For starters, you were in chemistry. That's impressive on its own. I was once in chemistry....I remember very little about it. In fact, I remembered little shortly after the day class ended. Where was I... I have no doubt you're well aware of the very tangible connection between chemistry and the NCAA basketball tournament. It's complex and well beyond my scope of comprehension. The long and short of it: While you subtly watched the boys checking their brackets, little did they know that you were a matter of games away from crushing them. It's a woman thing...and you being a young woman, I dare say you could rule the basketball world with your ability. MUCH LOVE back to you! :-) Hi Brittany, so nice of you to drop by! :-)

So last year, no actually it must have been two years ago (It was the year the gators won I believe..I could be wrong but I think that's true) Anyway I was sitting in Chemistry, with several members of our JV basketball team at the time who were discussing and making up their brackets and I thought I'd get in on it. So I sat with them and made up my own personal bracket. Now in the years prior I had kind of dabbled in bracket making but never actually made one before the whole thing started (like I would pick up midway and end up doing pretty well :-)) Anyway, basically I had florida winning it all simply because I was thinking warm thoughts at the time...you know how it is early march especially in high school march was always the cold month with NO BREAKS!! (Our Spring Break always seemed to be the first week in April) So the point of this story is I won our little bracket championship and I think 30 dollars and i'll admit I never watched a game or checked highlights I would only know who won when I would sit in chemistry and the boys would be checking on their brackets. Anyway I will see you later this week I think. & this is proof that somebody in the fam actually does read your blog!! MUCH LOVE Haha…i enjoyed this.

I have long believed Tim Duncan chose Wake purely because of the Dancing with Daffodils factor. :-) Your love of Wake Forest has, I believe, propelled their basketball program to levels they never imagined they could reach.

I'm going to venture a guess right now: If you engage in a little Bracketology - and for any kids reading this, do NOT try Bracketology at home - you will crush him. I don't care if the man played the sport and follows it religiously. His bracket - your bracket? Done. Over. Finished. You will mop the floor with him.

She's sucking you in like a Hoover goes after dust. The old "suggestion" from the girlfriend . . . yeah, I know her type. Know 'em well. I married one. :-) And I FOLLOW the damn sport and she still beats me!! Mike, I’m begging you . . . do NOT play this game with her. She’s sucking you in like a Hoover goes after dust.

It's going to take tremendous self-control, but I'll do it. I may have to suppress the urges with shopping. (Who am I trying to kid? I've never "bracketed" a day in my life! But it sounds really fun!) In the interest of marital bliss (*cough*cough*) I shall refrain from all thoughts of bracketology. It’s going to take tremendous self-control, but I’ll do it.

I was laughing as I read this because my girlfriend has already suggested that I fill out a March Madness bracket. I don't really follow college basketball, so mine would be a total guess. She's ready to go, though. Maybe I should just take your advice here and avoid all the trouble.
