Bracket Schmacket

It all started when we picked our alma mater to win in the first round. Somehow it felt disloyal not to (ahem JANEAL :)). We're true blue, through and through and thought our Cougars, who turned out the likes of Danny Ainge, would win at least ONE game.

As I researched the teams to complete my bracket I tried to use my "third eye" to find my champions. When I heard Syracuse beat UConn in a six overtime game I thought I'd found it. A team with hunger. A team that could take down the giant. My underdog that would surely win it all (this is America after all) and secure my bracket.

So BYU fell almost before they started. One of my coworkers even stopped by my desk to convey his condolences. As you can see Liesel was pretty torn up about it as well. Then Arizona won (WHAT?!?!?). Then it was just a blood bath with Memphis, Duke, Wake Forest and Pitt losing. My brackets are obliterated. There's almost no point in watching anymore. What really kills me is seeing Brent like this. Basketball is his thing, and it's like the game just spit in his face. It's so sad... so very sad.

Well, my BYU education taught me to be realistic and apply previous performances and history to my formal thoughts...Hence my abject "disloyalty"... :) But my victory comes with a price, literally, as I am the idiot that said whoever wins buys churros! On second thought, buying churros is worth it! BAM BABY!! Do I know how to choose them or what?!?! By the way, where did you get the adorable BYU cheerleader outfit? I want one for Andrea!!!

My bracket's toast too.

Looking forward to my churro!
