What the heck is a Boilermaker anyway?
Even though I've been super busy trying to juggle work with taking care of LMH, I have tried to carve out time in order to finish my picks for this years NCAA March Madness Bracket. I participate in George The Mets Fans' pool and every year, I do two brackets. One is a regular bracket that I try (read: usually pick the #1 seed) to fill out to the best of my ability.
The other is more fun; it is based entirely on the mascots of the competing teams. The basic rule is this: if these two mascots were put into a ring together, who would come out alive? It's harder than you think. Take for example, the matchup between the Michigan St. Spartans and the Robert Morris Colonials. To me, Spartans are way tougher (hello, I did see 300 a whole bunch of times), BUT, the Colonials would probably have early models of guns. However, they probably are the ones you need to pack after shooting once, so maybe that would give the Spartan time to roll in with his sword and cut the Colonials arm off. See how fun it is? I encourage all of you to do the same and fill out a bracket this year based on mascots. At the very least, it makes for great debate.
Don't laugh at my system; I won the entire pool 3 years ago this way...
