Here is a link to a bracket many of us would like to look at, a meat bracket from so good blog!

Picking winners….
Are you one to pick your brackets by mascot?
Craig Meister of the Temple Daily Telegram wrote a commentary of NCAA March Madness and states that if your mascot is a bird, it doesn’t look good!

Stories Behind the Fur couldn’t believe it. After numerous interviews and podcasts and asking about fights between mascots, we have learned that there are restrictions (due to damages and costs of previous shenanigans) to contact with the opponent’s mascot, as well as if it IS allowed, you plan out the “fight” and the home team ALWAYS wins!
This is not what happened last week when New Mexico State’s “Big Blue” was supposedly paid $100 by a fan “to go rip off” Utah State’s Pistol Pete’s mustache. The cowboy, not taking any “bull” from another mascot chased Big Blue and tried to take him down half court. All of this happening in the last minutes of a one point lead game!
SBtF waited, hoping for a pic and you’ve got to see it to believe it!
Another look behind the fur
Freep.com (powered by the Detroit Free Press) posted a great article on those students we already know to be awesome and their story deserves to be told!
