As I have continued to look through old Fargo Brackets I found this to be a particularly interesting and amazing bracket to look over. While it doesn't have quite the level of insanity in terms of guys who didn't place, I think the order of placers and the quality of the top 8 make this a bona fide Crazy Fargo Bracket!

Today we look over 2011 Junior 119.

But before we dive ALL the way in, don't miss Jordan Burroughs On Flo Radio Live Today (Thursday) at 10 AM CT!

Top Half:
Thomas Gilman - 7-0 on the top side beating Rami Haddadin, Paul Petrov, Cory Clark, Jered Cortez and Max Hvolbek.
Cory Clark - 7-1 with the lone loss to Hawkeye teammate Gilman. Clark knocked off Matt Manley and Jered Cortez for the runner up finish in this half.

Max Hvolbek - 5-2 falling to Cortez and Gilman. Hvolbek knocked off Vito Pasone and Max Byrd to All American.

Bottom Half:

So the DNP's were not AS absurd, but still fairly brutal considering. One thing that these other brackets we've posted have had is a bit more time for us to truly recognize and appreciate how stacked they were. This one will be like a fine wine, only improving with age. I just couldn't wait for this one. In a few years how many NCAA titles and All American finishes will we have between Garrett, Clark, Gilman, Peters, Cortez, Terao, Lambert and Silver? I'm thinking quite a few. This one is crazy now, but will only get crazier as time goes by.
