VCU capitalizes on its Final Four run with clever new T-shirt

If Virginia Commonwealth alums and fans want a T-shirt to commemorate the 11th-seeded Rams' miracle run to the Final Four, the school has given them plenty of options from which to choose.
No less than 30 T-shirts are now available for purchase on the school's website this week, one of which is one of the coolest tourney shirts we've seen and should be an especially hot seller. The T-shirt features a crumpled piece of paper and a VCU logo on the front with the slogan "There goes my bracket!"
It's safe to say that nobody will accuse VCU of false advertising based on that motto.
With its shocking 71-61 upset of top-seeded Kansas in the Elite Eight, VCU became only the third double-digit seed to make the Final Four, joining George Mason in 2006 and LSU in 1986.
Less than 3,000 of the three million entrants in Yahoo! Sports' NCAA tournament Pick'Em game selected VCU to make the Final Four. Not one Yahoo! entrant had the correct four teams in the Final Four and only two contestants in the ESPN bracket game had a perfect Final Four.
If VCU somehow manages to win two more games and cut down the nets in Houston on Monday, the bracket carnage gets even worse. The number of Yahoo! contestants who picked VCU to win the championship is so negligible that it's less than one hundredth of one percent of the three million entries.
