What else is there to say to save face when a team inevitably loses and messes up your bracket?
“Well, butter my backside and call me a biscuitI didn’t see that coming!”
There really is no predicting the upsets that occur over the course of March Madness.
Some divides transcend from sport to sport, which anySouthern college alumknows well.
“This round, I chose the team with the best mascot.”
“I just love to root for an underdog, don’t you?”
This is said while simultaneously praying to the heavens that they don’t bust your bracket.
“Well there it goes, my bracket’s busted!”
Said in a Southern drawl, this just about sums up the disappointment of a bracket destroyed.
