Ryan Hawkensmith, tell me, what's the best bracket you've ever filled out?

The best bracket I ever filled out actually didn't even count because in 1999 I entered

this huge college pool at Penn State, All my buddies got in it. It was definitely not

legal. It was a hundred bucks to enter and I think it paid something like five grand.

And someone said, you know, we're going to do it a little differently this year.

It's not a paper bracket.

You just have to go in online on this thing called the internet and you will fill out a bracket there. I wrote out my bracket and I went to a computer lab on the campus of Penn State and I filled out an online bracket and I

submitted it and the wheel of death came up it was just spinning and spinning and

spinning but eventually it said your bracket has been

submitted good luck and I left and it turns out it was not submitted and I had the

best bracket and I probably would have won the five grand I had Duke losing to

Yukon which was the actual national title game that year.

Charles Lainton Trips And you can't do it.

LME comes over and says we shot the world.

And it didn't count.

I just had a paper bracket that I tried to submit to my friend who was running the pool. I was like, seriously, man, you know me, I wouldn't cheat. He was like, ah, yeah, I don't know if that's true. So my best bracket ended up just in my pocket with no real purpose.

But sir, I believe your story pales in comparison to the story you're here to tell us today.

Yeah, it's an awesome story about a guy named Dr. Greg Niegel.

He's a neuropsychologist who works at the VA in Columbus, Ohio,

and he entered the 2019 NCAA tournament he entered a bunch of brackets and he

loves college hoops.

So he had this amazing plan to go to Vermont with his family on a skiing trip and during the drive to Vermont he had everything queued up.
