but we aren't a Top 25 team...

Interestingly, I CTRL F'd both pages, searched "Indiana" and received ZERO matches. Shocking - I thought that the presence of Zeller and the "knowledge" of the '12 SuperClass would be enough to get them into the field. It's possible that maybe, just maybe they were taking coaching into account.

What?

But this is Indiana! They have banners on the wall!

I used to have an Aussie flag on the wall!

But it never made me an Aussie. Hoosiers are as deluded as I am, it seems.

didn't work?

try drinking Fosters? fake accent? Nothing? I mean, the flag hanging there should be enough of an indication that one day (likely very very soon), you will be an Aussie.

Here we go! I got it! You need to talk about the Aussie flag more. Throw it in people’s faces. OH! and get more of them. Like 4 or 5 total. yeah five sounds good. And when people give you shit about not being Aussie, then you can be all, “Oh YEAH!?! Look at those – five Aussie flags! And YOU have NONE! So now who’s not Australian?”

You are so gonna be Australian.

If you really want it to work...

you need to move somewhere that has 5 Australian flags already.

Great...

maybe we can lose in the 16 to the eventual champ again.

Oh no, that'd mean the eventual champ is Duke...

according to his bracket.

Or maybe Texas (if it can pull off a 8-seed over 1-seed upset)

He just drops Texas from a #1-seed to a #8-seed

…just shows how unreliable the seeding is.

I dunno why he even wastes time to come up with a bracket in May. Out of 68 names I’d be surprised if he gets even 3 correct. FWIW, looking back at his bracket in November of last year, he had the eventual champ UConn as a 12-seed. I just don’t see any value of his bracket unless it is at least late Feb or Mar when it at least has a little correlation with the actual bracket.

by charlespig on May 12, 2011 11:46 AM EDT reply actions

he's got a lotta time on his hands

and it’s not as if the ones he makes in Feb / March are all that much more accurate to what actually happens…..

But really…. nothing but time to kill. The doctor says to get on the treadmill more often, but really – you and I know, he ain’t gettin on the treadmill. So he makes some more brackets.
