And so he's a little easier to, you know, more palatable for people that aren't UConn fans to root for him now.

I'd say, like, Paige Beckers as one of the coolest players

college women's basketball players in a long time certainly helped his popularity with a lot of people, including me.

I was like, damn, I don't like UConn, but Paige is pretty cool.

She's a cool, cool lady.

But I think still there, you know, I would say from the average fan, it's more boring if they win.

If they just steamroll through everyone, steamroll through the Final Four, steamroll through the championship game, I think most people would say, Zazz, that's kind of a boring outcome.

It'd be cool to see Texas and UCLA, they were in the Final Four last year, but before that, hadn't been to a Final Four in over, what, four decades?

So it'd be kind of cool to see some new blood, even though they're, like I said, two of the best teams this season by far, they're somewhat new to the Final Four, and it would be a big deal for either of them to win a championship.

I don't know, might make people a little bit more excited.

They're too late.

Zazz, they're too late.

I'm sorry.

Because I would ruin your office bracket pool.

I mean, don't keep it simple, stupid.

This is what I'm actually I'm not even joking.

One of the things I'm the most concerned about if they do expand, which a lot of people think is inevitable and there will be expansion of the NCAA tournament in the near future.

yeah more games more teams there's going to be more games like tuesday wednesday and then fewer teams in the full bracket i guess i don't i i read an article about i don't want to over complicate things but my biggest concern is it's going to f with people's brackets because selection show if it's on sunday now you got to do a bracket by tuesday and then if you got all these play-in games how are you going to select the next round if there's so many games contingent upon who wins the playing game and then is that going to ruin the entire like fun communal aspect of okay so you got a bracket

at work.

I think really to answer your question is like this is the format that we've selected, right?
