YCS Greatest Bracket Ever (Fuzzy Zoeller Regional)
FIRST ROUND
#1 Sliced Bread vs. #16 Humphrey Bogart
#8 Notre Dame Victory March vs. #9 "The Giants win the Pennant!" call
#4 Wayne Gretzky vs. #13 Todd Walker
#5 '85 Chicago Bears vs. #12 Elvis Presley
#3 Polio vs. #14 "The Thrilla in Manila"
#6 The Pyramids vs. #11 Dennis Eckersley
#7 Knute Rockne vs. #10 Internet Pornography
#2 The Wheel vs. #15 "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn."
RESULTS
--Bogart made a couple good movies. Sliced bread made untold scores of sandwiches possible.
--The ND Victory March does get played a lot more often and is much more instantly recognizable than the 1951 radio call.
--You've got to be joking. Gretzky.
--While the Bears did record the Super Bowl Shuffle, Elvis notched hit after hit, starred in movies, and changed rock forever
-- I would say the "Thrilla" was "bigger than Polio" but by 1975, a polio vaccine had already been found, and would make any polio attack on Ali-Frazier III meaningless.
--Eckersley may have been the dominant closer of his time, but the Pyramids have stood the test OF time.
--Wow. This 7-10 matchup is tough. Knute is a hell of a coach, but he only has a finite body of work. Where as internet pornography is constantly changing, and has put countless fine bodies TO work.
--I don't give half a flying fuck if it's one of the most famous lines in movie history, without the wheel, how could Rhett ever get back to Charleston?
SECOND ROUND
#1 Sliced Bread vs #8 Notre Dame Victory March
#4 Wayne Gretzky vs. #12 Elvis Presley
#14 Thrilla in Manila vs. #6 The Pyramids
#10 Internet Porn vs. #2 The Wheel
RESULTS
--Notre Dame fans may think they're the biggest thing since sliced bread, but "Since" is the operative word in that sentence.
-- Rock may very well have gained mainsteam appeal in America without Elvis. Hockey would likely not have without Gretzky.
--The Pyramids just sit there, but Ali and Frazier whaled on each other and many say it was the greatest fight ever.
--In a matchup that happens too early in the tournament, the two greatest inventions of mankind are put to the test. In the end, the wheel rolls away with the victory after porn misses the late money shot. In related news, the pun police arrest Mike.
SWEET 16
#1 Sliced Bread vs. #4 Wayne Gretzky
#14 Thrilla in Manila vs. #2 The Wheel
RESULTS
--Gretzky as known as "The Great One." Not the greatest one since sliced bread, just The Great One.
-- The wheel has proven far more useful over time. The Thrilla's cinderella run comes to an end.
QUARTERFINALS
#4 Wayne Gretzky vs. #2 The Wheel
RESULTS
-- Gretzky has been a winner on the ice (4 Stanley Cups) and off the ice (Directing Team Canada to Olympic gold.) Wheels are effective off the ice, but not so much on the ice. Gretzky moves to the Final Four.
