March Madness and is it ever!
March Madness
I love this time of the year. This is when all the “experts” come out of the woodwork and start talking about college basketball and predicting who will win the NCAA Championship, and who will be the Cinderella teams, when they are as clueless as the rest of us. So here is my story….. My wife gets home from her trip to NYC on Sunday morning and as we are sitting around the lunch table she and my daughter are talking to my son and I about there trip and what they saw. And asked them if they saw Madison Square Garden, and then the subject of “selection Sunday” came up and my wife asked me if Pastor Andy was going to do his yahoo “pick em” league this year I told her I guess so, she said well if he does I want in. She gave me her ID name and she would give her brackets in a day or two. She has done this before but has been beaten like a government mule. But she seemed a little more determined this year. Well last night I came down stairs and was getting ready to make supper. I noticed my wife and daughter was sitting on the couch a talking, I also noticed that ESPN was on TV and Digger and the boys were on talking about the tournament. Now normally in our household when flipping through the channels for some reason ESPN is the channel that zooms by the quickest. (That’s when my wife has control of the remote) J. So I thought ok well she is starting to take an interest in sports with me and that was cool. Now keep in mind I am fixing supper so I am preoccupied with what I am doing. Then all of a sudden I start getting peppered with questions like “what is the mascot of Temple”, “what are the school colors of Georgetown”, and “what is a Tar heel” I thought it was a test of my knowledge of college basketball, and was doing pretty good and was feeling…. well a little special cause I thought in my man’s head my wife is finally taking a interest in sports with me. Was I wrong! My wife and daughter are on the couch making their picks for the tournament, based on what I am answering and what she is hearing on ESPN and in some way assimilating all this information and filling our her brackets. So I guess I was impressed in a new way of what March “Madness” really is. As much as I love her she is going to be burnt like toast!
