Mom (Jo) leads after Day 1 of Round 1 of the 2011 NCAA Tournament. And if you're wondering if it's a misprint... it's not. She correctly guessed 15 of the 16 games. That's right, the only one she missed was the outcome of the Wisconsin vs. Belmont game.
She went from simply asking if she could just send the winner money to being in first place after day one. You're welcome, Mom, for making you fill out a bracket.
All she had to say, "Well, I'll be damned!"
In other news, Bradley (your favorite relative) is tied for last place. Again, not a typo, although I understand that you all must have initially thought so. If it weren't for the play-in rounds, he would have been dead last. Ouch. And I sense a collective cheer from everyone right now. And shame on you!
Day 1 Standings:
I hope Day 2 turns out much better (for me!)!
In other news, I'm proud to present to you Allison's new hat (see picture)! Oh wait, am I mistaken?! Is that... a NORTH CAROLINA hat?! I believe it is. (And Uncle Brad did not buy it for her, she made that decision all on her own!!!) Well, look at that. Am I seeing another Tar Heel in the making in this family? I sure hope so! Ali, don't let your Mom and Dad talk you out of going there. And when you want to take your college visit you let me know when and Uncle Brad will make sure to go too and show you around Chapel Hill! Is this what happiness feels like? I think so!

ReplyDeleteAs for the hat...whatever......Hey does Allison realize that her Uncle Brad (Tar Heel LOVER) chose THE Ohio State Buckeye's to BEAT his Wonderful Tar Heel's? How is that for loyal?
Well all I have to say is that this is a bunch of crap!!!!!!!!!!!! I should not be losing!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTechnically you're not losing, losing... I'm currently in last place... Does that make you feel better, Nathaniel?
