Notre Dame "FIGHTING IRISH" vs. George Mason "PATRIOTS". Especially the day after St. Patricks Day, the drunken Irish should whop the crap out of the Patriots. Take ND.
Nevada - Las Vegas "RUNNIN' REBELS" vs. Kent State "GOLDEN FLASHES". Sure, a Flash is fast, but UNLV is Runnin AND is a Rebel. This is a toss-up. But I like Las Vegas better than Ohio, so take UNLV.
Vanderbilt "COMMODORES" vs. Siena "SAINTS". Some people would call Lionel Ritchie a Saint, but he was a better Commodore. Take Vandy.
Georgetown "HOYAS" vs. Maryland - Baltimore County "RETRIEVERS". A Retriever is a cute dog, sure nuff. And it is true nobody quite knows what a Hoya is. But G'town's mascot is a bulldog, and if Michael Vick were around, he would be in the bulldog's corner. Take Georgetown.
Mississippi State "BULLDOGS" vs. Oregon "DUCKS". Same as G'town/UMBC. Take Mississippi St.
Drake "BULLDOGS" vs. Western Kentucky "HILLTOPPERS" . Bulldogs can climb hills, too. Take Drake.
Xavier "MUSKETEERS" vs. Georgia "BULLDOGS". But a Bulldog can't stop a Musketeer with a lance or sword. Take Xavier.
Stanford "CARDINAL" vs. Cornell "BIG RED". Great. Two teams named for the same color. But Stanford's logo is a tree, while Cornell's logo is a bear. If a tree falls in the woods, does a bear still poop in the woods, too? Take Stanford.
Miami "HURRICANES" vs. St. Mary's "GAELS". A Hurricane can usually do more damage overall than a gale (yes, I know that "Gaels" is short for "Gaelic", but go with me on this). Take Miami.
California - Los Angeles "BRUINS" vs. Mississippi Valley "DELTA DEVILS". No way UCLA is going to lose, but I love the name Delta Devils. Say it with me "Delta Devils". Cool. Take UCLA.
Purdue "BOILERMAKERS" vs. Baylor "BEARS". Purdue's logo, a train, has a prominent cow catcher on it. I am sure the cow catcher can take care of a Bear, too. Take Purdue.
Good luck, and if these picks win, contact me so I can collect my vig.
