After taking the unprecedented step to cancel last year's tournament due to health and safety concerns presented by the totally overblown, media-driven panic surrounding the Coronavirus Pandemic, Ogle Madness – our beloved Oklahoma Cultural Tournament – is back again with Ogle Madness XIII!
Just like with the 12-editions before it, this year's tournament takes 64 Oklahoma people, places and things, and seeds them in an NCAA Tournament-style field. Each day, we post matchups on the site and let our readers vote for who or what they want to advance. The winner moves onto the next stage of the tournament, the loser goes home. After three weeks, 63 match-ups and lots of broken hearts later, we crown one champion.
Here is this year's bracket. Click the image to view a larger file of check out the PDF here:
