There is a phrase uttered in March that you will never hear in the other 11 months of the year. "How's your bracket?". Every true guy knows what this means. Even those who do not care about college sports at all know about the NCAA basketball tournament.
Real men know the truths of the NCAA tournie, and use these truths to have conversations that sound like complex math debates.
"You've got three 2's and a 4 making it?!"
"What are you thinking - a 15 over a 2?!"
"Butler? I hardly know her! Hahaha...no, but seriously, they suck."
Know the trends - it'll lend your bracket and your manhood some credibility.
At least one 5 always beats a 12. A 9 beating an 8 isn't really an "upset". Duke will always be ranked higher than they should be...cause they're Duke. The Mississippi College for the Deaf might win the play in game...but they sure as hell aren't beating the 1 seed. George Mason was a fluke - quit taking higher than an 8 to the final four. Just give it up, bleeding heart.
Lastly, and maybe most importantly, don't ever watch that first day of games without beer. It's a dead giveaway. So is your pristine bracket with no folds or marks on it. It should be with you at all times, marked up accordingly, and have at least one beer can ring on it.
