March Madness

People say that the best time of the year is Christmas time. As far as sports fans are concerned that is a lie. This week marks the beginning of one of sports most sacred holidays, March Madness. This is the only time of the year when family and friends band together in the spirit of friendly competition to see who can predict the totally unpredictable.

Every year my family has the “Theurer Family March Madness Competition” and everyone participates. Even my niece and nephew join in. When my nephew was one and a half years old his dad held up cards with the team names and let him pick his brackets that way. Needless to say, it gets pretty intense.

I however have yet to claim the chalice of glory that is first place. I have been in the top three and I think one year I came in second but never first, until this year. This will be the year that I take the Theurer family bracket glory and earn the ever so coveted bragging rights.

Wish me luck!
