Madness

It's March, therefore, the madness of the NCAA tournament is about to begin. I approach college basketball the same way I approach professional baseball. That is, I don't care about it until the end. (And really, even then I don't really "care", just pay more attention.) B and I were going to have a friendly competition this year--we were each going to fill out brackets with a pedicure and a bucket of tennis balls on the line--and we each had our own strategy. B, who actually pays attention all season to college basketball, was going to give it his all and try to systemically fill out his bracket using the most high-tech forms of bracketology available. I, on the other hand, was going to base my winners entirely on which mascot I thought would win in a fight.

Last night, my dad emailed out a bracket challenge to the family with a prize better than a pedicure on the line. So, I used a little logic (and B's bracket for reference) and filled out a bracket to enter in the Olson NCAA challenge. See our predictions below. Let the madness commence!

(Funny, even with my mascot method, I still had the Duke Blue Devils winning it all. Because seriously, what would beat a blue devil? It's a blue devil. It is not of this world.)
