How Mascot Fights Made Me a March Madness Champ

My Unique Bracket Strategy

Every year during March Madness, I fill out a bracket. But I have a special way of doing it. I don't look at the team stats or the player skills. Instead, I decide which team will win based on their mascots! I imagine if the mascots got into a fight, which one would come out on top.

Surprising Success

This year, my quirky method has really paid off. Right now, I'm tied for first place in my bracket pool. Some of my mascot matchups have had pretty surprising results!

Great Predictions

For example, I predicted Princeton would beat Arizona. This made perfect sense to me because a tiger would definitely win in a fight against a wildcat. I also said Furman would beat the University of Virginia. Furman's mascot is kind of like a knight, which I decided could defeat a cavalier.

Another Win

Another win was when I chose Penn State to beat Texas A&M. Penn State's Nittany Lion took down the Aggie. I wasn't completely sure what an Aggie was at first. Turns out, it's a person, but their mascot is actually a dog. So, I figured the lion would win either way.

What Will Happen Next?

Now, I just have to wait and see how my mascots do in the next rounds. So far, my bracket of mascot battles is doing great, and maybe they'll keep winning!
