(Note: if there are a bunch of unresponded-to comments, I’m not ignoring you; this post was pre-set to show today.)
Yes, we will do that ESPN March Madness bracket again this year and see if something dethrones Tom. But we’ve also decided to do our own version (“Egg Madness”, I guess?).
This is going to be such a disaster, mainly because of the sheer number of matchups. The idea is that the readership will vote for whoever they want to see “win”. No criteria. No rationale. Just raw popularity. (Of course, everyone’s going to be bracketed-out by the end of the month, but no one said we at LEP were the most considerate people.)
We’re still deciding on the brackets, but we’ll give you a sneak peek at one that’s almost finished. If there’s anyone you want to see in Egg Madness–or even ideas for other brackets–let us know and we might just get them in!
Or if this idea is completely fail, warn us before we look even more foolish.
I want to see a “Famous for being famous” bracket, where Paris can take on Nicole, where anyone who’s famous for a “reality” TV show can battle, where it’s all style and no substance.
Also, Mr. Show should be in the above Mr. bracket, i think it could take all the marbles.
A Paris v Nicole matchup could work well…it probably would have to be a first-round matchup to assure they actually get to slug it out. Seeding them #1 and #2 (as they’d deserve in that bracket) would be more epic, but it probably would never happen…
I intend a vigorous defense of my crown.
That means all efforts will be made to obtain my victory. I am even considering acquiring the services of Mr. E to help facilitate my efforts. It also means (probably) that I will be so far behind after the first weekend that I will be effectively eliminated.
Good luck to all.
Mr. E doesn’t know anything about college basketball…which probably means he’ll at least get the Final Four correct. So that might not be such a bad idea.
Well, I was not able to defend my title….but there is always next year.
Think about it this way: losing this title is like letting a banana ripen too long and become inedible.
At the moment, you regret wasting the banana. But it’s so trivial, you’ll never think about it again (at least until you let another banana go bad.)
Er. Right.
