March Madness

[xp_adrienne]

I've decided to host a March Madness tournament, but rather than the usual bracket style, I'd like to assign each person to one team.

For example, Wade, I think I will give you the SF Austin Lumberjacks for your pick. Because, Lumberjacks.

Sam Guthrie = Nebraska Cornhuskers?

Kurt Sefton = Blue Devils?

If anyone would like to stake a claim to a team of their choice rather than me assigning them, respond to this before 12pm March 18th.

Otherwise, I'll be assigning them. And I'll be giving one to everybody, so don't think your silence will exclude you. It just means your choice is at my discretion, or the discretion of someone else who suggests something for you.

There will be a small prize for the person whose team gets farthest.

I call Wildcats!

Go Wildcats!

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Which one?

Oh, wait, are you playing the odds and taking all five of them?

[x-pryor.livejournal.com]

You're the one who taught me Math! Can't blame me for using what you've taught me to my advantage.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

This is true. I can't. And I'd be lying if I said I didn't appreciate your playing the odds like that.

Dude, I would like the Wildcats, or the Wildcats. Barring that, the Wildcats. Maybe I'd be okay with the Wildcats, and if nothing else is open, the Wildcats.

(Yeah I know Mads just made this joke but it's all I got. For serious I'd also be okay with the Badgers, because Logan SHOULD get them but there's Wolverines down there on that list too)

Chanticleers!

Because Chanticleers!

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Done and done!

Which Wildcats would you like? There's a 1-seed, two 2-seeds, a 15, and a 16.

Unless you really want the Badgers.

Obviously you're the "Fighting Blue Hens", KGibz. Or the Lobos, like those tools the Marines invented in WWZ to help decapitate zombies.

[x-wildchild.livejournal.com]

Lets go with Villanova.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Done!

I have no good name-related jokes to go with.

So I will take the Badgers, because badger is a verb meaning "to harass," and I am the best doctor at badgering patients.

What the heck is a Chanticleer?

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

I like the way you think!

[x-barrier.livejournal.com]

Why thank you.

(Unless you had any better ideas? Plenty of other people here could be Badgers too...)

First come, first served, I say!

University of Iowa, please, Miss Frost.

Tar Heels. I want the Tar Heels.

[x-adrienne.livejournal.com]

Done! I'm disappointed you don't want Lumberjacks or Cowboys, but to each his own!

[x-tarot.livejournal.com]

You have to tell her the story WHY.

[x-deadpool.livejournal.com]

One day, McFrosty, I'll tell you why I want the Tar Heels.

Fine fine. So this one time I was in Estado Sucre, Venezuela doing a thing for a guy for some stuff and this other guy with this weird thing on the front of his truck didn't like that I was doing the thing I was doing. So he came after me and it turned out the thing on the front of his truck was actually kind of dangerous, so I decided making a break for it rather than waiting around to get holes put in me was a good idea. Only he could go off-road, too, since apparently his truck was as awesome as Sam's and I kind of hightailed it into a tar pit sort of by accident but mostly because I knew he couldn't follow me with his awesome truck. Dude, there weren't even any dinosaurs - but I was totally a Tar Heel. And a Tar Ankle. And a Tar Calf. And a Tar Knee - all the way up until I didn't have any skin anymore and that sucked, but! That's why I want the Tar Heels. We're kindred spirits.
