She did it again. She beat me.
For the past few years, my friend Mikey has hosted an online tournament for March Madness as well as the college football bowl games. And each year I've carefully analyzed the matchups, agonized over my picks, and delivered a sheet that has fared...decently. Rather than having Kristen help me with my bracket this year, Kristen and I each made our own picks. And this year...my wife, who knows no other college team than Michigan State, has beaten me twice!
Last night as our brackets came to a grinding halt with victories from Memphis and Kansas (we both had UCLA winning it all), our final scores reflect 259 for her...248 for me. And while she'll finish around 37th and me around 41st (out of 72), that's still four places in front of me. But let's back up to the college bowl pick tournament a couple of months ago. After all was said and done I finished a respectable 14th. Not bad. Where did she finish? Number ONE!!! Yeah, not only did she beat me, she also beat out every other football enthusiast to win the tournament (and Mikey, we're still waiting on that dinner you promised).
But I'm really proud of my Cutie for doing well. It's fun to see her get so excited about games she would otherwise care less about.
So, maybe next year we'll go back to one bracket. And I'll be the one helping her fill it out.
(Yeah Michigan State.)

So I filled out a March Madness bracket for the first time this year in my Career Class pool...finished 10th...out of 10. Yeah, it was pretty bad. But you do tend to follow it more when you've made picks, that's for sure!
