March Madness - Who's in your Final Four?
I will be completely honest with you here...I don't watch basketball all season - until now. I love March Madness. Maybe it's something to look forward to after a long winter or just the fun of talking with everyone to see who they have in their Final Four and talking some smack. I even took my brackets with me to follow along while I was in labor with my oldest (who's b-day is next week).
I have been participating in some sort of NCAA basketball pool since high school. I don't know much about the teams. I sort of go off the standings and then I just guess - sometimes I pick a school because I like their name (like Gonzaga) or because they just always seem to dominate in these tournaments (like North Carolina). I usually do ok - I even won one year.
This year I am in two pools - one at work and one that my sister runs. My mom and my dad participate in my sister's pool, so it's sort of fun to talk with them and compare. I even

So, I won't bore you with my whole brackets, but I will tell you that in one pool I have Louisville taking it all and in the other I have North Carolina.
Do you love March Madness? Who do you have picked to win it all?

That's really funny about your mom.
I don't follow sports at all so this is really all completely new and foreign to me.
I was hoping Memphis would lose that game because I picked that as one of my upset games. Oh well, I picked Gonzaga to go all the way simply because they have a lot of good players rather than just one or two. They seem feisty too, although they got me a little scared when they started off so slow yesterday. I picked them to win it all. I play in our office pool--we have 109 people in it so the pot is big and they give several cash prizes along the way too. My husband picked is with your mom on Memphis.
I didn't do a bracket this year, but am so glad my alma mater, UD won their first game for the first time in 19 years - squee! ;)
