March Madness

It's tradition. There winner gets a prize, like picking a date night of their choice. I know I have a losing record with my brackets to Chris', but I KNOW I won at least once. He says I haven't, and I have nothing to prove otherwise.

So here we are again. I refuse to listen to the experts on "bracketology," I don't see how you can be an expert. Any team can win and lose at any time, so it's not really a science. I love cheering for the underdog. And why wouldn't I pick my beloved Cougars to go all the way? Who says they can't? This is as good a year as any, in my opinion. And as a true blue fan, I will always believe. JIMMER'D!

Chris takes the brackets very serious. He pays close attention to all the teams in the country throughout the season, and very carefully makes his selections. He throws in some upsets to mix it up. He won't tell me his strategy for his selections, but it must be complex. It takes him hours.
Me? Well, I choose my favorite first of all, then have my own system from there, working backwards. Like if I don't like the schools' colors, they lose. If I've heard of the school in another sport, like football, and think they are overrated, they lose. I hate the teams that every year are always listed in the top 10 because their programs have amazing successful reputations. Blah.
It takes me 3 minutes to fill mine out.

Let the fun begin!

The husband and I totally need to do this. This looks like so much fun. And I'd better get cracking! Tick tock, tick tock!
