Every year during March Madness my entire family forms an online bracket group, fills out their brackets, and then competes for a dinner of their choice. I felt really good about my picks this year, as all of the match-ups seemed fairly obvious.
Let me tell you, I am sick of hearing announcers exclaim,
"__________ has won for the first time in school history/since 1932/since Abe Lincoln was president!"
I'm currently tied for fourth with my aunt and cousin.
However, I'm 99% positive I've picked the correct champion and final four teams. Everyone ahead of me seems to have picked unlikely upsets to win it all.
All in all, the best part is definitely the dinner at the end of the tournament. The family heads out to the winner's restaurant of choice and spends the night talking, laughing, celebrating, and making the occasional excuse for losing the bracket challenge. It reminds me that having fun... runs in my family.
But I still want to win.
