The last perfect bracket for the popular event of March Madnes, or the NCAA mens basketball tournament was busted in the second game of the sweet sixteen when the 3 seeded Purdue Boilermakers upset the 2 seeded Tennessee Volunteers. This bracket was made and owned proudly by 40 year old Gregg Nigl who wasn't even aware of his record setting bracket until he was contacted by NCAA themselves the Monday after the second round. Sadly however, after finding out about his record setting bracket at 49 wins, he was only able to cherish one more right pick in the sweet sixteen as Gonzaga was victorious over Florida State. Then his bracket was just like everyone elses in the world, busted. Nigl was even in attendance of the Purdue victory that busted his bracket.

What would you do if you found out you had a record setting bracket?
I would personally be extatic as I love the sport of basketball and March Madness if my favorite time of the year every year. I would figure out my options for prizes and choose wisely for not only myself, but my family as well.
Would you be more stressed or happy to find out that your bracket is busted?
I would be a mixture of both because yes, I finally don't have to sweat during every game of the tournament, however I lose my chances for winning any of the prizes for myself or relatives.

Good summary but be sure to reply on three differernt days. All of your replies were done on April 4th.
It is very stressful to watch all the games, especially the very close ones where I am bouncing off the walls screaming at the TV. I feel like I'd have a mixture of emotions.
If I had a record setting bracket I would be so excited I wouldn't know what to do first. I'd probably tell all my friends and everyone I know first then spend the money on things I need.
I would be so excited. It would be amazing. I would chose the prize for myself cause nobody helped me get it. I would be happy that it got busted after this much wins. It would be reliefe becase every game would be stressful cause your team would have to win. After it would brake i would enjoy the game other than stressing over my team.
I agree with you Tanner that it would be totally exciting to have a bracket to have made it this far, I also agree that it would be a relief when it broke as now I could just sit back and enjoy march madness.
It would be cool to have a perfect bracket and I would be excited about it because it would something that has not been done in a while. I would be sad that it was busted but I would not be stressed about it because now that is is busted I don't have to worry anymore.
I agree with you grace as it would be cool as it is something that hasnt been done in a while however would be a stress reliever as you wouldn't have to worry much about it anymore.
I would be really excited and I would think that, that would be really cool to have done something that no one could for many years. I would be stressed but also happy because the bracket mad it a decent way through the tournament but if it made it that far i would be dissapointed that they couln't go farther.
I agree with you joey, it would be a really neat experience to have done something that no one has ever done before and have your name written on a certain goal or acheivement that you accomplished.
I would be pretty amazed because I dont know anything about basketball so it would be pretty crazy if I just guessed all the right pics. I would be a little mad because I didn't win anything and I probably would have trash talked the team that ruined it for me pretty hard.
