It is March Madness time. That time of the year when friends ask me if I am filling out a bracket to which I explain why I will not. It is not as if I have never filled one out. I have worked at several places over the year where everyone did, and they would come by your desk every hour asking you if you were finished yet and wouldn’t leave you alone until you put it up on the wall. Then like it was some mystical creature people would stare at the wall of brackets looking and making comments about the choices people had made. Comments like, “what was Jeff thinking? That team has no chance to get to the round of sixteen let alone to the final.” Grown men sitting around prognosticating on a subject they are only less likely to actually be able to predict than the paid prognositators on TV. Every year it goes somethig like this, one team which by all accounts has no business playing that well, does. They go for a while and upset most everybodies brackets except one person who decided to fill one out based on cities they have visited or colors in state flags. They take it really far but in the end a very good team chocked full of players which will soon be in the NBA making more money than a basketball player should will win the whole thing, and they will be one of the hand full of teams which programs are always there. I would probably be more enthusiastic to be involved if teams from schools who never win anything had a chance, but it looks like it will just be another year of the same, so I will sit it out.
