The Official FD Bracket Form
Pretty self-explanatory. We love intricate structures and an excuse for humorous, esoteric metaphors. So while I myself might spend this whole tournament trying to guess at Toney Douglas's pro potential in football, here's this for you to use and enjoy. Big Baby's illo is seriously mentally ill, and the names should be as correct as any significantly less visually amazing bracket you can get from Seth Davis's family.

This is all kinds of wonderful.
Is that Ra-Ra-Rasputin rooting for Duke?
Mark, now that you mention it... these fans do look like they're imported from Anastasia. Love the drawing, though! This will be the bracket I hand in everywhere. Thanks guys!

Isn't college basketball a little antithetical to the whole of FD?
Though I love this bracket, artistically.
"Gonzanga"
Obama filled out a bracket. Savvy.

He's not too big on upsets.
Dig the bracket, and the SOYA show.
Also, I don't know how closely you all follow the college game, in particular the Louisville Cardinals, but Terrence Williams might possibly have the most FD-potential player in the entire tourney. Dude is electrifying.
I thought it was Timothy Leary, but I guess it could be Albert Hoffman.
Re: Shoals "anti-college" Sporting News column: I agree with your thesis but would quibble with your sample-set: all the guys you cite are lottery picks. The counter argument can simply be that anyone picked in the first 16 was an elite college player and the fact that any 8 of those guys end up being NBA regulars proves that there's a great bridge between the "sports".
What you're really talking about is how these players express themselves in college vs. the NBA and how they are perceived. On that point I agree, but think you've made the argument on better terms at FD.
Agreed about the "different means of expression" thing, which makes sense if they are fundamentally different games. I'm more focused on whether or not the age limit has actually made college more appealing to me, as in, does their different means of expression matter to me (except in a detail-oriented scouring way) or give me a taste of their pro futures? "Anti-college" was a poor, if deliberately inflammatory, choice of words.
