March MADNESS

Never having joined in the on the “March Madness” that is the NCAA tournament, I didn’t know what I was in for. Rachelle suggested we make a Victory pool and open it up to anyone interested for a chance to win a years worth of volleyball registration. I know nothing about America College Basketball so I figured I would just pick teams that I recognized and cities that I like J. I never realized how into it and obsessed I would become until the first games started yesterday. I was constantly checking scores, filling in the bracket results and looking at the standings. I started off well and by a few games in, I was in first place. This made me even more excited and I was telling everyone around me how well I was doing. An hour later, I was in 7^th place. On the first couple days, I’ve learned there are so many games that you can move from first to last in a matter of minutes. Now I am eagerly (and impatiently) anticipating the start of the next round of games to start.  Maybe next year, I’ll base my choices a bit more on research and notsomuch on the cities I like (ahem, Northern Colorado). I’m still rooting for Duke to win it all though! GO DUKE!
