RemorsefulBruinBabe Enters The Ring. Does She Know What She's Doing?

PrintI wrote about this on my blog, but I thought I'd reshare here as a fan post for those of you who (aka all of you) who don't read my little blog. I don't know anything about this Bracket Tournament thing, or about picking teams or anything like that, but I do know when I like a school's mascot or team name. Or when someone I know has gone to that school. Or when 99% of users have picked a school. So read on, if you want a completely ignorant explanation of who I think is going to win this thing.
Note: I only wrote in detail about MidWest because I didn't realize how many "categories" (divisions? regions?) there were when I started writing, and it took way too long. I don't understand how it works...or why UCLA is in the "East" but Connecticut is in the "West" - seriously, what is that about? Someone please explain!
If you have any questions about my picks in the other "sections," just ask. I'll gladly explain myself. Just know that the answer you get will probably sound something like the justifications you are about to read. Think you can guess why I picked certain schools over others? Leave your guesses in the comments...
After the break are my picks, and my reasons for picking. Enjoy!
First Round (taking place March 20):
- Louisville Cardinals vs. AL. St./Morehead St. - I choose Louisville Cardinals because I don't understand the AL St./Morehead St. thing (do they still not know which team is going to play?), and because my little sister played for a T-ball team called the Cardinals when she was little.
- Ohio St. Buckeyes vs. Siena Saints - I choose Siena Saints because my little "niece" is named Sienna, and because I don't really care about the Buckeyes.
- Utah Utes vs. Arizona Wildcats - I choose the Utes because I like saying it. Utes! Go Utes! Uterriffic!
- Wake Forest Demon Deacons vs. Cleveland St. Vikings - I choose the Vikings, mostly because the description on Yahoo says "Pillage, plunder, steal - that's what the Vikings do best." And I thought it was funny. Also, my friend's dad is a Deacon (a real one), and I don't think he would appreciate a team that associated Deacons with Demons. Even if the two words do *sort of* rhyme (...with a great deal of artistic license).
- West Virgina Mountaineers vs. Dayton Flyers - I choose the Mountaineers. The Flyers' description says they are "defensively lopsided" - that doesn't sound good. I'm picturing a bunch of guys hopping up and down the court with one leg shorter than the other...
- Kansas Jayhawks vs. N Dakota St. Bison - I choose the Kansas Jayhawks because their mascot is awesome. What a funny little bird!
- Boston Coll. Eagles vs. U$C Trojans - I choose Boston College! Even if U$C is good at basketball, I just can't root for the Trojans. Plus, Becka and Josh went to Boston College, so I root for them whenever I can.
- Michigan St. Spartans vs. Robert Morris Colonials - I choose the Spartans because the Spartans were my junior high school mascot. Also because "Robert Morris Colonials" is a really awkward name for a team.
Second Round (March 22):
- Louisville vs. Siena: I choose the Louisville Cardinals because of this line in the description: "To use a horse racing analogy, the Cardinals are brimming with defensive Seabiscuits." Nice!
- Utes vs. Vikings: I choose the Utes, because like I said, I want to yell "Utes! Utes! Utes!" at some point. Also because their description says that "Australian import and Mountain West Player of the Year, Luke Neville, has feasted on opponents like a Great White Shark does chum." And y'all know that Great White Sharks feast on chum hardcore!
- Mountaineers vs. Jayhawks: I choose the Jayhawks, because I still like that little bird they have as their mascot.
- Eagles vs. Spartans: I choose the Eagles, again, because I like rooting for Boston College. They're really the only team besides Cal that I hear about on a consistent basis, and are therefore the only other team I have any information about.
Semifinals (March 27):
- Louisville vs. Utah: I choose Louisville because 99% of users picked Louisville and those are intimidating stats. Sorry, Utes.
- Boston College vs. Kansas: I choose Boston College for loyalty's sake, even though only 6% of users pick it. Sorry, Jayhawk, you're cute, but you're no Eagle.
Finals (March 29):
- Boston College vs. Louisville: Why not? I'm going to choose Boston College. Their description says that "the wildly erratic Eagles have taken their fans on a metaphorical bungie jump," and I'm going to hope that they bungie jump to victory! Yeah, only 1% of users pick them, yeah, they may not make it to the end, but what the heck? I'm picking them! On the pure basis that they are the only school in the tournament that I know anything about! Go BC! Go Eagles! Go me!
So there you have it. I clearly know what I'm doing, and obviously have high hopes for my tournament picks. Think I'll win the Bracket Challenge?

Ugh, this pisses me off
Because I know that my hours of meticulous research will lose to the aforementioned method.
Last year, I watched tons of games, researched in-depth on each team and their players, matched up strengths against weaknesses, followed historical trends, meditated for a while… and I had one of the worst brackets of any of my friends. For the record, most of the ones who won simply picked the higher number.
JAI HO!
Last year, I went to Yahoo! and clicked “Top Seeds” and then hit finish. I got like 3rd place.

Not in 2006. That was my best bracket of any year (when UCLA made its first F4). I think the ONLY first round game I didn’t pick right was Cal losing to NCState. I haven’t come close to repeating a performance like that since.

Still nobody has explained...
…how the regional breakdown works. For example, UCLA is in the “East” and Connecticut is in the “West” – U$C is in the “Midwest” and Arizona St. is in the “South” – how does that work?
Seriously, I have no idea.
by RemorsefulBruinBabe on Mar 17, 2009 1:36 PM PDT reply actions
Usually the team with the higher seeds (1, 2, 3, 4) are given first round matchups close to home so they can travel less. Teams lower down the rungs have to generally travel the most.
by Avinash Kunnath on Mar 17, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions
ohhhhhh If you had asked me how they do matchups, I would have said it’s geographically-based in the first round and then the winners from each geographical location go on to compete in higher levels (and other regions), like they all end up in a random location or something. Although, I suppose that’s what happens all year long within the conferences, right? ie: when March Madness comes around, the teams with higher seeds in Pac-10 compete with the teams with the higher teams in the Big 10 or whatever, and whomever had the higher of the high seed plays closer to home? Maybe? There should be a Women’s Huddle for basketball.
by RemorsefulBruinBabe on Mar 17, 2009 1:45 PM PDT up reply actions
the regional names refer mostly to the location of the regional finals (i.e., the west final is in Arizona). beyond that, it’s pretty much just a name. you could say Cal is in the ‘Foo’ region, and UCLA is in the ‘Bar’ region. it would be just as descriptive.
So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

Well, his evaluation from espn says that he
" is a great looking player on the hoof and has some real skills and upside as a deep threat because of his size and deceptive speed and he can also create mismatch problems in the redzone. He is well built with good height and long arms."
Hmm good height? Long arms? Great looking player? Why don’t they have a picture of him posted, eh? He’s no Leon Powe, that’s for sure. I’m guessing. (note: there is a picture of him up here)
Ultimately, I think he chose Oregon because he’s from Walnut Creek and wanted to get a little further from home. Diante means “free bird” in some ancient language, and this bird needed to fly!
