Brackification

So March Madness is here and every fiber of my being is aching to just let it go one time. No brackets, no checking my phone every 5 minutes, and no heartbreak. But alas the siren call of the NCAA Tourney has lured me to her sharp rocks of pain and I'm knee deep already in it all. I have cut back from my usual 2-3 brackets to just 1. However I do have to admit I am working to pass on the torment to my kids. Last night we had them fill out their own brackets. Good ol' Sam had his eye on the prize as he picked his brackets very carefully. Here is his Final Four in a nutshell for all you "Bracketologists" out there.
1. Utah- He's heard of them so why not.
2. BYU- Always the faithful Cougar that boy
3. American- I have no idea why...maybe patriotism
4. Stephen F Austin- Because he has a friend named Steven at school.

So good luck Sam, and good luck to the rest of you weary travelers in search of the perfect bracket. Oh and best of luck to President Obama's bracket. Wouldn't want the fate of the union in someones hand who can't pick a decent bracket.
