Bracket madness

Well, it is that time of year...but we missed out! We forgot to fill out our brackets for our two online groups (brother-in-law Mark's and our traditional southwest group) before going to bed last night. We had guests for dinner and then got tired...BUT we did fill them out on paper and are having a family rivalry- Chris, me and Austin. The funniest was Austin's bracket. We went through the entire bracket and asked him..."Hey Austin do you want Xavier or Portland State? Do you want Florida State or Wisconsin?" Sometimes we substituted the mascots' names. Most of the time, he always answered the last name we gave. We tried to mix it up or say both names together really fast, but he usually still picked the last one. He did usually go for Huskies or Tigers over something else and the favorite mascot for him was the Golden Eagles (Marquette, which he has in the final). I think that is because there is a Thomas the Tank Engine episode about Thomas finding a golden eagle. He of course picked Carolina as the champion and had Duke losing in round one (he is well-educated, or really smart or indoctrinated, however you want to look at it). Except one time he kept picking the Clemson Tigers over Carolina and we would ask "Are you sure you want Tigers instead of the Carolina Tarheels?" and then he would say "Tarheels!". He also picked VCU to go a long way, because we told him that was where Nana worked. So his final four is Marquette vs. Utah and VCU vs. UNC, with UNC beating the Golden Eagles in the final. If he wins, we will be sad we didn't get online, because I am pretty sure no one else has that final! GO HEELS!
