Submit 1 bracket or 25! Be an ultimate homer or sell your team down the river. Or both! Anything goes!

Not sure if the above link is doing some funny business. Seemed to be forcing me to select a bracket to add. So this link i think? is direct to our group with less of a pressure sale.

Or maybe not.. i dunno. Stupid espn. You can hit cancel to just look at the brackets in our group i think.

Had one bracket picked with the heart with KU beating Wisconsin! KU over UCONN in the regional final which actually would be a very interesting elite 8 matchup. The other picked with the brain had Auburn over Houston.

Our numbers of brackets are down this year predictably.

If you are on the fence, get a bracket or two in? I have yet to complete my homer bracket.

I'm in

I got 4 in, two legit brackets, a homer bracket, and an AI generated one based on if the mascots fought in real life.

@Texas-Hawk-10 love it

My favorite match up in the AI animal fight bracket was Akron and Baylor. Akron uses a kangaroo as their mascot so asking Gemini who would win a fight between a kangaroo and bear was fun.

Alabama did end up winning overall in that bracket because it's an elephant. Also, an elephant vs. a grizzly was a good one too.

Jeez, my bracket lacked enthusiasm this year. Lost a million matchups already.

Toast.

@rockchalkjayhawk I feel like I won by not filling one out for the first time since 1998. On to other pursuits as this form of entertainment didn’t work out this year. I am personally enjoying the NFL offseason. Lots of bs storylines that will dissolve once the pads are on. What will my favorite team do with their 15mil in cap space? Ooh I’m on pins and needles. lol it’s not the tournament with KU in it, but I’m having fun distracting myself from things that matter (real life____fill in your own stuff I’m sure it’s worse than a losing a game, if not count yourself blessed ) sports are fun! …less so when you lose, but sure beats the hell out of everything else that’s going on. So I’m looking forward to KU’s offseason and the speculation of how the season will turn out. I hope it’s not an other preseason #1 ranking, but rather something more reasonable with room to grow.

1 after day 1. Never been in such rarified air! 2 wrong. My heart bracket has broke my heart already!

Credit where it's due, didn't actually open our group and Beddie is in there with me and realistic homer as well.

Mar 21, 2025 04:46 PM #17

Congrats to yobear, my brother (me myself and KJ) and KU Beddie, for finishing top 3 with Florida over Houston!
