March Madness... in May

Let me start by saying that I did a fantastic job of getting this post up in a timely manner. Let me continue by saying that I followed March Madness this year with much more interest than I usually do. Due in no small part to A&M's high seeding, etc. (That was awesome how I ended one sentence with the word "do" and then started another with the word "Due" back there.) I filled out a bracket which I hadn't done in a couple of years and even got Amy and Jack to do the same. Here are our results a month later...

By round-
Jeremy: 24/32 .. 11/16 .. 6/8 .. 1/4 .. 0/2 .. 0/1
Amy: 21/32 .. 8/16 .. 3/8 .. 0/4 .. 0/2 .. 0/1
Jack: 15/32 .. 6/16 .. 1/8 .. 1/4 .. 0/2 .. 0/1

(Translation: I correctly predicted 24 of the 32 teams to make it into the 2nd round, 11 of the 16 teams in the Sweet 16, etc.)

It was quite an ordeal getting Jack to make a pick for 63 games. But I was persistent and after a few days we had his bracket filled out entirely. It was one of the more pointless things I've done with my son, so I had Amy record it so I could upload it. Done and done. He had already made quite a few predictions by this point so he was pretty tired of it...



I always leave the Jack video-posting to Amy, but since I did this one I'm going to go ahead and do another. This video finds Jack in a particularly crazy mood, with random bouts of sitting and standing and quasi-yelling. It also features one of the sweeter scene exits at the end of the clip. See for yourself...
