NCAA Tournament Analysis - Washington, D.C. Bracket
Posted By Alan Cohen in Soundcheck on March 13, 2006
What a response (both good and bad). The e-mails have been pouring in from the Soundcheck faithful since Kevin and I announced our Minneapolis bracket predictions. That has only motivated us to get to "work" on our picks for the Washington, D.C. bracket.
Kevin has really impressed me with his mascot knowledge throughout this process.

I'm still embarrassed that I didn't know what a Gael is.

Kevin, there are no Gaels in this region...
At any rate, I'm going to have to throw in my two cents again on the Shockers. Since we are dealing with Wichita State, the shocker almost certainly has something to do with shocks of wheat...I'm guessing a shocker is a big, burly wheat-baler type guy. But, I'd have to go with the pirate in the end. No amount of brawn is going to save you from a sword.
Looking forward to the next installment!

But Jenn, you're failing to understand that the shock that the Pirate would receive when his metal sword makes contact with the Shocker would knock him unconscious, allowing the Shocker to have its way with the Pirate. It's going to be ugly for the Pirate.

I'm not sure you're giving enough credit to the Pirate. Unless you are assuming they are 'modern day' Pirates. Please, a cruise ship outran a modern day Pirate. Back in the day, I think a Pirate-even a Pirate with two hooks-could do some damage.
From Kevin's analysis of what an Aggie is... I'm feeling confident that in the Atlanta Region, a piece of citrus fruit might possibly outsmart the Aggie!

Unfortunately for the citrus, I think the Orange is the one mascot in the tournament an Aggie could defeat, given its rural, agricultural roots. I think an Aggie might even lose to a Quaker by somehow shooting or stabbing himself while the Quaker stood by passively, but an Orange is in trouble. Now whether the Aggie peels the Orange and eats it or stabs it for falling on the sacred grounds of Kyle Field or on the grave of one of its mascot dogs is still to be determined...

Erin, Here is the deal with pirates - they just arent that intimidating. Would you be intimidated by a team called "The Peter Pans"...NO! Of course you wouldnt be intimidated by a tights wearing, peanut butter eating mascot....yet Peter Pan was able to defeat a pirate...and not a modern day pirate, we are talking about an oldschool pirate with one good arm.

What if the Aggie had a bad cold and the only way it wouldn't die was to get some Vitamin C. The Orange knew this and ran away. Who wins then?

Where does this mutant Orange with legs come from? THAT would be a scary mascot. Unfortunately for the 'Cuse, I don't think they have such a mutant on the sidelines. Advantage Farmers.
