Where were you when you saw/heard about the bracket?

Oh, why not, one of these threads.

Did you see the leaked one? Or not? Just wondering how close to a stroke those who didn’t have internet access last night were by the time they got to our name on CBS.

I saw the embedded tweet on the Selection Show thread in here, but on my phone it cut off near the bottom of the bracket (the last team I saw was Seton Hall) and I didn’t notice that right away and thought it meant we weren’t in. Then a friend at ESPN texted me to say there was a leaked bracket and SU *was* in. I spent the next X number of minutes trying to figure out what the heck was going on, including clicking through to the actual tweet, but for some reason only the left side loaded.

on my couch. Hand in my pants Al Bundy style when I got the released bracket on my phone halfway through the second region.

My wife and I went to dinner, stayed and had a drink to watch the selections, saw that they were milking it, and went home. 15 minute drive home, didn't miss a single pick.

Didn't think we were in when I saw the Michigan/Tulsa last play-in game picked so I looked at the board and saw everyone being unreasonably calm.

My golden retriever saw how anxious I was so came over and cuddled on me to calm me down. I scared the out of him when I saw the pick officially come up on the screen.

On my couch when my brother called me about the leaked bracket. Checked twitter, saw we were in...and didn't fully believe it until the 3rd region was announced. I was stunned.

Biff Tannen gave me a call.

At Lowe's home improvement store, checking the Selection thread here.
I was excited at the leaked bracket. Then there was doubt. Refresh, refresh, refresh. Finally it was official!!

on my couch. saw on the selection show thread there was a leaked bracket and cuse was in. went on twitter and saw the leaked bracket. but then people were saying it was leaked after the first 2 regions were announced so could still be a fake. when the next teams were announced and it matched the leaked bracket i jumped up and down yelling "cuse baby! cuse baby!". my wife was mildly amused

I was in the chat room but when they announced who Carolina was playing, I knew it was legit.

At the fox, rolling 3's for $20s. Saw the tweet from the OG twitter. Lost my , danced around a bit, and rolled a 13. ugh.

On another note. Last summer I spoke at my best friends funeral. A few weeks after, a guy ran into my best friends brother and said "I didn't want to say anything during the funeral, but that guy that got up and spoke.. tried to stab me over a Giants game at the fox" I have no recollection of this. Met him yesterday. 400 pounds, had overalls with no undershirt on. Eagles fan. I guess the Eagles kicked a game winner, missed, but TC called TO before the kick. They made the next try, and I guess I lossed my .

It happens. that guy

At my girlfriend's house watching it. Saw a RT from the creator of the Big Boeheim Head on Twitter of the bracket. Didn't know if it was real. Then I saw the first matchup and had a very good feeling.

 

[kirbivore]

had the chatroom and the twitter going on the computer. saw the leaked bracket in the #selection sunday part of twitter. Didn't believe it until I saw them reveal the 3rd bracket (south) and it was spot on.

On my couch, checking the chatroom and refreshing the board as quickly as I could. It sure doesn't seem like almost a day has passed since then. I was just a young lad of 39 when that happened. Ah, the memories....
