Did Georgetown completely mess up your NCAA bracket? Do you regret banking on Winthrop to get to the Final Four? Well, there still might be hope for you.
DailyBracket.com is the companion website for the book The Enlightened Bracketologist. Basically, the premise of the book is that you can make any decision easier by putting your choices in a bracket. The cool part is that you can build your own bracket and have it posted on the website. So, what Minnesota related brackets would you like to see? Bonus points if you follow through and create a bracket.
I’m sure someone’s already hard at work making a bracket of MNSpeakers.

Some things are too nerdy even for my attention.
I’m just kidding.

I at least had a chance going into the last weekend to win or work pool.
I just need UCLA to beat Florida and then The OSU to win the whole thing and I would be rolling in the Benjamin. You only won a little over $100 so I guess I could have got it in $10’s and been rolling in the Hamiltons.
I hope to do better in the Masters Pool this week.

I am a FLA win away from winning 2 pools and $900+.

I’d like Minnesota Legislature-related brackets. Who brings forward the biggest tax increase, wackiest bill, most self-serving bill, first to break ranks with his or her party, etc.
A similar bracket system could be used with the St. Paul and Minneapolis mayors and City Councils. These local officials could be pitted against each other on a quarterly basis. Choose from categories including dumbest local ordinance, most ordinances introduced, most self-serving newspaper quotes, most shameless exploitation of a bad neighborhood situation. . .
I’m jotting down my picks right now. But it’s so hard to pick just one category for each of these groups.

ps — good luck, grote!

I win with a Buckeye victory. 2 pools 500+

I’m not sure I understood this.

Sailor,
I think that bracket is most likely the result of binge drinking and/or drugs.

I made the bracket. I just don’t know that I got the point.

I liked it. From the simple premises of “too much rum makes pornography rather useless” and “no matter how many cute little umbrella drinks you buy, a social disease will ruin the night”, all the way to “oh, look, here comes that angry pimp with a baseball bat, and I’ve just now been given my cheese and crackers, what SHALL I do?”, it really serves to point out that, aspirations aside, reality can suck.

Yes, people often wake up from a bender wondering “how the hell did that happen?”.

Oh, man, that’s my life story!

notfromhere – I have exactly that. It’s going to the media in about four minutes.

In the “Minneapolis City Council Ridiculousness bracket”, I’ve got the circus animal ban as the cinderella advancing to the final four before being soundly defeated by #1 seed “Dean Zimmerman Scandal”. That sets up a final featuring Zimmerman, the #1 seed from the Central region and the #1 seed out of the South, “Brian Herron Scandal” (which secured it’s spot by walloping #7 seed from the Everywhere region, “Smoking Ban” which I personally don’t think it even deserved to be invited to the big dance but whatever…).

She is not directly a player, but she is a member of one of the teams.

In the St. Paul development fights bracket, heavy favorite The Bridges of St. Paul has cruised to the final four. It has walloped other downtown-West Side bracket projects including the Penfield condos and everything the city subsidized during the Kelly and first Coleman administrations.
But the Bridges and its request for $125 in TIF assistance face a tough fight for the title, up against the the Midway big box foes and the people who want to turn the Ford site into a giant tennis center (seriously)
But. . . wait. . . the Cinderella team, the developers who want to turn the riverfront head house into a restaurant and intrepretive center, for $10 million, win the title! Fans say “You want me to eat lunch in what used to be a grain elevator???”
5:26 pm
Easy.
5:35 pm
Oops, I shouldn’t have typed that up so quickly. I mispelled the title, and Nook isn’t even in Minneapolis. And they upset the 5-8!
Damn it, I suck!
8:54 pm
that’s Ok, andy
that was great. . . and the Jucy Lucys at the Nook ARE good. . . just not as good as matt’s

I’m rich, bitch. I won enough money on my brackets last night to replace the bumper that I ripped off of the minivan last month…and with almost $70 to spare.

congrats, grote
I was supporting Florida just because I like the way that Noah kid shoots free throws. . . youth coaches all over the country must be going nuts
and back to the topic. . . I’d love to see a local beer bracket. . .
