I am, of course, referring to March Madness, the 64 team tournament to decide the best college basketball team in the country.
Yesterday, I puzzled over my brackets. I wrote it in pencil so if I changed my mind, I could easily make corrections. And also to change my picks back to where they were originally if I began to have second or third thoughts.
All season long my dear, sweet wife and I followed Grand Canyon University, led by their fine coach, Bryce Drew. This is the third consecutive year that he has taken the team to the tourney. Last year GCU won its first round game and had Alabama on the ropes, so to speak, before losing a close game.
Again, I expect GCU to do a first round upset of Maryland. After that, I'm not so sure. I might pray for their success but I don't really think that God has His own bracket showing GCU winning the national championship. I'm sure there are more important prayer requests that God must consider.
I've rearranged my office/man cave so that my recliner is set right in front of the TV. All I need is a glass of iced tea and some pretzels and I'm ready to go. May your brackets be clean and your wi-fi never go out!
