Sweet Sickness - This Side

The good news? Pretty awesome tournament we have going right now, eh?  A solid mix of predictable favorites and completely unpredictable sleepers that have ravaged brackets like a horny Russian in Cold War East Germany.  Dance of Death, indeed

The bad news?  Well, your FSD soothsayers are certified charlatans this year, bringing home very little advice save for a potential reference to Marquette's first-round waxing at the hands of the Huskies.  We also told you to stay away from Murray State... Our bad.  No big-time early round exit pick like last year's Wake Forest call.  Get 'em next year?

The news that will hopefully redeem us?  We're giving you two additional Sickness entries, this time combining the four regions into two:

East + South = This Side

Midwest + West = That Side

THIS SIDE.

So how about some more bad predictions!

In the East, we can see Cornell being a tough opponent for the UK, but there is where their whiteness will betray them.  Mainly because Calipari is not white, but tan.  Dirty tan and he's been screwing white people across the country for the last two decades.  Not even the Ivy League can see it coming.

In perhaps the best match of the week, Washington will continue to prove their under-seeded...ness when they take on Bobby and the Huggy Bears.  This is a tough draw for the Huskies since West Virginia has probably been a top 5 team for the last few weeks of the season (not to mention the entire year).  Smart money is the Mountaineers, but the smarter money is on an awesome game.

Down South, we got boring on wood when Duke takes on the CINDERELLA squad from Purdue.  Earlier in the season one would have expected this matchup to take place no earlier than the Elite Eight, or even the Final Four, had we thought Duke was any good.  But no, it is now a Sweet Sixteen snoozer and Purdue's MIRACLE run is about to come to an end.  Thanks for ruining the tournament, Hummel.

And lastly, we got the who deys? versus the who dats?  Nope, not Bengals-Saints, we're talking literal here, folks.  Who the shit are these two teams and what are they doing here?  Oh, that's right, it's the shitty South.  This is, in all fairness, a pretty interesting matchup.  A super athletic, yet rather erratic Baylor squad against a semi-athletic group of Christian fundamentalists... Basketball fundamentalists, rather.  We're really not sure who comes out of this one but since we think Baylor puts up the better matchup against the White Devils, then we're going with Gang Green.

Go get 'em, boys.
