People with more than one bracket

If you have a one bracket for what you want to happen, one bracket for what you think will happen, one bracket with the upsets you think are a 75% possibility, one conservative bracket, one bracket where you picked the teams by RPI, and one bracket where you picked the teams in alphabetical order,
You are a toolbag and I hope you get a kidney stone.
One bracket is all you are allowed.

I have a basic bracket which I vary...as I pretty much stick with my final four in all.

Here's the way I look at it..
I make my picks, and I feel like they are right. If you hand me a 2nd bracket, I'll make the exact same picks because nothing changed to make me think any differently. (now ESPN.com allows 10 brackets, so I do use multiple brackets there, but they are all identical to each other except for the round in which Winthrop gets eliminated, only because my bias with them doesn't allow me to think of their game as realistically as the rest of the bracket).
But either way, if you need multiple brackets, then you are admiting that you have no confidence in your picks...which is lame.

Or, it's admitting that you want to win.

I have my main bracket that I use on all the sites. I'm in one money group with friends where each person gets 2 brackets so I have a lot of variation there. Also, I entered the maximum of 10 on ESPN because that's what the allow. I'm just doing those to have fun but overall my main brackets are essentially the same.

I'm not saying that, but for the multiple-bracketers, it isn't like they are getting EVERY game right on any of their individual brackets either. All it does is make them sound stupid when they say that they "called it" when Siena beats Vandy. But of course you called it, you had 15 different sheets and you picked it on one of them...whoopity doo. I mean, everyone is guessing (educated guesses, but guesses nonetheless) with brackets, but if I think Butler is going to the Sweet Sixteen on the bracket I fill out on Sunday night, why would I feel any differently later in the week?

I am a one bracket kind of guy. I play multiple pools but with the same bracket. I don't think it means anything when you pick an upset if you have 10 brackets out there. To each his own though. I aint mad at you. You did your thing dog. It was just alright for me. Sorry. I'm channeling Randy Jackson waiting for Idol to come on.

I'm playing the crazy 8's game this year. You pick 8 teams, and for every game they win, you get the number of points of their seed.
So if you pick UNC, they win the whole thing, you don't get as many points as picking St. Mary's to win one game.
I like.
The office pool is up to over 700 bucks for this one.

We at (attending or employed by) Liberty play brackets strictly for entertainment purposes only. Besides...it's all a crap-shoot anyway...as my wife took 5th with her one bracket on a local radio station last year...and she doesn't know squat about college hoops.

Some people are afriad of snakes, some people are afraid of heights. I'm honestly afraid of kidney stones - only one way those suckers pass. I hate you for cursing that on me.

My dad tried to get me to fill out 2 brackets. So I did and then within 30 min threw it our. I just want one bracket, one team to root for, and one that is true to me.
