I once tied for the win of a soccer bracket challenge by picking my home-town University of Akron Zips to go all the way ... and they reached the championship game! So I always pick my fav team, odds be damned.
How could I be a Cornell fan and not pick Cornell? Hell, I even bet my Beloved Jets in the early book to win the Super bowl, every year. Whoops, that reminds me, time to go lose another $50 bucks.

My last big bracket win was with my favorite college basketball team (besides Cornell of course) and that's the UCLA Bruins. I pick them every year to go all the way and way back, I believe in the late 90s, they won it all as about a 6 or 7 seed in the infamous TYUS EDNEY coast to coast winning basket game,I believe in the semis. The coach that year, and his name escapes me got in all sorts of trouble later and was fired.
I won a lot of money with that bracket, but of course have lost it all back as UCLA has had many down years and many early exits.
