CONTEST WINNER.

I know you have all been waiting with baited breath-
The winner is- Kettler!!

The contest was really close until the final four.
Kettler was the ONLY participant with both Michigan State and UNC in the finals with UNC as the champion!

CONGRATS Kettler!

Thank you everyone for playing!

My apologies for not posting the winner sooner, things have been horrible.
Work computer troubles and Bailey is really sick.
We're just spending as much time with her as we can because lets face it she's 12 and who knows what can happen.

I'm just praying it will pass so I can have a little bit more time with the old broad.

;)

Let the Madness BEGIN- CONTEST TIME!!!!!!!

It's my favorite time of year.... MARCH MADNESS.
Those of you that have been keeping up with me over the years.... you've noticed that I am a little obsessed with my bracket.

It's been about 12 hours since the selections were made for this years tourney..... and I am once again, doing research, talking to friends and freaking out over who will win this years dance. Now last year I managed to pick all 4 final four teams, both final teams and the winner, which is why I am awfully puzzled as to why I did not write about it..... Needless to say this year I have some pretty high expectations.

Since I know many of you out there love the Tourney... and admit it some of you could careless- I have decided to make things a little more interesting for you all- with a contest (!!)

Here are the rules:

1. Go to this link. Fill out a bracket. ** Note I changed the link to make it easier for everyone.
2. Come up with a crazy team name.... this part is optional- but fun!
3. E-mail me your bracket by 11:00 AM EST on Thursday March 19th in order to be considered for the prize.
4. Points will be awarded as follows-

• First Round correct pick- 1 point
• Second Round Correct pick- 2 points
• Sweet 16 Correct pick- 4 points
• Elite 8 Correct pick- 6 points
  
• Final Four Correct Pick- 8 points
• Championship Correct Pick- 10 points
• CHAMPION Correct Pick- 20 points

I know it's confusing... but don't worry about all the details. Leave that up to me.

The tourney begins Thursday and the Championship game is April 6th....So I will update you all with you totals at the end of each round.

So go forth!
And Pick.
Oh the prize.... I almost forgot.
The winner will get a $75 gift card that can be used at Old Navy, GAP and Banana Republic.

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???!!!!!!!!
