know.

- To go along with the last thought, Don't cheer for your bracket. I had to sit through listening to the most annoying Asian girl that god has created. She was living and dying with every Villinova shot. We get it moron, you picked Nova in the office pool at the DMV that you work at, but guess what? It was a god damn #3 vs #14 game. The entire country picked Villanova, you idiot. Did she think that the reason that the other 450 people in the bar were cheering for American was because we all happened to go to school there? Or somehow she magically unlocked the code of picking bracket winners by figuring out that the numbers by the name we seeds? I wanted to punch her boyfriend in the face for 1) dating her and 2) allowing this to even occur.

- If you have a friend that knows how emotionally invested in you are in a team, and he can't wait for the second that your team loses so he can rub it in your face, is he really a friend? I don't get this. Everybody has been destroyed after a loss before, so why would you enjoy kicking a buddy in the nuts when he is already down? This of course does not apply to Duke/Notre Dame/Yankees/Frontrunner fans, these people you can mock until doomsday.

- I really hope that somebody I don't know wins our bracket. I don't think I can handle somebody I know winning, because I like to think that I have more college basketball knowledge than most of you. God help me if my brother in law or Yerko wins, I will never hear the end of it.
