Let The Madness Ensue

Here at the DR we are cut from a different cloth. The editors at large are not what the masses would call "normal". That being said, it is that time of the year again, time for our march madness preview. There will be no basketball talked about in this post, but rather the more important bracket. This year's Name Of The Year(NOTY) bracket is nothing if not phenomenal. It's not just me who thinks so either. Check out what some of my colleagues have to say on the subject:

- Atari Bigby of the New Brunswick Herald Times Picayune Daily has called this years tournament "The year of the upset!"

- Blogger Majestic Mapp of www.thisisafakeblog.blogspot.com/org.us.gov claims "Finally, a tournament that Kok dominates."

- Neon Beaudeaux who has been a guest editor of the Metro Calcutta asserts " This year has more intriguing first round match ups than ever: Dick v. Beaver, Warmflash v. Koldsweat, Uranus Golden v. K Cumalat, and Dr. Shasta Kielbasa v. Cherish Frankenstein." With examples like that who could argue with Mr. Beaudeaux?

Without further ado, I give you all a sneak peak at my bracket. I have 10 upsets in the first round headlined by 5 seeds of 10 or higher making it to the round of 16. Now... on to the FINAL FOUR. Only one #1 seed made it into my final four. Sadly, Taco Vandervelde was not one of them...that sneaky canuck. On the top Half of the bracket I have Glorious Johnson going up against the Reverend Valentine Handwerker, and on the bottom half Nutritious Love v. Dr. Shasta Kielbasa. Surprise final four participant, #5 seed Dr. Shasta Kielbasa, goes up against Glorious Johnson in the finals with the glorious one prevailing in a ridiculously close race.
