I was in a wings place on the Strip in Tuscaloosa but I can assure you the reaction was the same but with a little less volume.

If you ever bet on Drake, you deserve to lose.

I took WKU in my bracket, not because I know anything about them, or anything about Drake. I just like Big Red.

WKU has the secret formula to cinderella success: Big Red.

a big, poofy, red mascot = real, ultimate power.

I had Drake in the sweet sixteen, but it was great fun to watch all those old white dudes cry and make out.

The dollars evaporated when the guy from Drake made the free throw to break the tie, ensuring no double OT and therefore no chance for Drake to cover the 4 point spread.

The best gambling moment of the weekend was when Memphis (24 pt. favorite) was up 25 in the final seconds vs UTA. My buddy and I got the entire sportsbook at Bally’s chanting De-fense (clap clap) De-fense.

Alas it was not to be. Damn you, Memphis scrubs.
