OK, I think I am in. What a pain in the ass to enter. Damn you espn. Not criticizing **SHOELACE** , but the whole process at ESPN. ---

Yeah. To be fair to Shoeless, none of these organizations hosting brackets are putting any real effort in making this smooth and easy. ---

If you squinted really hard there was a way to create a Yahoo! bracket without signing over your bank account and first born to Quicken Loans. So, anyhow, I’m andrewm74 over on ESPN. My ESPN bracket has been my “sheet of integrity” since, gosh, 1998? Wow. That’s a long while… ---

> [@Ponch8](#): > > I’m in. The whole nation will feel the awesome wrath of my Florida Gators! People online keep saying that the Albany uniforms are ugly. Are they really that much worse than LSU? Gators up by six at the half. Somehow I doubt they lose the lead even once in the second half. ---

The best two Ohio teams both went down. I’m yelling “timber!” ---

I could have sworn I had all the 12 seeds picked over the 5’s, but it looks like I had St Louis U in the Sweet Sixteen. Oops. On the other hand, I did pick Dayton over TheOSU. Woot! ---

And it looks like another 5 seed (Oklahoma) about to lose to a 12 (ND State) in OT. ---
