Ogle Madness XI: East Region, Upper Bracket

Spring is in the air, which means a lot of things –patio season, tornadoes, and your Instagram feed filling up with your friend's cheesy wedding photography where they're awkwardly posing in a public park somewhere.

It also means the eleventh edition of Ogle Madness, where you, the dear reader, will choose who is the greatest, uh, Oklahoman? The winner will join our hallowed pantheon with other former champions like Russell Westbrook, that other player who we don't like anymore, Gary England, Lacey Swope, Emily Sutton and even something called a Lauren Richardson. Basically, if you're an NBA star or a television meteorologist, the odds are pretty stacked in your favor.

With that tip in mind, we're running a bracket contest. Fill out your official Ogle Madness XI and email it OgleMadness@gmail.com by 11:59pm tonight for your chance to win a $250 feast for you and your friends to Fassler Hall. Maybe you can convince the champion to join you for dinner, but we highly discourage referring to it as a "sausage party."

Today, we'll be going through the East Region. First, we'll start with the Upper Bracket. Let's check out the match-ups:

(1) Panhandling Teacher vs (16) Oklahoma Lawmakers

(8) Mick Cornett vs (9) Todd Lamb

(4) Weather Dongs vs (13) Kirk Humphreys

(5) Quail Creek Fuck and Float vs (12) Mary Fallin

The first match-up is pretty juicy. We're likely to see these two face off in real life pretty soon, so let's see if we can predict the winner!
