Hi everyone!
My name is Joel Decker. I'm a stand-up comedian, trivia host and former emcee for the Oklahoma City Thunder until we parted ways. In a testament to how low my career has fallen, Patrick has hired me to be your emcee and guide for Ogle Madness V. I'll be posting the daily match-ups, monitoring the polls and raking Clark Matthews' leaves. You think he would have gotten to that already, but he hasn't.
Here are the match-ups for this morning. They are from the upper bracket of the Northeast Region. We'll post the match-ups from the lower half of the bracket at noon:
(1) Kevin Durant vs. (16) Mike Morgan's Bedazzled Weather Tie
(8) Mayor Mick Cornett vs. (9) Cardboard Jim Traber
(4) Jaime Cerreta vs. (13) Sally Kern
(5) Jessica Schambach vs. (12) Landry Jones
Anyway, read about the contestants and vote for who you would like to see advance after the jump. Polling is open for 24-hours. And to view the entire Ogle Madness V bracket, click here.
