Only one person picked UAB over ISU. Nine people drank that ESPN Bracketology show kool-aid and had ISU at least in the Final Four, with two taking them into the championship game. And one man did this...
There are few things better than the soothing sounds of Jim Nance, the constant upsets, and the sheer volume of games on Thursday and Friday of the opening weekend of the NCAA tournament. It's even better when your team has a place in it. When your team isn't in it, on occasion you can find solace in your successful picks. Most of the time I'm mathematically eliminated by the first Sunday, so my enjoyment comes from the pain of others. Rooting against your rival teams and looking for upsets that bust the most brackets is what gets me through this time of year. That, and reports from spring practice...oh, and Harbaugh's twitter account.
There are three 3 vs 14 and one 2 vs 15 to start the dance early Thursday afternoon. No way they all make it through unscathed. So plan on Notre Dame, Arizona, Baylor, or Iowa State to be done before you finish your work day.
At 4:40pm it will be time to strap on your VCU gear and watch Shaka school Thad.
You'll have to wait until 12:40pm tomorrow to see Napoleon whine about refs and tell you about how many of his players are injured or how they didn't get enough sleep last night as they get pasted by the Bulldogs.
You should take a basketball break at 8pm on Thursday and Friday to watch Michigan in the Big Ten Hockey tournament. They play Wisconsin today, and Sparty tomorrow (hopefully). Michigan missed out on the first round bye because Captain Michigan and Godfather went to the game last Saturday that we needed to win, but I'm pretty sure they don't ever travel to Detroit so we should be ok.
Enjoy.
The baby is me. The kit kat was the 2014-15 season basketball tickets I ordered. The spoon of shit is the season.
Well folks, here we are. 4 months without a post. Not a peep. I promise nothing, and I don't know what's going to happen here in the future, but in the interim I offer you the only thing I have ...blank brackets. Yours to fill in however you please in an attempt to show your picking prowess and get some fame from the 15 daily remaining visitors to this dying internet outpost for Michigan tailgating.

I love and miss you all and look forward to Harbaughing my ass off with you in the fall.
WE ARE ALL BULLDOGS.
GO BLUE!
We interrupt the longest in season between-post break in UMTailgate.com history, in this the worst football season ever, to announce a change in theme for Saturday. In short, it's too cold to fry turkeys...more to the point it's too cold to pre-smoke the turkeys...so we are switching the theme for the final home game under Brady Hoke to "Soups and Stews and Filet Finale."
I'm bringing a chili and the sausage and cheese chowder and I'll have them on the double boiler all day. Gus is bringing the steaks and we'll have them sizzling around noon, likely with a side of loaded smashed potatoes and a mushroom gravy.
Definitely a photo worth singling out...
