Bracket

So, you know, they announced all the teams for the Men’s NCAA Basketball tournament yesterday. Just about every guy I know is filling out their bracket. I will fill out two; the first one will be my honest but completely ignorant choices, and the second one will another completely honest but completely ignorant choices. (I have no real reason why I do two, other than the ESPN app I use makes it really easy to make multiple brackets.) I never have picked the National Champion, and my bracket is normally busted by the Elite Eight. But, it’s that time of year, and I guess the Tournament is just another mile post on road that is each year.

I found out recently that over March Madness is when most men get and recover from the vasectomies. Makes sense. If you are going to have to sit at home with a bag of frozen peas on your nuts, might as well spend all day watching basketball. Things you find out from friends who had vasectomies.

Anyway, I never really gave two craps about the Tournament until I got in college, and the guys in the theatre department (yes, you read that correctly) had a Bracket Pool thing. You’d chip in five buck, fill out a bracket, and whomever got the most wins won the pot. It was fun, and made watching some the games interesting. Pretty much after that, it became something to do when this time of year rolls around.

I’m going with Gonzaga. This will be my second year in a row picking them, but my thought is that it’s got to land eventually. Right?
