Yeah. Imagine if they’d played Somewhat Dickinson or even Mostly Dickinson...

Yep, good way to to begin a college career and a bad way to end it.

I had them playing the Zags for the title. My bracket looks like Hiroshima on 8/6/1945.

If I read it correctly, of 20 million brackets submitted to NCAA, all are busted. None still alive.

When Purdue was good, they were very, very good. When they were bad, they were horrid!

March Madness at its finest! I had Arizona, Virginia and Purdue all advancing.

I had Houston vs Arizona for the title. Hopefully we can avoid any more bracket disasters.

“Sir Charles” (Barkley) thought FDU had a good shot. Purdue showed real weakness against pressure, late in the season, and FDU is a very quick, very fast team that applied pressure well

Still though, Virginia when they lost, lost by 20, and were never even in the game against UMBC. And they weren’t just a Number One seed, they were the overall Number One Seed.
