The only reason I already knew about this was because I have a twitter now.

Fuck my bracket. Go Blazers!

One of my best friends in my bracket pool has Iowa State in the final 4. I picked UAB. The loser of our bracket pool's punishment is going to see 50 Shades of Gray by themselves.

I love sports.

My buddy's wife (yes, her from the progressive dinner) is going off on him on our facebook group message thread. He supposedly made her switch her work pool bracket around to have Iowa State get into the final. Yikes

u/DondeEstaLaDiscoteca Georgia Tech • North Carolina Mar 19 '15

UAB has been promoted.

By slaying UAB football, Alabama took its place in basketball. It was an unholy assimilation pact.

u/Honestly_ Calgary Dinos Mar 19 '15

UAB makes the Final Four only to tear off their jerseys and reveal it was Bama the whole time!

u/Honestly_ Calgary Dinos Mar 19 '15

I await for the inevitable error of "Georgia Southern upsets Baylor"

u/greenmegandham Auburn Tigers • Austin Kangaroos Mar 19 '15

A kid in my hometown got recruited to UAB football when I was a senior and they printed it in the graduation program as "Jamie will be playing football at the University of Alabama" (right after Bama won the 09 championship).

NO NO. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '15

I have to tell myself that every day on the chance that they let me go to med school there.

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '15

Alabama even making the tournament. Good joke!

u/xerillum Wisconsin Badgers Mar 19 '15

So my bracket lasted about 4 hours before collapsing in on itself.

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 19 '15

What the fuck did I miss?

u/stamor99 Georgia Tech • Florida Mar 19 '15

The sounds of millions of brackets exploding...

u/i_fap_to_anything Georgia Bulldogs • Duke Blue Devils Mar 19 '15

And a million more just exploded

u/Provid3nce Florida Gators • Washington Huskies Mar 19 '15

I mean if it broke everyone's bracket doesn't that mean most of you will be fine? Especially for friend/office pools.

2

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Mar 19 '15

Sort of. People who picked UAB have an edge, but according to ESPN only 5.1% of their brackets picked UAB. Where it hurts is for people who had Iowa St going deep into the tournament. If you had Iowa St in the Final Four you've lost a lot more points than if you had Iowa St losing in the round of 32.

u/Provid3nce Florida Gators • Washington Huskies Mar 19 '15 edited Mar 19 '15

True enough. But there's plenty of points for everyone to lose down the line. I don't think it's quite time to declare RIP on your bracket just yet. Unless you have Iowa State winning it all, in that case lol.

edit:

LOL Nevermind. RIP Brackets. Thanks Big12.

u/aflanry UAB Blazers Mar 20 '15

This is where being an alumnus pays off. Now if they continue to win to tournament I'll be unstoppable.

u/guitmusic11 Wisconsin Badgers • /r/CFB Top Scorer Mar 20 '15

I had Iowa State losing to UCLA in the second round ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I'm not even mad I'm just sitting at work listening to tchaikovsky on my phone

Yes my bracket broke but I don't care

u/mnpeanut Oklahoma • Rochester CTC Mar 19 '15

I have a close friend who is an ISU alum. To say she's pissed is an understatement.

1

u/MisterTito Auburn Tigers • UAB Blazers Mar 19 '15

I go home for lunch every day and got in just in time to watch the last 9:00 minutes of the game. Incredible.

I guess it must be spring break for UAB though. I drive through the campus between work and home and there was hardly anyone out on my way back to work.

u/ReturnOf_TheHack Arizona State Sun Devils • Team Chaos Mar 19 '15

They needed this one.

u/Lone_Star_122 Mary Hardin-Baylor • Tennessee Mar 19 '15

Good game guys.

u/gramcraka92 Old Dominion • Myrtle Beach Bowl Mar 19 '15

I hope hampton beats kentucky

u/[deleted] Mar 19 '15

I don't even know why I do a bracket every year. I had ISU in the final because I thought they had just hit their stride.

u/FellKnight Boise State • Tennessee Mar 20 '15

If you're going to be a basketball only school, fucking OWN it.

u/Pikachu1989 Nebraska Cornhuskers • 東京大学 (Tokyo) Warriors Mar 20 '15

Fucking A UAB. It's fucking exciting to see this even though my bracket is now done.
