It's the most wonderful time of the year! March Madness is upon us again. This year's family picks reflect the level of interest and serious nature of the selection process.
David - Two years ago, he produced a bracket that took 70th place, out of over 18 million entries, only to be thwarted by his 17 year old sister and 5 year old daughter last year. This year his picks reflect trust in defense, experienced big men and quick guard play.
Melissa - Picked the teams that were the easiest and fastest to write. David was less than pleased.
Maggie - Based decisions on 1) team / cheerleader uniforms 2) rank 3) familiarity. "Since BYU has the most modest cheerleader outfits, they will win because God is on their side, right Dad?" "Only eternally darling, only eternally."
Tim - Completely random.
Ami - Whichever team was easier to say.
Susanna - We would read two teams. If the right arm twitched first, the first team got choosen, if the left arm twitched first, the second team, if she fell asleep, she got a cold hand to the back of the neck, and that would cover about 7 or 8 more picks of twitching. Amazingly, (not joking) she ended up picking BYU to lose in the final to Texas A & M. hm...
Let the games begin. Now how much sick leave have we saved up? ...

I was actually 16 at the time, which makes it a little worse I think.
I wish Maggie's way had worked... That is awesome. One of these days I'll do the bracket thing.
