March Madness Mascot Bracket!

My Guntersville Camping post is coming, I promise. But with March Madness about to kick off I HAD to throw up a post on my bracket. It involves a process almost as convoluted as the BCS system: pick the mascots. Complex I know! Here's some key points:
1. Most important point! Cats stink. They always lose. Any cat, lion, tiger, etc. If two cats play each other, the most ferocious feline wins. I hate cats.
2. Dogs always win. DUUUH. Dogs rule. If two dogs play each other, my favorite wins.
3. Animals beat hoomans. Sorry Alpha, hooman mascots are inferior. Aztecs? Really?
4. Inanimate objects/plants are auto disqualified. Silly mascots.
5. This "First Four" play in thing is silly. UNC-Asheville is the exception. Bulldogs!

Here we go.



In the East! I have a doggie friend in Johnson City, TN named Buckeye, so I have Ohio State it to the Elite Eight against the Washington Huskies. The Orangemen beat the Sycamores.. because Orange's are tasty and a Sycamore is a ridiculous mascot (I'm looking at you Indiana St). Not much commentary on the East, the Huskies start off by playing the Georgia Bulldogs, and since there's sooo many Bulldogs in the tourney (I thought Bulldogs only skateboarded) I went with the Huskies here.
The West!
Blue Devils beat Pirates. Duh. Volunteers beat Wolverines. Doggies! Wildcats and Tigers.. stupid cats. Tigers are more ferocious (Rule #1). More Huskies (UConn), keeping the Bison in a herd (see what I did there?? All dogs should herd. It's cool). Owls beat Nittany Lions (bleck! cat!). Elite Eight here consisted of a Husky and Volunteer. Since a Volunteer isn't REALLY a dog, just a LAME college's (cough..Tennessee..cough) attempt to be cool by using a dog as a mascot, we go with the Husky.
The Southwest!
Boston U. Terriers trash the Jayhawks. Annoying bird. Rebels beat the Illini.. because what squeaker toy is an Illini?! Spiders over Commodores (Rule #3). Eagles over Cardinals, for obvious reasons. Hoyas (wha..?) advance by default over the First Four (#5!). Irish over Akron Zips (like a zipper?) because I assume they're an Irish Wolfhound, or Irish Setter maybe...Elite Eight matchup is the Irish vs the Terriers. Terriers prevail.. because I really don't know what the Irish are.
The Southeast!
A First Four team makes it! UNC-Asheville Bulldogs! Skateboarders! Unfortunately they get matched up against ANOTHER Bulldog (from Butler) and since Bulldogs tire easily and the UNCA Dog played an extra game, the Butler Bulldog wins. Aggies over Wildcats.. Hoomans over cats!! Hooray! Bulldogs (of Gonzaga.. sheesh at the skateboards..) over the Red Storm (Seriously?). Terriers over Cougars.. Dogs Rule, Cats Drool!! Gators over Gauchos (Ok really?! a Gaucho?? I give up.) Tough game in the Elite Eight here.. another Bulldog vs Bulldog matchup. I go with Butler. I have trouble pronouncing 'Z's.
FINAL FOUR!
Washington Huskies vs UConn Huskies. Tough call. Husky on husky? I went with Dubs, the Washington Husky. He's a Malamute. Winner.
Boston Terriers vs Butler Bulldogs. Butler. Because the Terriers I know are spoiled and kinda wig me out.
AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Dubs the Husky for all the marbles. Just too much energy to contain in those Huskies.
So there you have it! It's a winner. Alpha's bracket doesn't have a shot.
And just for fun, skateboarding bulldogs!!
