Well since it's march and it's time for the tournament I wanted to put it here for us Americans. So basically discuss who you have on your brackets, who you have winning, etc. So I have Duke winning the tournament. Thoughts.

Perhaps http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/forums/show/71.page would be more appropriate?

It's not really off-topic if there's a forum devoted to tournament discussion.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

Excerpt from "Seeress of Kell", Book Five of The Malloreon series by David Eddings.

Then it was the most unclear OP i've encountered.

I saw no mention of Basketball, just "the tournament", and a plausible winner being "Duke", and given that this is a wargaming-centric board and all...

The nickname "March Madness" is known to pretty much everyone (even those of us who don't watch Basketball) in the US. It's sometimes funny to have our parochialism illustrated vividly by something like this. To you it was "the most unclear OP i've encountered"; but I'm sure it didn't even occur to the OP that anyone wouldn't get the reference.

March Madness is about basketball?

I thought it was about gambling, and getting drunk.

Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh.

Well, hence its broad appeal.
