We are not a political blog. However, when politics and MSU basketball clashes, we bend the rules.
Former United States president Barack Obama filled out his bracket and tweeted it out for the world — and his 101 million Twitter followers — to see. And you know who he has winning it?
That’s right — the Michigan State Spartans.
Just because I have more time to watch games doesn’t mean my picks will be better, but here are my brackets this year: https://t.co/ETRchPcZxF pic.twitter.com/gnNXw0Ysxr

On one hand, thanks Obama! On the other hand...he picked us in 2014. We did not win in 2014.
If MSU doesn’t win the whole thing this year, it’s official. We have ourselves an Obama jinx.
Side note: How does this guy always have the most boring brackets? Look at that Sweet 16. All one-through-four seeds! Come on, Barack! Jazz it up a little bit, yeesh.
