Let the madness begin!
Back in 2008, I was sitting in my office at my old corporate job and emailed TLO co-founders Tony and Clark Matthews an idea I had for a March Madness style tournament featuring Oklahoma stuff. We then came up with a list of Oklahoma people, places and things, seeded them in a NCAA tourney style bracket, and Ogle Madness was born. In other news, we're all very old.
This year's Ogle Madness is a lot like all the others. We take 68 Oklahoma people, places and things and place them in a NCAA tournament style bracket. We then post the match-ups on the site and let you, our loyal Ogle reader, choose who you would like to advance. Whoever or whatever gets the most votes* advances to the next round. The loser goes home.
We're also bringing back our Ogle Madness Bracket Challenge! Simply email your championship pick to OgleMadness@gmail.com. If your selection wins, then you'll be entered into a drawing to win a $250 feast at Fassler Hall in Midtown or Tulsa. The deadline to enter is Tuesday at noon.
Here are the top 4 seeds in each region:
