The Bracket Battle Comes to a Close

Well Pros and Bros, it was an exciting run but the Tournament has come to an end. Remember all the fun? Remember all the laughs? Remember that one guy with the leg and the ...never mind. Can't think about it. Ughh!

Anyway, what a great tournament. The Louisvillle Cardinals won it all and cut down the nets. What an exciting time for all those involved. Every student and faculty member and blah blah blah.

Yeah, Congratulations Louisville. Good for you. But for the rest of us, only one thing mattered at the end of this tournament: The Sports Pro and the Average Bro Bracket Battle!!!



WOO! Our Battle was even more exciting than the tournament! We had our own field of 32 and boy was it diverse! Our field picked 11 different champions! Everyone from Louisville to Duke to St. Mary's (they almost had a good run!). 5 different people picked Louisville to run the tables, but only one person was in the top 99.1% of all the brackets entered on ESPN.com! That is our very own James "The Sultan" Depew!

You might remember James from his article "Home Team Bias" where he breaks down the different type of fans all across America. You also might remember him from his expert analysis in the Sports Pro and the Average Bro Podcasts! (I'm just kidding, you didn't listen to the podcast).

James' interview will come soon. We'll get him on here to break down exactly what goes into the mind of a champion!

Second and third place winners, led2004zeppelin and Mike Amoroso take home the silver and bronze respectively. Each could have easily won #1 on some other Bracket Battle! But not on the SPAB Bracket Battle! It's cut throat! Both of our runners up will receive prizes. If Mr. Amoroso and Mr. Zeppelin could both send me an email it would be greatly appreciated!

In addition to the regular Bracket festivities, this year we added the TWITTER WAR! We wanted you to send us your best March Madness tweets, photos, stats, quotes...ANYTHING!

We received only one tweet:

We heard you loud and clear Mr. Kissass! F-ing Brownie Points have been added to your account. As the Owner of BenchWarmerNewz.com, George Coromilas has a good handle on sports. This time, he had a better handle on social media. But that's good enough in our book! You should check out the site! It's pretty sweet. They've featured SPAB articles in the past. They're good people!

Well, Pros and Bros, this exciting March Madness Season has come to a close, but the fun and excitement are far from over. Stay tuned for new baseball and fantasy baseball articles coming soon, along with NFL draft previews and of course the hilarious tweets that come with it! We'll be doing a pig-skin pick'em pool come the fall so get your battle caps back on for that!

Until then, good night. Good luck. Don't pick Gonzaga (freakin zags!).
