Before we begin with the madness, lets review some things:

• Elyse Downs defeated Brianna DeCassios in The Ogle Madness Play-In Game.  Elyse will play Sam Bradford on Wednesday.

• One of our readers felt sorry for the original Ogle Madness II Logo and designed the one you see above.   I guess it will work…unless someone can design a better one.  Maybe we should have an Ogle Madness Logo Design Contest.
