CraigM wins. Mainly because nobody else tried.
Enjoy your game @CraigM!

Well in NC we have Duke at #2 (I’m not a fan) and UNC at #8 (I am a huge fan.) I know those are the usual suspects, but growing up here means every kid has to pick a basketball team to pull for. Households and families are sometimes spit and have huge rivalries based on which NCAA team they like. And any sports bar here in NC on a Duke vs UNC ballgame night is a very loud, rowdy and dangerous place to be if you talk trash.
I’m ready for the tourney but I do think we need a bracket for QT3.

Ha, you go for it.
I’d be like @ArmandoPenblade, picking teams because I like the city, local food, or state better. I’d be reall town if the university of Colorado went up against a PNW team though.
You didn’t say it had to be baseball, and the Super Bowl is I suppose a one game series, so technically I believe one of these could be Joe Namath for the AFL Jets in 1969.
Skip the difference being you NC teams (even Davidson) have such a great Basketball heritage --while us UT Vols (aside from us woman BB) do not. We are very excited to see the Vols at #1! I have season tickets which I don’t use very much but I am getting over there more and more!
17 games in a row!
(I wish my Vikings had 17 games in a row) (or 19)

Oh I understand completely, it looks like you guys have never gotten to the final four. Here’s hoping you guys pull out a tourney win.

I just remembered this while talking with a friend of mine who was telling me they lost almost every game they bet on last season.
So, no Loser Bowl this year? Too bad. I stick with my Patriots for yet another Super Bowl! Did ya hear? We have Antonio Brown now! And Josh Gordon is back. Defenses don’t have a chance!
Sorry, guys - dealing with some home-stuff that’s sadly/frustratingly keeping me bogged down.

No worries Dan. Sorry to hear, and I hope everything works out well for you!
