March Madness

It's my favorite time of year in sports, MARCH MADNESS!

Last year I won my office pool, but this year I'm not feeling very optimistic since I barely followed college basketball. The games are still so exciting though and once again my alma mater, Mizzou, is in the big dance so I'm happy. Plus, filling out a bracket gives me someone to root for in every single game making any match-up a little more fun to watch.

I always have Mizzou go at least two rounds in my bracket, even if it's against my better judgement, but can I really have them beating #2 seed powerhouse West Virginia in the second round? I don't think so. Some experts have West Virginia in the Final Four, so I'm just not sure. And what is with our arch-rival kU being the #1 one seed?? I just can't have this. I can't put them in my Final Four and still feel good about myself.

Just like last year, I'm having a struggle between my heart and my head again. Which will prevail? I'm not sure, but they only have until tomorrow to battle it out!

Heart vs Head

I'm currently first place in my March Madness bracket at work with UConn playing North Carolina in the final game. A very likely scenario.

My head wants me to root for UConn... but my heart says root for my alma mater, the Missouri Tigers. The mushy side of me is reminded of this lyric from the Counting Crows song Omaha, "Get right to the heart of matters, It's the heart that matters more." And even though my head would love the money, a great upset is what March Madness is all about!

So I guess the heart wins! GO TIGERS!
