Welcome back to March, everyone. It’s college basketball fans’ favorite month of the year as March Madness returns to its glorious form.
Brackets will be busted, tears will be shed and friendships may be destroyed, but it’s all in good fun for both the diehard and casual fans. Even those who have no interest in college basketball tend to mark their calendars for Selection Sunday — the day in which they can “Cook Up A Winning Bracket” (Arizona).
Every year, fans return with great anticipation for the NCAA Tournament only to be embarrassed on the first day by a 14-seed knocking out your champion. Eleven months of waiting, planning and studying goes down the drain to a team you’ve probably never heard of — fun.
Odds are that you won’t pick a national champion or win your bracket group, even if you follow college hoops year-round or a genie “Grants You Three Wishes” (Dayton/Utah State). Why waste the effort on filling out a bracket if you’ll probably end up losing to your uncle who hasn’t watched college basketball since the 1990s?
Instead, win your bracket group with the best bracket name. Creativity knows no bounds, and this is your chance to get “A Legg Up” (Charleston) on your friends, family or even strangers in public groups.
Hopefully, by the end of March, you’ve wept “Sears Of Joy” (Alabama) because you’ve done “Nunn But Winning” (Baylor) and went “Zags To Riches” (Gonzaga). But let’s be honest, that won’t happen. You’ll instead be wondering “Watt Went Wrong With My Bracket” (Oakland/Washington State) after you said you “Krafted The Winning Bracket” (South Dakota State).
Just “Don’t Be A Cryer” (Houston) when it all comes tumbling down. At least you’ll be “The Talk Of The Townsend” (BYU) with your bracket name.
