Though the North Carolina/Syracuse game is still ongoing and all people of goodwill can continue to hope that the Syracuse Orange mount a comeback and get rid of the unspeakable evil known as the Tarheels, the Bracket Challenge is effectively over.
No one chose either Villanova or Syracuse and the current leader chose North Carolina. What that means is that there is no way he can lose. Some of the guys that also chose Carolina can move up (you get lots of points for Final Four and Championship game wins) but no one is passing our leader. So, he’s got it wrapped up. He actually chose North Carolina to beat Villanova for the title, so one of his teams is already in, and last I checked the other was ahead.
The problem is that our leader is anonymous and I have absolutely no idea who he is. He is “ESPN15282975” – anyone know who that is?
Our winner has been decided, but the large cash prize will go uncollected until he (or she) is identified.
Thanks for the congratulations.

Duh! Nice win on NC’s part don’t you think? Just imagine how hard pressed the other schools are to see the Sweet Sixteen with half of the teams of the ACC and then the Elite Eight and then the Final Four. Duh!
Gotta go! Going to the Dean Dome to watch the game on the big-screen and celebrate with thousands of like minded true blue Tarheel fans. Y’all hold down the fort. 😉
TAR!!!
HEELS!!!!
Now, if Wisconsin will support #NeverTrump tomorrow, this will be a great couple of days.
I recorded the game and I’m gonna go home and watch it. Anytime good prevails over evil we ought all to rejoice – it happens so seldom in this wicked world.
Villanova really earned this, too. Few teams have had as tough a go to get to the National Championship as they have. They had the easy first round of course, then they played my Hawkeyes in the second. Don’t laugh at me, but my guys played some good teams tough this year and this was the only team that blew us off the floor. Then they played #3 Miami, a team that more than one expert picked for the Final Four. They blew their doors off. That’s when I began to think they might win it all. They then got… Read more »
The worst part of all this for Carolina fans is they’ll be seeing that shot about a hundred times every year for the next 50 or so years.
That is the downside of something like this. Being a lifelong Dodgers-hater, I’ve had to turn the channel every time the Kirk Gibson homer is replayed.
On the other hand, this is better than having to watch that Cedar Rapids turncoat hit the circus double-pump 3 pointer that tied the game. Now THAT would have been intolerable!
