Brackets Busted

Yesterday's Kansas/No. Iowa game was a difficult game for me to watch. In my bracket, I had Kansas going to the Final Four (as did pretty much everyone else that filled out a bracket) but I attended Northern Iowa (Go Panthers!).

Kansas is the team in the Big 12 that I root for because, well to be honest, Nebraska flat out sucks. And sure I attended UNI for one year, then was kicked out, but I had fun and have many wonderful memories of Cedar Falls.

So watching this game I was unsure as who to pull for. Do I back the integrity of my bracket or pull for the underdog? I chose to just enjoy one hell of a game and remain neutral in the end. I figured that, no matter who won, I would be happy with the outcome. I mean if Kansas lost I wouldn't be the only person who's Final Four would be busted (I still have Syracuse winning it all anyway) and if Kansas won, then my bracket remained safe.

So congrats UNI! Welcome to the Sweet 16 and may you make it to the Elite 8! Kansas...there's always next year.
