Is this not "politics"?
I am confused.

Some of you guys ruin everything. It's a nice little story about someone famous for making his brackets. Can't it just be that instead of some political bent?

I'll never forget Stef doing the rabbit ears behind him at the official photo session one year after UCONN won the NC.

At the time, some fans went on and on that it was inappropriate, etc., not realizing it was the President who humorously suggested that she do it in the first place..

Anyway, let's hope his brackets prove true, at least for the very last game!!!

Obama is a former President who is also a big fan and fairly knowledgeable, though picking Indiana over Oregon??

 

[HuskyNan]

Isn’t his brother in law a current or former coach?
Just looked it up. Craig Robinson coached the Oregon State and Brown U men

Who did George Bush pick? He is a big sports fan.

W is a baseball fan and former owner of the TX Rangers. Perhaps he'll chime in when the Major League playoffs roll around.

George HW used to release brackets but I don’t remember George W doing it, at least not women’s brackets

 

[PacoBlaze]

Got it. I guess.

 

[JimGunther]

THAT was political? Somebody needs a sense of humor.

 

[LoTrader]

If he actually filled out the women's bracket, then he clearly must follow D1 WCBB. Not that I agree with all his picks, but, hey, I'm sure he doesn't agree with my picks.

Back when college basketball championship teams were invited to the White House, UConn WBB made the trip every single year during Obama’s second term. During UConn’s 3rd or 4th trip in a row, Obama commented, “This is like the annual Christmas tree lighting. It happens every year around this time.”

Did the 2016 NC team get a White House visit before Obama left office? If so, then yes, the four "Stewie" championships coincided exactly with his second term in office, and he would have seen them every year.

Yes, because I remember the pictures from the WH with Lou & Pheesa smiling like teenagers hanging out at the WH.

Craig is Michelle's brother and Craig's Daughter Leslie was an all ivy league performer at Princeton for Courtney and graduated last year.

No, it isn't politics. It's fun.
