Twitter strikes again.  I thought this was another example of a horrible start to a Twitter career.  Looks like the joke is on all of us.

Over $12 BILLION worldwide expected to be wagered on NCAA Tournament
That’s
more action combined than on the Super Bowl!
Less than 1% of worldwide sports
betting occurs in Nevada

Over 100 million people expected to take part in
tournament bracket contests!

Perfect
Bracket Odds:
There are 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 possible brackets
(9.2 quintillion)
That's the number nine follow by eighteen zeros!
That’s
ONE MILLION times bigger than 9 TRILLION!

Some examples of just how big
this number is:

If everyone on the
planet each randomly filled out a bracket, the odds would be over ONE BILLION to
1 against any person having a perfect bracket.

If one bracket per
second was filled out, it would take 292 BILLION years to fill out all possible
brackets (that's 20 times longer than the universe has existed).

If all
the people on earth filled out one bracket per second, it would take over 43
years to fill out every possible bracket.

If all possible
brackets were stacked on top of each other (on standard paper), the pile would
reach from the moon and back over 1.1 million times.

All possible brackets
(on standard paper) would weigh 90,000 times more than every man, women, and
child on earth combined.

Even if a person had a
90% chance of winning each game he picked, his odds would still be 763 to 1
against picking a perfect bracket.

68 vs. 64 teams:
The calculations
above assume a 64 team bracket – if expanded to consider 68 teams, multiple the
figures by 4.

Oklahoma State Pro Day Recap

Randle’s 4.51 in the 40 a substantial improvement from his 4.63 at the NFL Combine.

 STILLWATER, Okla. – The Oklahoma State football team held its annual Pro Day in Boone Pickens Stadium Tuesday and running back Joseph Randle headlined the action by running the 40-yard dash in 4.51 seconds, a mark that was substantially better than the 4.63 he recorded at the NFL Combine.

 To put Randle’s 4.51 into perspective, only five running backs ran faster times at the NFL Combine.

 "I knew I had it in me, I just hope they watch the film, too,” Randle said. “I think they would be happy if they saw the film."

 Only four running backs at the Combine had better marks in the 60-yard shuttle than Randle’s 11.49 from Tuesday and only seven had faster times in the 20-yard shuttle than Randle’s 4.20.

 Randle was one of 18 Cowboys performing Tuesday in front of a group of scouts representing 25 different NFL teams. Included in that group of Cowboys was Hubert Anyiam, who finished his college career in 2011 and spent time with both the San Diego Chargers and the Carolina Panthers this past season.

 The fastest 40-yard dash time of the day came from Anyiam, who was clocked at 4.48. Randle’s 4.51 was the second-fastest with Isaiah Anderson third at 4.57.

 Nobody got a bigger reaction from the group on hand during the course of the day than Lane Taylor, who bench-pressed 225 pounds 31 times. Only six players performed more reps at the Combine.  Taylor’s fellow offensive line mate, Evan Epstein, recorded 29 bench-press reps with DeJuan Davis achieving 26.

 "Hitting 31 reps was good. It was definitely how I wanted to start the day. It was definitely a motivator,” Taylor said. "It was pretty nerve-racking when we first started, but I kind of settled in and had a good pro day."

 Anderson had the best vertical leap of the Cowboy group at 37 ½ inches, a mark that would have placed him fifth among wide receivers at the Combine. Both Anyiam and Brodrick Brown were measured at 35 inches in the vertical leap and Randle reached 34 ½ inches.

 Alex Elkins, Ryan Robinson and Cooper Bassett all enjoyed solid all-around performances with strong marks across the board. Elkins recorded 21 bench-press reps, had a 34-inch vertical and a 10-3 broad jump. Robinson had 20 bench-press, had a 33-inch vertical leap and broad-jumped 9-10 and Bassett bench-pressed 23 reps, had a 33-inch vertical leap and broad-jumped 9-3.
