The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for March 21, 2025

And maybe it works better than those of many March Madness experts

It’s as good a method as any I guess . . .

He’ll grow up and be a financial advisor.

And when he doesn’t like either mascot, he’ll pick the school that has the better-looking cheerleaders.

With Wilberforce, it’s always dumb luck.

I prefer the two finger method. You rap two fingers on a table and the one that hurts more is the team to pick.

works for me

I once thought that UConn was a team from Alaska.

mascot madness…

If it works … it works!

Of course, McNeese just busted millions of brackets, outside the southwest Louisiana area(where they only had high hopes of not getting blown out).

I think picking, using mascots, gives you about as much of a chance at winning ?

A very old gag.

I’m 11-5 so far. I did pick 11 Drake (my father’s alma mater) over 6 Missouri. I remember their great NCAA run against UCLA in 1969. I’m hoping for (but not picking) a repeat.

Logical, Brutus.

Whatever works.

Not a math based system but it’s as good as any other er system. Go Irish……

Attaboy Wilberforce………..

whatever works… :]

I’m hoping Duke can go all the way.

Go Duke!

I won the office football lottery 3 times in one month. (One of three women in a twelve man office)When asked how I did it, I told them I picked the team that had the best looking jerseys. Lol

How can it be perfect if all the games haven’t yet been played? ☺

My Ex used to do it by school colors — and no I never did understand how one color is better than another

Our office bracket challenge is always won by some secretary who’s never seen a game of basketball but picks the winners based on uniform colors

As I recall, this process worked out quite well for Diane on Cheers back in the 1980s.

Not that I give two cr@ps about sports. Alas, here I am.

Poster on the wall and a handful darts……

Financial advisor and Politician same mold. Rich off people and no risk to your own loot.

Even Gladys had better luck, she picked teams based on who had the neatest uniforms.

One commercial’s theme on games last night – picking the winners based on the the mascot names and it’s impact on the world.

Thus, the winner of it all was going to be the Aggies, as “agriculture feeds the world”. Love it! Thanks and gig’em :-)

I’m guessing it doesn’t occur to Brutus to rake in some bucks by betting on the outcomes, based on Wilberforce’s choices.

But who am I kidding? Any windfall he came home with would likely be spent by Gladys and her mother.

What about match-ups where both schools have the same mascot University of Georgia vs Gonzaga for example, both Bulldogs

How does he feel about Bucky Badger?

That makes as much sense to me, as all the other magic 8 balls out there.

after march madness we can briskly move on to april apathy… ☺

But he’ll never win the bracket choosing BYU, U of Texas and UCLA doesn’t compete anymore.
