Yahoo - Before the final buzzer sounded last Sunday, 99.9 percent of amateur bracketologists across the globe had already torched their brackets. For the first time in the history of the Big Dance no No. 1 or No. 2 seeds had advanced to the Final Four. The rash of unpredictable upsets made many entries appear slashed and bloodied, leaving a bitter taste in mouths of optimistic prognosticators who two weeks earlier were supremely confident they had submitted a winner.Unbeknown to many of the approximately 300 students at Jefferson High School outside Salem, Ore., is a humble librarian with unmatched basketball foresight. Not only a master of the Dewey Decimal System and moves on the pitch — she also coaches girls soccer — Diana Inch is the only person in the entire Yahoo! universe to accurately predict all four Final Four teams, an almost impossible task this year.
So browsing around on yahoo today and I stumbled along an all too popular story that seems to come around at this same time every year. With a caption reading:
[insert below average paying job here] correctly picks a near perfect bracket!
Okay, the bitch supposedly picked the final four teams. But you know how a smart guy like me was able to see right through the lie that is this whole article?
- a humble librarian with unmatched basketball foresight - Newsflash. She's a librarian. A female librarian. This "unmatched basketball foresight could possible be the most untrue statement ever made.
- Diana hopes the increased exposure will draw much-needed attention to her cash-strapped school district, which you can help out, along with other distressed Oregon schools, here. - Really yahoo? Oregon got distressed schools? Bitch we all got distressed schools.
But undoubtably the best part of this whole article comes from a question asked by a reporter to her:
RA: Though it's never happened before in tournament history, you had three No. 16 seeds toppling Goliath (No. 1 seeds). Why?
Diana: DOGS: 16 Boston U Terriers (over Kansas), UNC Asheville Bulldogs (over Pitt) (also has a V in the name);
BIRD vs. SEED 16 UTSA Roadrunners would eat seeds/buckeyes (Ohio St.).
She had three 16 seeds winning their opening round games. Yeah this chick really did her homework on this one.
