I’ve never been a basketball guy. Under six foot with a 3-inch vertical leap, I’ve never played. I tried coaching my kids in the church basketball league and realized that they had passed my skill level as they entered their first-grade team. I’d taught them all I knew.
I know doing a bracket for the NCAA Men’s Basketball tourney is a thing guys do. I put bracket together on ESPN on a whim. I picked some sure-things and some upsets. I picked NC State to go all the way, because, prior to my daughter settling on UNC as her destination in the fall, I had no dog in the fight.
Here we are, half-way through the sweet-16, and my bracket is still going strong! I’ve 99.9% accuracy and I’m almost in the top 200 brackets! Crazy! There’s no money to be won and nothing I gain by the random stroke of luck, but it definitely had made the tournament a lot more fun to watch.
Let’s see if NC State can continue their run! Who knows! Why not them?
