Unsure About Your Bracket? Ask a Gossip Girl!

March Madness is upon us and we could not be more excited. (Homage to our BB hero at left.)

We would like to remind everyone of our tried-and-true recipe for success in picking winning brackets. The girls have a
pretty good record .

Being benevolent and adoring sports fans, we will once again share with you some tips for your picks.


How A Gossip Girl Picks Her Bracket

We have much better things to do than to pour over stats and watch Sports Center. We have come up with a surefire way to pick wins. We're sharing our secret because sometimes it's painful to keep this much genius inside.

Our method involves looking at the players, coaches and cheerleaders. It involves a little TV time and some internet searches. Why waste time with those pesky seeds and field goal percentages? Evaluate each team on the following arbitrary points and make your bracket picks accordingly.

Cheerleaders wear turtlenecks? LOSE

Bare midriff cheerleaders? WIN!

Players with Hot Tattoos? WIN!

Players have black shoes and black socks? WIN!

High socks? WIN!

Low socks? LOSE!

Player with Really Long Jesus-like hair, playing on Easter weekend? WIN!

High percentage of Ugly Knee Braces?
LOSE!

One guy with weird Plastic Face Mask Thing
- WIN!

Pre-game speech about destiny and God? LOSE!

Pre-game speech about Mom and team attitude? WIN!

Prominent player with Headband? WIN!

Chair throwing Coach? WIN!

Crying coach? LOSE!

And remember, don't choose with your emotions. It's the emotional choices that will burn you in the end although we admit we're developing a serious soft spot for Huskies.
