March Madness 2015 - The Official DP Bracket

Yup. I'm running late on filling out and revealing my bracket. Actually, very late in comparison to years past. Nonetheless, better late than never! And really, because of my awe for this year's Kentucky team, it really doesn't matter.

I've seen three Kentucky games this year (though their opening obliteration game against Hampton shouldn't count, but furthered my opinion) and I have been thoroughly impressed. Not because of their overwhelming undefeated record, though that is the result, but because...well...they're just so good! So damn big!

I'm very sure opposing players are telling their coaches mid-game against Kentucky that very line from Ivory Christian in Friday Night Lights...

"They're fast, they're big, they're dirty...plus they're fast!"

Because of that dominance, I am going with Kentucky over the field. Seriously, for the first time ever, I really feel there is no need in wasting time in filling out a bracket full of chalk picks. Until someone beats this squad, it's hard for me to care about anything else.

And yes, I'll be watching the tournament closely to see who I'd like my New York Knicks to select with their upcoming, brand-spankin'-new first round pick. Hooray tanking season!!

With all of that stated, below is the official Dome Pondering March Madness bracket. I'm sure you'll quickly notice the theme and trend in this year's selections.

The Madness is Maddening

There is a lot that can be said about the state of college athletics, particularly basketball. NIL has surely shaken the foundation that once grounded college sports for the product that we see today. There is a lot that can be said, and lots of conversations that can be extended for hours of thoughtful dialogue (by the right people). The current March Madness playing out - on both sides - has plenty of thoughts (and mostly feelings) bouncing around in my mind (and heart). Just a few: I really do love how much the Women's game has grown and improved. In various ways, the pureness of the game itself is often more enjoyable than the current men's game. Despite the growth, the lopsided scores in the first two rounds are evident of a still top-end talent pool. Overall, there is room for growth in talent around the country. The "student-athlete" in this space is on life support. In many ways it's dead. It's outright sad to see programs that have zero continuit...

I would love to have an island, of all the people, who brought great vibes to my life - past and present. My island would be amazing.

Predictions and Wild Guesses for the 2025 MLB Season

Well, after that off-season where the Dodgers deferred enough money to build the Athletics a new ballpark, it's time for the remaining fanbases who don't have Guggenheim money to hope for the best. Even with Opening Day finally here, it's the only time of the year we can actually pretend everyone has a chance, and hope feels, well, somewhat authentic. White Sox fans, how are we feeling? As we do every year around these parts, I'm throwing out some predictions and wild guesses for the upcoming MLB 2025 season. Good luck, White Sox. --- STANDINGS (WIN) AL EAST Yankees - 92 Red Sox - 90 Orioles - 88 Rays - 85 Blue Jays - 82 AL CENTRAL Royals - 90 Tigers - 90 Guardians - 88 Twins - 87 White Sox - 65 AL WEST Rangers - 92 Astros - 92 Athletics - 86 Mariners - 85 Angels - 77 NL EAST Phillies - 94 Mets - 92 Braves - 88 Nationals - 78 Marlins - 75 NL CENTRAL Cubs - 88 Brewers - 88 Reds - 87 Pirates - 83 Cardinals - 80 NL WEST Dodgers - 96 Diamondbacks - 90 Padres - ...
