Agree with your first point, but let me defend everyone on here. I think your statement holds true for the average fan. The fan that watches every game and reads the headlines might feel the same way you do.
But people here on the Boneyard are not anywhere near average fans. Anyone who posts 1000 times on an internet forum about a college athletic team is borderline crazy. We're all crazy psychos here. But that is what makes it fun. Its fun to be apart of something bigger than yourself. In each of our heads, we're like KO's graduate assistant who gives him pointers before games and after. We scout teams and look at incoming recruits like savages. We're all messed up here. We've got problems. But the fact that we all have UConn in the Final Four says that we believe. No matter how crazy we are, we know that March is crazy and anything can happen. And that's what we're hoping for this year.
To summarize, some on here, including myself, are die-hard fans and would rather see a family of squirrels get run over by a train than have our beloved Huskies exit the tournament. The fact that you publicly announced your bracket selections can upset those faithful fans. To me? I don't care brackets are just a fun thing to do, but I always have the Huskies in the Final Four.
