    Bracket craziness!!!

    I am a purist when it comes to filling out a bracket. By that I mean you should fill out one and only one bracket. Some may not agree and that is okay. Doing it my way though makes you feel a lot better when you get the upsets right. This year I have some craziness in my one and only bracket. I thought it would be neat to put up your own craziness to share as well. Here is mine
    East: ETSU and Marquette winning one besides that just chalk with Duke taking the region.

    West: Xavier and VCU advancing one game but having Notre Dame in elite 8 vs Zona. I may still put Notre Dame in final 4 but not sure yet.

    Midwest: UVM advancing besides that prettt much chalk

    South: Craziness with MTSU and Winthrop meeting for the chance to go to sweet 16 and UC losing to PIG winner.

    What are your guys' keeping the spirit of just one bracket

    Usually the board has a bracket challenge. I'm sad no one has set one up for me yet.

    And as a side note what is better to you? Filling out one or multiple brackets?

    I usually do just one I think. Mostly because I'm lazy and don't want to think too hard.

    One bracket, and it will be toast in the first 48 hours. Why do more?

    I'll do my bracket before I leave for Orlando in the morning. No idea on PIG's yet. It will be trash in no time. I wonder why it's so popular to pick FGCU over FSU? FSU last 8 games? FGCU a few years ago? It's a strangely popular upset.

    All hope for me!

    Plus a 14 has beat a 3 seed like 3 of the last 4 years or something like that.

    If money is involved you're a sucker if you only fill out one. Screw pride! I want money. Now if it's only for fun then yes there is no reason to do more then one

    It only makes sense to fill out more than one if you do it within the same pool. Some pools only allow one. Some pools are also a little pricey and filling out a bunch doesnt make sense either.
