MASCOT BRACKETS

 This year, I decided to do a MASCOT BRACKET 

for the NCAA Basketball Tournament.

I marked make my brackets based solely on 

which team mascot seemed tougher than its opponent

Some of the match ups were easy picks.

I mean WISCONSIN BADGERS VS COASTAL CAROLINA "CHANTICLEERS" ( Roosters)

            Badgers get the edge- EASY.

CINCINNATI VS PURDUE? 

Not so easy. Bearcats can be tough, but I figure a big guy with a shot and a beer and a hammer in his hand should win that battle.

Tough call with VILLANOVA AND LAFAYETTE, too.

The Wildcats vs the Leopards. I like Nova but in the wild kingdom, the leopard wins.

Same thing for LOUISVILLE VS UC- IRVINE.

The Cardinals vs the Anteaters. I figure the birds can "out-run" the Eaters and "beak peck" them silly.

Advantage red birds

How about VIRGINIA VS BELMONT(without Dion)?

UVA is the #2 seed, but they are Cavaliers. You can't go into the NCAA tourney cavalierly and expect to beat the Bruins.

MASCOTS ( I mean TEAMS) TO WATCH?

Stephen F. Austins' Lumberjacks. 

They make it to the Sweet 16 before falling to Duke. 

(how do you beat the Devil?)

University of Alabama Birmingham.

They are called the "Blaze" but UAB's mascot is a Dragon. Big upside there, but Bama- Birm falls to Duke in the Elite 8.

 (the Devil is formidable. do you see a trend here?)

In conclusion. 

Duke beats a very tough Michigan State Spartans' team in the Final 4  and Kentucky's Wildcats knock off Wisconsin's Badgers to advance to the NCAA Championship game.

YOU CANT BEAT THE DEVIL IN  MASCOT BRACKET PLAY, SO DUKE WINS THE NATIONAL TITLE OVER KENTUCKY AND RUINS THE Cats PERFECT SEASON.
