March Madness!

For those of you who don't know, it is the beginning of March madness! March madness is a time when people who enjoy basketball or just enjoy making or even losing money have a blast. This month ESPN analysts believe there are going to be AT LEAST 60 million brackets being filled out. The madness of the basketball tournament is that on any given day any given team could win. It's all about the underdogs, the buzzer beaters, the upsets, and most of all, competing with your friends to win money. I recently watched a segment on sports center and it showed how people fill out their brackets. Some pick the top seeds to go all the way. Some pick all the teams that the school's colors are red to go all the way. Some pick their favorite schools regardless of talent. Some research every game and every statistics to make sure they make the right pick. Some even pick the teams that have birds as mascots to go all the way! Personally, no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to get a perfect bracket but that's the beauty of the tournament. Everything is unexpected and you start cheering for your picks to do well even though two weeks ago you would have never thought about watching their games before. I can't wait for it to begin and am so excited because this Sunday is selection Sunday and then the tournament begins! Hopefully I can win some money this year because I usually lose!
