All right, what's up? Welcome back episode 149 of Chaotically Intolerant. We have a big, I guess, first appearance, first video appearance. Dan Campbell, head coach of the Detroit Lions, has joined the show. Was that the worst thing of all time when he got the head coaching job for you? So I remember like way back in the day when he played for the Lions, I heard it here and there, you know, he obviously wasn't a huge, huge name at tight end back in the day, but.

Remember hearing murmuring, somebody got hired, obviously just kind of exploded. But you know, I'm a huge fan, man. Who doesn't love Dan Campbell, let us say Dan Campbell. It's, uh, he's fun to watch, fun to listen to. So I don't mind it. If you've been paying attention to the blogs, if you're on our email list, you've seen, he writes stories. He's somewhat of a nerd, somewhat of not a nerd, somewhat dumb. I'm very much on the dumb side. You kind of balance, actually it's going to be perfect because Michael is, is on the full nerd side.

nerd, I would say side and you're going to be right in the middle. We might put you in the middle on the podcast just because it fits. Right on. Nice. Nice. I guess just give us a little about yourself if people haven't seen his bio on the website.

Yeah, yeah. So originally from about an hour outside of Pittsburgh, a small town called Stoneboro, a little country town, you know, less than less than a thousand people relocated to Providence, Rhode Island, which is where I'm at right now. I have a background in some some data analytics. So it was only natural I paired kind of the data and stats side with my my love of sports, which has been a lifelong thing. I've always been an absolute sports nerd maniac, you know, unhealthy obsession.

Um, so I kind of just paired those both things and, um, you know, got to put in some, some words on a page and, and here we are writing for a chaotically intolerant and, and love it. I would say probably our top writer right now. Definitely, definitely the top writer. I mean, no shade to John or, uh, Saffrino. I still don't know how to pronounce his name correctly. Um, no shade to them, but you, you're definitely pumping, you're definitely pumping out the content for us. So if you want to check out his writing, it's awesome. It does a great job. It's also a long, you know,

When I try and write, sometimes I just get bored. I'm sure people get bored reading stories too. I'm giving it a shot. 21st century attention span. The blog, I was like, I want to have the blog for something, but I was like, I just don't have the time to, I do all this other stuff. I just don't have the time to write. So. Hey, I'm glad to contribute. And any of the listeners, if you want to write, just reach out to us, info at ChaoticallyIntelligent .com. We can maybe, maybe do something for you.

But it's March Madness, which my biggest gripe with March Madness is we're starting now. What the fuck? It is that we are well into March. The madness is, I've always wondered that too, you know, it's March Madness, March rolls around like, all right, where are the games at? You know, let's get this thing rolling. I need something to fill ever since football stops. I need that excitement.

the chaos all that some of the fill in their family like the about the government conference title the conference term and should start early march that's really when the madness starts yet because those big you know there's some right lower teams are pushing for bids which i know tom is always upset about that today doesn't want lower -seed only guys saw that rose the come on man yeah i come on it i don't even know he's gonna end up with like me

go sit on the bench with like Roy Williams, you know, if the games, if the game's going in a way that you don't appreciate, don't win a part of, which we're seeing that in the college football game too. I mean, I think it's why Saban with Nell and transfers decided, okay, you know, I'm not really appreciating where it's going. I'm going to sit this one out. So, you know, he can, he can sit on the sideline with those folks and leave everyone else to, to keep the same role. I actually, so I somewhat had like,

Like Saban got attacked for what he said at Congress. And I was like, you know, some of it, like, it kind of makes sense. Like, I think people are thinking he's just like, oh, just do away with it all. I don't think that's what he thinks at all. I think he's like, there needs to be some sort of regulation on this because it is getting insane where these kids are ruining their careers to go and thinking they're going to get more money and then they don't. And then like we're losing out on really good football talent because they're going to lower tier schools.

Oh, without a doubt. I mean, they're being taken advantage of in some situations, for sure. I don't think Saban's the guy that's gonna, he's gonna sit there and just sort of throw some baseless information without thinking it through and considering all things in the game. But yeah, there's definitely some kids being taken advantage of. Mike, meet Dan Campbell, one of our writers for the show. Mike has his own website, draftamerica .com.

Pretty credo, he does a lot of different football and baseball stuff mainly, right Mike? Yeah. Yeah. So we're talking tournament tonight is... Well, yeah, we were talking about like NIL and stuff like that, but we are going to jump into building a bracket because I don't have a bracket. So I'm going to let you guys build my bracket. Oh, geez. I'm going to defy more than Dan. I know a little bit. I'm more...

coming at it from the historic angle of the trends and what's happened in the past more so than what's actually happened out there on the court this year. I know Purdue is - Yeah, you got a couple of football guys, Alex, building this bracket for you. Purdue, historic choke. I know UConn's really, really good. I know somebody picked Florida to have a darling run because they're a seven seed. And -

St. Peter's is there, that's pretty cool. Yeah, there are 15 of I remember them. Two years ago. Yeah. But let's just jump into it. I think that's the easiest way. Let me share my screen so we can all get a look at it. But again, I have a big gripe with the fact that March Madness doesn't start March 1st. That's just gross. It doesn't make any sense. False advertising.

It's still in March, but you know, we won't bring madness is really what it is Yeah, all right true, you can't Stetson Stetson a few hours outside of my home my hometown Sarasota, Florida But I don't I don't think they're getting this. I think it's pretty safe to say you can Yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah FAU Northwestern the eight and nine. These are usually toss -ups, right? I've I

I have no clue about this one. You guys can cook on this. All right, Dan. So I kind of like Northwestern here. They have a couple big wins this year. They beat Michigan State and I believe Illinois. And like you said, I mean, these games are pretty big toss -ups from those eight and nine. They're usually pretty competitive. But you know, I'm just, I'm going to flip Northwestern.

I don't know if it just sounded good or what research I did there, but I'm going to go with Northwestern here. What do you think? Yeah, like all this expectation now going on at FAU after their run last year. And a lot of people felt like USF should have gotten in instead of FAU. Yeah. So yeah, give me Northwestern just to sort of buck that trend of all that magic last year. Just FAU hasn't, they haven't lived up to their billing this year.

FAU, gorgeous campus. I was there on Thursday. Gorgeous campus. The Cardinals and Marlin Stadium, literally right across the street from the campus. Everywhere's walkable. Jupiter, great city. Great city. San Diego State and UAB. Well, we're just talking about, you know, another Final Four team from last year, the runner -up.

San Diego State and UAB had a nice tournament run. I 512s are sort of tricky, right? Like in the past, I feel like there's been a lot fewer 512 upsets in recent years than we'd seen for a while. I don't know. I still think San Diego State has the experience. I would lean towards them. I mean, it wouldn't shock me if UAB pulled the upset. I'd probably go SDSU. I agree.

I'll, yeah, I agree too. I'll be your guys's tiebreaker if you guys have a discrepancy. Before Auburn at 13 Yale. Little Ivy League action. So my dad went to Brown. I was actually watching the very end of that game and it was heartbreaking. Brown just could not hit a couple free throws that it needed to put that game away.

Yale's lucky to survive that, you know, almost losing to Brown. I mean, could they win, Sharon? I'm actually in Providence right now. I just walked through Brown yesterday. Oh, I've never actually been on the campus. Beautiful campus, of course. Historic, prestigious. It's a very cool campus to walk through. Oh, Well, I'm mad that they're not in it. So out of just sheer disgust, I'm going to take all of them.

Auburn looks like one of those teams that can make me again. Remember 2019 they were Final Four team with Bruce Pearl. I like Auburn. Yeah. I do too. I don't trust Ivy League sports whatsoever. So. They're big brains, athletic ability. It throws them off. It throws off their balance, whatever you need. Your brain is too big. You can't have too big of a brain to be a sports fan or an athlete.

BYU, Zach Wilson, alum of BYU. What the fuck is that? Du -nesque? Duquesque? Duquesne, man. Duquesne. Hey, put some respect on that name, man. That's Pittsburgh. That's a Pittsburgh college. That really makes sense that it's spelled Duquesne. Duquesne. Duquesne. Duquesne. Yeah.

I wanted to pick Duquesne so bad here, just straight up bias. But first I had them when I filled my bracket the first time, then I looked at it and I'm like, all right, don't let your heart choose here. I think BYU has that game. Yeah, yeah, Duquesne. I don't know. I mean, I'd love to pick Duquesne, but probably don't. Yeah. Probably don't. They kind of sound like a team that would go on a run, you know? Like you're like, remember Duquesne in 2024?

Like that, you know, five years down the line, you're like, that run was amazing. But I know I'm so tired of that. I bet that George Mason's. Illinois, Morehead State. Well, the immature brain wants to pick Morehead State. But Illinois is pretty, they have a chance to actually go on a run, I think. I think this is actually the deepest bracket of the four. You know.

especially the overall one seed and then you've got a really good two, three, four. So yeah, I think Illinois. Yeah, Sam. Really wish I could pick Morehead. Great name. Great name. Washington State and Drake.

Oh, well, actually, my cousin graduated from Drake. So I've actually been on that campus and made a nice little run. I don't know. I didn't know Washington State was good at basketball. I feel we need to throw it out like a quote unquote upset in here or a lower seed. So I think I got to go to Drake. Drake and Josh said a sad documentary if anyone hears.

You know, anyone listening hasn't checked it out yet. My sister actually dated Josh for a little bit. Funny story. Josh Peck? Yeah, Josh Peck. Long time ago in LA. He's the good one, right? Was he like bigger or was he smaller? No, no, he was normal like he is now. So I never met him, though. I never got to meet him. But I know that he's better than the other guy who's gotten into some trouble.

Well, I think it's flipped now because I guess Josh, I don't know. I don't want to get into it. They're all rumors, but apparently he was more, he was like defending Nickelodeon and all this other side of that stuff. So Drake is now like, it's all flipped within like a few days because of this documentary. So I don't really know. I know I watched Drake and Josh. I love Drake and Josh. Great show. I don't know if that was your, well, Dan, maybe that was yours, but Michael, I don't know if that was your era.

or not? Not so much, no. Little too late. Iowa State, South Dakota State. Iowa State. By the way, I just want to throw out that Drake made three, made a Final Four in 1969 and made three straight Elite 8s, 69 through 71. And Drake's penis was leaked a few weeks ago. So that is also. You know who went to Drake, one of the most infamous players in Raven's history, Billy Cundiff.

kicker who missed the field goal in the 2011 AFC Championship game. He was a Drake product. So not a big, I mean, I, but I like it because, you my cousin went there. So I'm going to, yeah, let's, we'll stick with Drake. All right. Iowa State. All right. So I said history, um, 2001 Iowa State was a two seed lost to 15 seeded Hampton. So it's in the back of my mind, but they just dominated. I think so. I mean, but they just dominated Houston in the.

conference. Yeah. So I'm going to I think so. That could be one of those where they struggle. You know, maybe just because I don't know, maybe just because of history. But I yeah, I don't know if that's going to be the 15th. If there is a 15 this year, I don't know if it's going to be that one. Yeah, I think it's going to be South Dakota State. Iowa State, Brock Purdy. Correct. Yeah, that's right. All right. Yeah. Yes, sir. I always get those like Midwest.

small midwest football schools mixed up. North Carolina and Waggoner.

No, I'm not. Yeah, that'll be 16 over the one. They're not a, they're not a wag dirt. Definitely. They're not doing it. Mississippi state, Michigan state. Now I will make a hot take that MSU will advance. MSU will advance. Now, which one? I don't know, but one of, one of them will advance. Yeah. Yeah. In MSU this year, it could be Tennessee.

when they were the fifth ranked Tennessee. So they do have that win under their belt. Maybe from twice and maybe at Auburn as well. Yeah, you know, it's like, it's one of those where it's so easy to pick Michigan State because of history and because, you know, Tom Izzo has been here a zillion times. He's won a championship and he's, right? Yeah, 2000, he won a championship. I don't know though. I'm kind of leaning towards Mississippi State only because Michigan State is,

been underwhelming this year. And it just looks so obvious, right? It looks like one of those like you got to pick Michigan State because it's Michigan State. I would take, I'm gonna take Mississippi State. I agree. And I mean, I wanted to lose after that bullshit that he said tonight about mid -majors not getting like an automatic. Oh, I didn't even hear that. I just, the last time I watched them, they were playing Illinois and he, he screamed at a player and I'm like, okay, Izzo, Izzo, he can do that. And then he just kept doing it.

for the next like five minutes. I hope the kid gets it, you know, just let him be. I mean, I don't necessarily dislike Izzo, but he's a lot. I can't believe he's still coaching, honestly. Yeah, that's the same. He's one of that part of that old guard, like Roy Williams and those guys. Bobby Knight Light. He's right. That is perfect.

Yeah, he's under some stress and maybe things aren't good at home for Izzo. He's flipping out and attacking mid -magers. Yeah, be it. St. Mary's and Grand Canyon University, which I could have sworn was an online university. Also, GCU is Gotham City University, not Grand Canyon. I know what that I actually, you're right, I actually had to do like a double take on that. I thought it was like University of Phoenix in the tournament. Yeah, holy shit. I think you're...

I did too. Is it green? I see it. Yeah, it's always like you can do it from anywhere. I'm like, I don't see this about any other college except for University of Phoenix and GCU. Yeah. Shock. Yeah. I think St. Mary's was knocked out by UConn last year. I think that was them. I know they lost in the second round. I don't know what those West Coast schools like Grand Canyon for a while was, weren't they the last

Weren't they like the undefeated or they had the best record in the nation for a while? And one of the Drew brothers coaches them, Bryce Drew, Homer Drew, Scott Drew, one those three guys. I don't know, I kind of feel like Grand Canyon, University of Phoenix could do it.

It's possible. Are they going to be like sending robots and they're going to have their guys like shooting in their apartments? They're all virtual. There's going to be... They're just going to play it on 2k. That's it. They're going to microchip in. They're all remote. The Elon chip. They're going to get them that whatever that head chip is. That's what he's going to get. Yeah. All right. Are we sticking with Grand Canyon or?

What are you thinking, Dan? I want to go St. Mary's. I think want to go St. I think I want to St. Mary's. I go I I think I I think think think think I think

worse than ivy events are in online schools alabama what the fuck happened alabama first off what's his what's his name last year gets in a gunfight and then and then they lose to florida in the first round of the scc tournament and and i know alabama played offense they could not play defense but i know they could shoot the fucking ball and charleston i don't even know about charleston no clue yeah

I don't know. It's wild just how many football schools are now just in the tournament. It's everywhere. You've got Clemson, you've got Alabama. I mean, it's nuts. Yeah. I mean, last year Alabama was a one seed, right? They were supposed to do great things. I think they got knocked out in the 16 maybe. Could be one of those teams where they're really overhyped one year, then they kind of fly into the radar the next year and they're better.

I feel like they'll probably get out of the first, I would think so. I like Charleston, it's nice city, but let's go Alabama.

Clemson and New Mexico. So I like New Mexico here. Same here actually. Really? The power of Dabo and his praying can't get him there? Clemson lost three to last four coming in. That's a big red flag. I think teams that come in like that losing streak and...

in a negative run. I mean, I think it carries in the tournament a lot of time. The momentum can just play huge. So I think I like New Mexico. Yeah, I like New Mexico too. They're coming off the tournament win. And yeah, 6 .11. It's not like a huge leap of faith. So yeah. Baylor and that toothpaste company, Colgate.

I'm a Crest guy myself, so I say Baylor. Yeah, Baylor. You know, and people, it's easy to forget Baylor won the whole thing three years ago. So they're an established group. That's true. That was shit. That was a weird, I feel like that was kind of weird for them to win. Well, think about them as a basketball school. Yeah, and it was in the bubble. It was kind of the first post, post pandemic, but like, you know, after 2020 was canceled and

I mean, I assume March Madness was still hyped that year, but it was weird. I had just a weird vibe to it. And so maybe Baylor didn't get quite the, the, the glory that they normally would have.

Yep. Dayton and Nevada. Steph Curry, alma mater. No, it's definitely Davidson. Oh, oh shit. Davidson. Dayton is John Gruden. John Gruden. Oh wow. And they both have red logos too. It's all, it's all the Dayton was like a big choker a lot of years when, what's his name was coach and that guy Miller. And, but 2020 would have been, they had a great teammate. What's that guy's name? Oby.

top tipping or tapping or whatever. Topping, yeah. Yeah. And they were probably going to be a one seed in 2020. And I don't know if they've been in the tournament since maybe once, but I don't know. I don't know a lot about them. You got any insight, Dan?

I don't. I know I picked Dayton here in my bracket. I'm not sure why. It's been a seeding thing. I'm drawing a blank here. Who went to Nevada? Did Kaepernick go to Nevada? Kaepernick did, yeah. Oh, yeah, he did. Yeah, I think that could be a tiebreaker. We can just compare alums. I feel like if Gruden and Kaepernick were to play basketball, Gruden might have him. Gruden critical. Gruden determination.

All right, Arizona and Long Beach. Yeah, Dayton. Dayton. I know Arizona are historic underperformers as well. They find a way to lose all the time. Yeah, they're title lists since 97, Lute Olsen. Yeah, they're I mean, I'm almost tempted to pick Long Beach State. I'm not going to, but I just I don't know if I see Arizona going.

that deep into the tournament. But here's the weird thing. I looked at the odds. They're actually favored to win their region. So that, you know, history is not dragging that down. They're actually favored over, was it Carolina in this one? Yeah. So, yeah. Yeah. They didn't, they lose. Were they the ones that lost last year? 15 and two in a 15 two game? Was that, yeah, I feel like they did, or maybe it was here before and I got to look at it, but yeah, big, big time.

Yeah, they lost to Princeton. That's what it was, right? Hey, Long Beach State has wins against Michigan and USC. I mean, they're beating some big market teams here. So I kind of want to ride with your... I mean, that's an upset. That's a big one. Yeah. Yeah, but they did just... They lost to Princeton last year and you were just talking about, oh, Ivy League teams. They lost to an Ivy League team last year. Long Beach State, they're not that smart of a university to beat them.

I mean, they're from Long Beach, like, of course. Yeah. I'm trying to think who went to, I think Long Beach State is actually known more for baseball. Yeah, they are. They have a pretty good team, actually. I want to say, yeah. Beautiful place to play ball. Beautiful place to play ball. Yeah, a bunch of MLB guys went there, Evan Longoria, Troy Tulewitsky.

Jason Giambi, I'll just name it a few guys. Basketball, I don't know if I've heard of any of these guys. Yeah, so we're staying with Zona, but we're very cautiously optimistic about that one. Yeah, put them on Opset Watch, but we're not committing to it. Let someone else pick them and we'll cheer for them if they end up winning a million from ESPN or whatever the hell the payout is.

All right, let's go back up here. Houston and Longwood, nice. Oh, that's a great name. Morehead stayed Longwood in the finals, but Longwood played well. They upset a few teams in their conference tournament and they just destroyed, was it like Asheville or something in the finals? I was like, Longwood could be good. And I was thinking to myself, they were going to be like a 12 or a 13, because I didn't know a lot about them. And then I'm like, oh, they're 16 seed against Houston. That might be.

They might be asking a bit much. Yeah. Yeah. I'm confident Houston here. I'd love to pick Longwood. Yeah. Another underperforming team Houston, but again, underperforming the lose to Longwood. I don't know. Yeah. Everyone's panicking about Houston a bit though, because there's tough loss at the end of the year, but I think they recover. I mean, I don't think they're going to pull up Purdue and lose in the sweet 16 or anything. Yeah. I think we're safe with Houston.

All right, Nebraska and Texas A &M. Nebraska, I heard someone say they've never won a tournament game before. That can't be right. That could be true. Surprising. It's a tough one. Another one of those toss up eight, nine games. Nebraska did beat Purdue. Yeah, Nebraska, they kind of, I feel like they kind of played better.

um, later in the year, I'm going to go Nebraska. Let's give it to them, especially if they haven't won a tournament game. It's even more of a reason. Yeah. Hey, March Madness is all about rooting for the underdog. Yeah. You want to see some, some good storylines be built. So I'm down Nebraska. There's no, they've been playing since like the 1800s. There's no shot. Okay. That's, that's absolutely not right then. Yeah, that is absolutely, whoever said that is a fucking idiot. And.

spreading misinformation. Hey, don't let the truth get in the way of a good story. I say I say we roll with it. Nevermind. Nebraska never won. We're giving them their first win. We can. Fuck it. Well, like an asterisk. It didn't really count because it was they won when it was 1824. Well, the last their last one was 2019. So asterisk pre pre covid their first pre covid win. Yeah, true.

It's different game out there now. It's very different. The stakes have changed. This is the part in my take, a little bubble here. Wisconsin and James Madison, big cap PFT. And then Duke and Vermont. Hank and Jake, apparently Vermont. I didn't know that. But I really like James Madison here. I don't know why. I just love it. So I'm up in, actually in Brooklyn, not too far from Barclays right now. And I was debating if I should go. The...

The day session Friday tickets are like only 45 bucks, but the night sessions, $200 course of day sessions, I think like the, the Yukon Stetson game. And, uh, uh, what's the other one then FAU Northwestern. Um, but I'm rooting so hard for James Madison. One of my good buddies goes, I went there. Graduated not too long ago. Um, I could see it. Yeah. Of course my dad and his bracket and he knows nothing. He picked Wisconsin to win it all. So that that's why we should roll with James Madison here for sure.

Yeah, I agree. JMU. I think I had them initially, actually JMU. Then for whatever reason, I flip flop. But you know, I'm down to believe in JMU. Hell yeah. First upset. The very first upset. I think that's the first like big one we've had. All right. Duke and Vermont. Kyle Philpowski, the biggest actor trying to land the next movie with Sidney Sweeney. Who isn't?

including me, but I like I'd scale Vermont and this is this I I'm biased. I mean, I'm gonna say I'm biased here. I just fucking hate Duke. I just a bunch of like rich white kids that are just privileged and assholes But I think Vermont is a chance Duke they're coming in cold too. They've lost a bunch of games coming in there lost two games coming in And they've been up and down all year. I think they're a major upset alert. I

Yeah, I do too. I think they've just, they, again, they're like the Michigan state where they just really underwhelmed the whole year. And it's like, they've been, I remember Duke lost a two 15 game, like 10, 12 years ago to Lehigh. And I remember I was like, wow, that air of invincibility around Duke basketball is really gone. And they also were knocked out I in 2017 in the second round by South Carolina who went on to the final for that year. Yeah.

Yeah, we've been kind of neglecting those 12 and 13s. I don't know. I hate Duke, but I kind of... If I say Duke, what's the tiebreak vote here, Alex? I'll probably just go with Vermont. All right. Partially because I don't want to neglect the 13s. I feel like you get a few every year. We're already pretty scarce on 13 seats left. So I would stay with Vermont.

Hey, Vermont has depth. They have, uh, Vermont has, I think it's.

They have like seven or eight players that play over 20 minutes. So they can definitely run with Duke. Plus like, doesn't it just feel like, like Kyle, Phil Powsie, like, can't you just see them walking off the court, just crying, fucking throwing up. They were complaining about court storming and then throwing things on the court, like literally a few days later. Like, did you not learn a single thing from what you cry about? So.

Yeah, Vermont, just like, I just feel it. Whenever this game is, I'll be watching it. 20 second, all right. I'll have to remember to turn that on. Texas Tech, NC State.

Hmm. NC State went on this crazy run in the, in the ACC tournament. I mean, they really looked good against UNC in the finals. I mean, the five games in five days can wear on you, but then they get four, five days off. I'm leaning towards NC State. I know everything works out in the life of Patrick Mahomes and he's a Texas tech guy. I mean, heck, I was watching the Mavericks game the other day and he was.

I'm like, they're going to hit the winning shot because Mahomes is sitting there and they did. So I'm nervous. I'm nervous like the Mahomes factor somehow is going to impact this game. Like he's going to be there with Texas Tech gear on. But I don't know. I kind of want to take NC State.

I agree. Texas Tech, they did Baker Mayfield dirty. They have some karma. They have some karma coming. Number three, Kentucky and Oakland.

Yeah. I mean, Kentucky's like, I don't know. I mean, they can't play a lot of defense, but you know, they're always dangerous this time of year. They are usually pretty good. I mean, they did lose to, was it St. Peter's? They had won, they lost to a 15 seed a couple of years back. Yeah. I think I remember that. It wasn't St. Peter's. It was St. Peter's, I think. I think you're right. Who was last year then? Who beat Purdue in the first round?

That was fairly Dickinson. That's what I always mix those ones up. Yeah. Um, I don't know anything, but isn't Oakland in Michigan? It's not Oakland, California, right? Isn't that. I'm going to ask like which Oakland is this? There's so many. There actually is a city. It looks like there's a city called Oakland, Kentucky. Funny enough. Um, so that's ironic, I guess. Um, little cross -country rivals.

Oakland Golden Grizzlies. They have never won a tournament game. There we go. So now we have two. There's two now in this bright and in this region. Yeah. Yeah. They are. I don't know. I still I think I got to go Kentucky.

I agree. I'm trying to figure out where they... Okay, so they're in Michigan. Yeah, that's right. They're based at Oakland University in Auburn Hills, Michigan, where the Pistons used to play. Yeah. Florida and what is that? Boise, Colorado? Yeah, that game just tipped off. Florida just had a big injury. Their center, right? Broke his leg. Yeah. Sometimes teams can just rally around that.

Sometimes it just totally derails you. I don't know. Everyone's making Florida out to be a darling, but they also got beat pretty good in the... Who beat them on Sunday? Championship game? Somebody. Oh, let me check that.

was Auburn. Yeah, that's what it was. Auburn Yeah. I don't know. I mean, Florida, they did beat the Bama and A &M and Georgia prior to that. But I think they beat Bama pretty badly. I'd like to see that game tonight. I'd like to see that game tonight, see who comes out of there. Not that I know a ton about either team, but I'd like to see them play. Boise State Broncos.

Jake Plummer. Let's go back a little bit. Yeah. Jake Plummer's a man. I remember watching Jake Plummer. He's He's doing a lot of like, he's like a mountain man now. He plays in He's in mushrooms. Lions made mushrooms. I think that's his thing. Yeah. I was keen on Florida. Now I'm like leaning towards them losing in the first round. It was the injury. But what do you think Dan?

Let's go upset here. I don't know who comes out of that game, but let's keep it interesting. I feel like building a bracket is to sprinkle enough upsets in there to keep it interesting, but have some solid ground in picking the favorites. So let's go upset here. Why not? That breaks my heart, but I don't know. I go to USF now, so I'm like 50 -50. I'm always told I'm supposed to root for who I go to, but I'm like, I'm giving you money.

Why? I'm mad that I'm giving you money. I should root against you for everything that I have. Plus I don't go to a big school anyways. It's not like USF has some major program. Marquette in Western Kentucky.

I think we're safe with Marquette here. I really like the Big East this year. It was a super competitive conference with a lot of teams not making it, which was surprising. Like Seton Hall, Providence, they had a chance there possibly at the end. I'm big on Big East teams this year. I think Marquette advances. I feel like Western Kentucky could give them a game. Just because they've been in the tournament before. But yeah, I don't know. Yeah, let's go Marquette.

All right. The one I mean, this has got to be the biggest upset alert, I think, for because it because Zach Eady is their game plan is just get it to Zach Eady and hope that they foul. Yeah. Purdue and I don't know who the hell that is. It doesn't matter. It's a 16. It really doesn't. Brambling State is one of them. Montana State is the other one. Yeah, Grambling State won that game tonight in overtime, actually by eight points. It was 80 to 88.

Good game. It was a good game. So you say maybe. Definitely upset watch. Definitely. I'm going to sound the air horn. The upset air horn. Feeling hot for us. Wait.

Yeah. That was really long. That was really unnecessarily long. Hey, you can't put the air horn back in the tube. I say we go upset here. Oh, yes. Yes. Yeah. What do you think, Mike? No. No? I don't think there's any way it's happening two years in a row. I know everyone wants to pick it. I mean, look, the last time a 16 seed lost in the first round, they came back, won the whole thing the next year.

I'm not saying that's going to be Purdue. I mean, it probably won't be, but I think they can get out of the first round this year. I know we want to have some fun with it and there even is betting odds on like, when will Purdue choke? What round will the coach be fired if they lose before the Switzes beam? People really are rooting against Purdue. I want them. I'd love to see it happen. But I also kind of just deep down think they're going to kill whoever they play. I don't know. I see them.

Maybe struggling for a half and then figuring it out. So tiebreak here. I'm going to go with Purdue. I mean, they're on the watch. But I feel like they'll get to like the Sweet 16. And they'll flame out there. That's kind of what it feels like to me. Yeah. Death taxes in Purdue losing the Sweet 16. All things you can count on every single year. Utah State and TCU.

Hmm, I don't know. It's one I don't know a lot about either team another eight nine game PC you did beat Houston this year early early on earlier on okay, but that was actually when Houston was like just rolling

Yeah. Yeah, I like TCU. Not to be confused with that great 90s movie, PCU, about the politically correct university.

David Spade and it was a movie. There's a funny scene in it with John Favreau where he's really stoned.

I don't think the whole movie was that good, but anyway. TCU. TCU has, well, Lydianian Tomlinson, a couple of baseball guys, Jake Arietta, Matt Carpenter, TCU guys. Yeah, let's go TCU. I can't believe, it shocks me he's still in the league. Like, I feel like he's 50, Matt Carpenter. I feel like he's 50 years old. Like, I know he was a rookie in 2013, so that's why, because he played against the Red Sox in the World Series, but I'm like, what is this guy still doing here? Go home, Graham.

Gonzaga McNeese. How was Gonzaga not got it done? Like, that's that's more of the shocking thing over the last like, I feel like 10 years, they've been a powerhouse and they just can't put it together.

Yeah, it's a tough one. I think I don't know. I don't know about this one. Yeah, I mean, Gonzaga always, I don't say they always choke. I mean, they win some games, not like Purdue level, but. Yeah, but they're known to choke every once in a while. I would say they're more of a let down. They're just, they always let you down.

Is McNeese one of the top, are they voted like top, like upset, team to upset first round? I think they may be like number one. There's some site, I don't know if it was, but they're like the highest percentage. I don't know if people vote on it or if they want some analytics or what, but I think McNeese is up there. Yeah, it feels like on one hand Gonzaga could go farther this year because they're kind of quieter and they're lower seed, but the other hand, it's like they're a lower seed for a reason. They're not as talented as the teams in the past.

what would make this team any better than those teams. So, yeah, I could go McNeese, sure.

We'll go with McNeese. Kansas and Samford.

I don't know enough about Samford.

I don't either. Kansas has some injuries. They haven't played well lately. They're probably on upset alert, but yeah, I also have sick of Kansas and they just won the whole thing two years ago and they probably would have won 2020 if they played it because they had like a crazy winning streak. Yeah, I know Kansas just lost one of their guys who's were last night and I know they have another one that's potentially out. So that I mean, I could sway it, I guess, in Sanford's way. It could.

I was debating because I feel like one of the teams, Gonzago or Kansas, will get upset, but I don't see both.

I almost want to flip it, but since we already went McNeese, I guess I'll go Kansas.

Yeah, I think you're right there. South Carolina and Oregon.

This feels like an Oregon thing because South Carolina hasn't really been in this spot and then I don't know, they've lost recently to some good teams. I'm kind of leaning with Oregon here.

Yeah, I agree. I mean, South Carolina on the women's side, I mean, they're going to probably win it all. So, you know, you can only have one. The women's team could be more important than the men's team. So let's go with the Ducks. Creighton and Akron. Probably the better Blue J in American sports. Yeah, I like, because you said it Dan, the Big East is really good. Creighton crushed UConn. It's the last game that UConn will probably lose this year. So.

I'm thinking Creighton's got a chance to make a nice run.

Yeah, great coaching to him and Greg, Greg McDermott's been there for a while. He's been in the tournament a few times. So I think, uh, I think coach can be big there. It calms the skies down. Texas and Deon Sanders, biggest rival Colorado state.

I don't know, Colorado State just put the clamps down on Virginia last night. Oh, dude. Virginia, they just need to retire the men's basketball They are solar dodged. Oh my gosh. Shut it down. They scored 14 points total in the first half. It's just embarrassing. Go home. Go home. You're demoted to D2. Yeah. I don't know.

Texas was pretty highly ranked earlier in the year. I feel like they're, they could be a team that's better than it's seed. I'll go Texas. Yeah, maybe they'd be creating too earlier on. So they beat our boys creating. I think they can beat a Colorado state, which I don't think didn't look like Colorado state had much competition that that playing. Right. Tennessee and St. Peter's. Well, St. Peter's is right.

You know, 15 seed again. It's like, could this be? I mean, because I don't Tennessee, like they're another letdown team.

Yeah, I don't know if the St. Peter's team is anywhere near like what that other 22 team was, but I don't know. I'm tempted. We haven't taken a 50. We didn't take any 14s. I don't think did we so we haven't taken. Could this be our last chance to throw off a really low seed in there? I don't know. Tennessee at times looked good this year. Obviously there are two seeds, so they're there.

talented basketball team, but are they right for the upset? What do you think?

I think Tennessee's safe. They did have some up and downs and they're not the most impressive two seed in the history of the tournament, but I think they're safe in the first round. I think they could get upset later on. Yeah, I'm good with that. Or lose later on. All right. Yukon Northwestern, one versus nine. I mean, I think Yukon, based on everything I've heard. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, Yukons, I mean, Yukons is, I mean, they're a runaway train this year, I feel like. They can have the girls and the boys. They can have They're go a three seed this year. Wouldn't count them out though. Yeah, that's weird to hear a women's Yukon team anywhere, like maybe like below a two. Like, and it's a strong one in their bracket too. So. Yeah, they ran the table for years. It was like every year I'm like, oh, who won the women's,

women's tournament. Oh, you can't. It wasn't worth watching. It was like, all right, well, it doesn't matter who else is going to make a run. Dominated. Yeah. San Diego State and Auburn.

Hmm. I don't see San Diego State making another run like they did last year. Like that was their time. Yeah. I'm going all out. They're definitely going to flame out. Yeah.

Yeah, I think Auburn's safe there. BYU and Illinois.

Hmm.

I don't know, Illinois, for some reason I just don't trust Illinois. I could see them losing.

I don't know what I'm basing that on. I just can't. It just sounds great. I great team in 05. I think it was Darren Williams was on that team and they went to the championship game and they were almost undefeated. They lost like a buzzer beater on the final regular season game, like Ohio State or something. Then they almost won the tournament and lost to UNC. I'm going to, yeah, let's go BYU. Bring them young. Let's give it to them.

You going with them too, Dan? Yeah. Yeah. Drake and Iowa State. Drake also was paralyzed from the waist down in the show Degrassi. That's right. This is a battle of Iowa. So, right. Iowa is, Iowa State's the bigger school in the state of Iowa. David versus Goliath. What do you think? I think if Iowa State avoids that first round upset, they become more dangerous. Rick Pitino always used to say that, you know, that first round is where.

teams are vulnerable, but a lot of times they kind of breathe a little bit. Yeah. Get their foot in nerves are a little, yeah. I feel like it's pretty rare. You see the big upset and in the round of 32, like something like a low, you know, a high seat, losing to a low seat. Yeah. North Carolina, Mississippi state.

Mississippi State.

I think I still like Carolina here. I mean, they've played pretty well this year. They have some good players that I think they can rely on. R .J. Davis is insanely talented. I like UNC. Sorry to Brandon Walker.

I apologize to Brandon Walker for Mississippi State losing. St. Mary's in Alabama.

Yeah. Tough one.

Bama.

I don't know, I feel like Bama, like they could be boom or bust. Like they could easily lose first round or they could go on a big run. Kind of leaning towards Bama here.

I'm so conflicted on this one.

I don't think either have been that many huge wins this year. I feel like I just forgot about both of them this year because nothing's been really overwhelming from either.

What are you thinking, Alex? What's your thought? Well, I don't like Alabama football wise. I guess we can talk alums. I have no clue about St. Mary's alums. I don't even know who the fuck went there. I feel like, I don't know why, I feel like Rick Vitino should be coaching St. Mary's right now. It just feels right to me. I want to see the white suit too. He brought it back out this year, which was awesome.

It was just so white. It was blinding. It's college basketball to a tee. It's like a patino in the white suit. I guess Alabama. That sounds right to me. Alabama beating St. Mary's.

Yeah. Let's go, Bama. All right. Roll Tide. Roll Tide. New Mexico and Baylor.

I kind of want to root for New Mexico. Yeah, too. They're one of my... I don't know why, but I'm romanticizing New Mexico. Well, there's nothing special this year. I don't think there anything. No. I don't think so either. Let's go to New Mexico.

Right, big ups, that's the big upset. Yeah, that's our biggest upset in this We double digit in this sweet 16. Yeah, Dayton and Arizona. This where Arizona chokes. Yeah. Wait, now it's upset, upset air horn time. Yeah, I want to go Dayton here.

That arrow horn kills me. I'll go Dayton too. I think, I feel like we kind of have to here. We have to get some high seats there. You got to push them out a little bit. Yeah, a little bit of a gamble here. Texas and... Diversify the bracket a little Texas and Tennessee. I can see Texas pulling this one, but I don't know. Again, if Tennessee survives St. Peter's, does that just kind of give them a little more of a...

Are we really gonna have two seeds lose round two? This is a tough one. I don't know though, I kind of like Texas to be honest with you.

No Kevin Durant? Yeah. Peyton Manning, Tennessee.

Peyton Manning's better, just ultimately better. If we're just going on alum. And what's his name? Played for the Rockies. Todd Helton, yeah. Yep, Todd Helton. All -famer. Yeah. Texas, I don't know, Vince Young. Who else? And they have a big one. I think one of the Roy Williams is Texas.

Yeah, let's go Texas, I guess. Is that where we're leaning? All right. Go Texas. Yeah. Oregon and Creighton.

I think Creighton makes a run. I really like Creighton this year. I I think that went over UConn. Even though they followed that up by losing to St. John's, I think they're... Yeah. They gave it all they had. They're out of gas. Yeah. McNeese and Kansas.

Probably still have to go with Kansas second round. Yeah. Also a team. It's been fun. It's been fun, McNeese, but I don't think I can pass Kansas. Purdue and TCU.

Well, if you're looking. This is where they blow it. I'm going to say no. I'm going to say. I think. Yeah, I agree with like if you make a pass that first round, you get your footing a little bit. I think they might get their footing and then then blow it next round. I think I think that might be what happens. Boyzie, Colorado versus Marquette.

Probably Marquette.

Yeah, another Big East.

Uh, NC State and Kentucky. Ooh. See Kentucky scares me because I feel like if they get through the first round, they're going to pick up steam. I don't know. They score a lot of points. They give up a lot of points. I don't know if NC State can keep up with them. I'm going Kentucky there.

I agree. James Madison and Vermont PFT versus Jake Marsh. I personally like JMU. They shoot three really well. It's got JMU. And Houston and Nebraska. Nebraska looking for their second overall tournament win. Yep.

Real Cinderella story. We've had all the one seeds advance to this point, right? We had Purdue, UNC and UConn. Could this be one that loses in the second round? We usually don't get them all in the Sweet 16. But you know, I don't know. Houston is a really good team. I'd probably take Houston. I'd still take Houston. Yeah. All right. UConn and Auburn.

It'll be a good game. I definitely think Auburn's capable of doing it, but I don't know. I mean, unless UConn gets hit with a couple injuries or something, they're going be hard to stop, at least until the lead eight or final four. So I'm going UConn.

Yeah, I think you're right. I think think Auburn makes him sweat a little bit, but Yukon I think has it in the bag. BYU and Iowa State.

Ooh, I don't know. I mean, there's a part of me that feels like Iowa State could win that region for sure, but they could easily lose to BYU, right?

Hmm, I'm torn on that one. I don't know.

I feel like BYU and Yukon have similar colors. It'd be like an ugly color scheme game if they played like the dark blue and white. We need like the crimson or whatever color Iowa State's bringing.

BYU plays on the blue field, right? In football? Boise State. Oh, I thought BYU did that too. Maybe they do also, yeah. Maybe they do. Maybe, I don't think they do. Copying people. Damn Mormons. Yeah. Get to something for yourself, Mormons. Jesus. I mean, Jesus, I think? Yeah, Jesus. Mormons believe in Jesus, right? I thought they liked John Smith. I thought that was their guy.

Yeah, you know, I need to start praying to John Smith. So I don't think they're getting past. Iowa Iowa State, yeah. So we're going chalk there in that region. North Carolina and Alabama. See, I'm not that sold that Carolina's that good. Like they're good, but I think if Bama gets to this point, I think Bama can...

I don't know. I think they're kind of an interesting team. Like I said, like last year being that one seed and kind of flopping and I don't know if they said they've had some off court drama this year, but maybe this is the time they put it together. You know, I don't know. I'm leaning towards Bama there.

I agree. Thank you right there. Ugly Jersey matchup here. Well, with Alabama and whoever wins New Mexico and Dayton. We riding this Lobo train a little more?

I say, that's right. At this point they're playing Dayton. They've already beaten Clemson and Baylor, two very established football schools, Clemson. But yeah, why not? A flyer on the Lobos. No pun intended. All right. Creighton and Texas. Okay. So I am big on Creighton, but I do realize that they're coming into this tournament rusty, right? Cause they lost to Providence in the first round of the East tournament.

Yep. So I was thinking about that. Like they should get by Akron and I think they would beat Oregon. I don't know, see Texas also last year, again, like I don't know what that means of last year, if there is a correlation or not. These things have a way of evening out. Texas still last year got to what, the Elite Eight? Then they lose to Miami in the Elite Eight. They were two seed. Kind of like an under the radar two seed, but then they were very close to making the final four.

I don't know, I wanna pick Creighton, because we're all on Creighton.

Yeah, I like Creighton. Like I said, I like that biggie. I think it was competitive. I mean, if you're losing the Providence here, that's a good point there. But I think that just everyone in that conference was pretty competent. We're going Creighton. We're going Creighton. All right. Purdue and Kansas. Sweet, sweet Purdue. Oh, boy. Oh, man.

The grim reaper is right there. He's there at those acts as he does he finish them off? Every Kansas though, like again, you wonder about the injuries, but they're very talented. They were playing very well for a good part of the season. But like, I just feel like each rep for especially for a team like Purdue, each round that they advance, the more confident they're going to really feel.

It's not gonna be like, oh, but now we have to win 32. Now we have to win this week. Like for them, I think just getting out of the first round is gonna be a big deal. And then if they get out of the second round, it's like, okay. I'm actually leaning towards Purdue here.

Yeah, Purdue. Purdue. Wow. They finally get that little bugaboo off. Kentucky and Marquette. Oh, that's a that's a good one. It's gonna be a good game if it gets there. This thing's been about Kentucky's defenses here. How terrible it been. But they're always like, they're so loaded with talent and all apart. They can score. I mean, they're just a... I'm kind of leaning towards Kentucky.

Yeah, I agree with that. Houston and JMU. This is like the this is like the ugly duckling that somehow found his way.

Yeah, I can't imagine JMU would even put up a fight here. I think it would be too much. I think it'd be a lot to ask. Because you know, the first two rounds, it's within a couple days, then you have that break and then you have to kind of recreate that momentum and you're playing probably the best team you faced all year. I would go Houston here.

Yup. Yukon, Iowa State, one, two.

I think Yukons, I mean, they're just so, so good this year. I think they're better than they were maybe better than they were last year. And to do it when you have expectations, that's even more impressive. And like they got that one bad loss out of their system, Creighton hammered them last month. And just the thing is in their games too, they've been really just, they really paced themselves for the second half. Like they know how to really finish games. Yeah.

I mean, think about that title game last year. Like they were destroying San Diego State and then out of nowhere, it got to like a five point game, a few minutes left. And there was absolutely people were like, Oh my God, could they do it? And then they won by 17 points. It's like, yeah, look, look away and you're like, Oh, what happened? This is a game that they had a chance and it wasn't even close by the end. So I'm going to.

Yeah. Alabama, New Mexico.

I think the Lobos run out of gas.

Yeah, I think it might be right there.

And Purdue and Creighton, I mean, Purdue can't survive here, can This is where I have them. This is where I have them going. Yeah. Let's go with Creighton if they get to this point. They're arrested at this point and they haven't won a game in a little bit, but we're riding that train, sure. Houston, Kentucky. Ooh.

Well, he's color matchup. Good logo matchup. Look at that. Yeah. U H UK. Yeah. Luma Lajuan against Antoine Walker. I don't know. Hmm.

I think I have Houston here. This is tough because Houston is again, they're that underwhelming team. I know they got to the final four, it was at 2021, right? That was the bubble tournament. Yeah. I think they lost to Baylor, they got hammered by Baylor. I think they control the boards, that Kentucky defense and the rebound. Yeah, I think at some point Kentucky's defense has to catch up to it. I think you got to go Houston here. Yeah.

two one seeds in the final four. So we got a one on one, a three and a four. Okay. Yeah. Yukon, Alabama. Yukon's just having a hard time picking against him here. Again, you don't know that possible injuries, but I don't see Nate Oates. This is like a battle of hotheaded coaches, right? He's got a little bit of that temperament. And Dan Hurley is just, I mean, that guy's insane. He's like a

the - the - the - the -

Um, I don't know if Creighton's good enough to get past Houston. I think they have a great run. Yeah. I think, I think Houston, I would, I would say Houston's going to get a spot in the title game, honestly.

All right. Who is winning the national title? I mean, it feels like UConn is just destined to do it. Morehead State, they're winning it. I don't know what you're Yeah, of course. Morehead versus Longwood University. Yeah, Oral Roberts did not make an appearance this year. But remember Oral Roberts was a 15 seed that went far. I mean, you got Brigham Young and some good universities in this. I think Colgate, I want to say Colgate and Oral Roberts won.

tournament games in the same year. It was like a, everyone was like, oh, it's the tooth year. And it's a battle of mouths. Yeah. I'd love to see that battle.

There has to be like a March madness of like best names, like college names, right? That has to be somewhere. Oh, mascot, best mascot. Yeah. We'll do a bracket for that. That would be, yeah. But no, I mean, I think we go Yukon. They're just so, so good, so dominant. I don't know if anyone's going to beat them. Yeah, I'm with you there. We got to give up total points. I mean, last year, I think the final was like...

I say it was like 76, 59 or something, which would be one 35. I feel like a lot of times they kind of disappoint. Yeah. Yeah. Well that one year, you kind of Butler, it was like 21 to 18 at halftime. And I think the final was like 53 to 41. I mean, they were under a hundred points, whatever it was that, that 2011 championship game. I remember that being such a dud. And I think one year.

What was your Duke that Hayward almost hit that half court shot? I think that was the year before that. And that was like in the like low fifties or something, that game. And that was Butler also. Butler made it back to back years and lost. So UConn scored 72 last year. 72, that was close. San Diego stayed only at 59.

Was that that was the final 76 59. That was right. Gotcha. So yeah, 135. Yeah, I would say I'm gonna say but you kind of Houston can probably both score any on the 140s. I'm in the 140s. I'm good with 145. 145 sounds good. That's reasonable.

I'll enter, submit my bracket. Son of a bitch. Nah, they gotcha. I'll do it later. I'll do it later. I'll just make sure to keep this. All right. Well, congrats to the UConn Huskies on winning the Chaotically Intolerant NCAA title. That's the most valuable title that you can win. That's one that matters. Yeah, more valuable than the NIT, more valuable than what? The CBT? Is that the other one? More valuable than the NCAA tournament. This is the one that matters.

Um, so I guess I'll just stop sharing the screen. Um, I think that's it. I think we'll just wrap up here. Um, I guess look for more brackets in the coming months. We'll probably do something else. But Mike was talking about a, uh, maybe an NHL bracket in April, right? April was when the playoffs started. Yeah. I think NHL is kind of a fun one. Yeah. It's like mid April. The NBA just doesn't count to me. They're, they're so, I mean, like, uh, the playoff games are fun to watch, but the,
