Obama picks Cornell over Temple
options
 

I think I know where this is going, and rather fast...

We learned yesterday that President Obama has Villanova in his Final Four. Today we got the rest of the bracket, and Obama has Temple losing to Cornell in the first round.

You can see Obama's bracket here. ESPN has made the video of his bracket breakdown with Andy Katz embeddable, so I'll put it right here for you to watch.

Then I will run for the hills.

    This was a tough one for me because of the 5 12 seeding. But after I saw that Fran Dunphy is 22 and 1 against former assistants I had to go with Temple.

    Who the F cares about his brackets? Doesn't that clown have anything better to do, like maybe run the country?

    I could care a less about the President's picks. However it is somewhat interesting to learn that there seems to be no boundries regarding the disrespect towards Temple.

About Jonathan Tannenwald
I fell in love with the Big 5 at first sight upon moving to Philadelphia in 2002. At various points in my journalistic career, I've covered all six of the region's Division I teams. During that time, I've eaten many soft pretzels from the Palestra's concession stands, which is how this blog got its name.

I write primarily about the University of Pennsylvania and the Ivy League, but I also cover the other basketball and football teams across the city from time to time. In the spring, you'll find coverage of the Penn Relays here.

In addition to all of that, I write Philly.com's soccer blog, The Goalkeeper.
