Did anyone else fill out a bracket? I am a huge basketball fan and I love this time of year! Although my bracket is taking a serious beating this time around. I had Kansas taking it all and now they are out!

Are you watching? Who are you rooting for?
 
March Madness is big in this house! I did not, however, fill out a bracket this year and it's a good thing, too. I would've picked Kansas to win it all and my bracket would be shot. Since DH used to be the trainer there we, of course, are rooting for Baylor! First time in the Sweet 16, baby!
 
DH is a huge college basketball fan so I kind of am by default... Lol. I didn't fill out a bracket but being from Seattle, we're rooting for UW.

His work actually is paying for him to go to the Final Four in Indie so he is pretty excited about that. I'm staying home :(
 
OMG! We're still talking about the KS vs N. IA game! I had KS taking it all and my bracket is poo-poo!!!! I guess I'm going to have to root for KY to take it now.....keeping it all in the SEC! (SouthEastern Conference) Tons of upsets this year and many down to the last SECOND of the game. Love watching March Madness!
 
I always have fun with March Madness and DH and I usually fill out brackets together. This year we didn't since he is away for work, and like Les mentioned it's probably a good thing. We definitely didn't anticipate Kansas getting the boot so early.

I'm rooting for Baylor, too. I've got them in the Final Four.
 
Am I the only one who has absolutely NO idea what you are talking about?! :giggle I got the basketball bit, but brackets? March Madness? Think I need to google!
 
March Madness refers to the Nation wide University Basketball championship tournament here in the States. It's every year in March and people get really into it. Plus it is single elimination and the games are almost always extremely fast paced and close so I think that's where the madness term comes from. There are 64 teams total who can qualify for the tournament and there are 7 round (I think) so brackets are just what people fill out predicting who the winner if every game is going to be and who the final winner will be. Like I said people get really into it. Even President Obama fills out a bracket... Lol.
 
Baylor got some good Jungle karma today...the coach was on Jim Rome's radio show today. Which can only mean good things.

And I've already revealed new levels of my geekdom, so let's just leave it at that and don't worry about how I know that. Or how I know what "jungle karma" is. Or why I know it's a good thing.
 
Thank you Jamie! Now I might be able to follow this conversation a little!!! :lol Sounds like fun!
 
I am never more homesick than during March Madness. Not even Christmas makes me want to go home more. I want my college basketball!!
 
Jamie you did a great job explaining it! It's just a fun time of year for the sports fan!
