The first round never fails to disappoint, right? And this year was no exception. I loved seeing a fellow MAC team (Ohio) beat a powerhouse team (Virginia). And typical for the Big Ten, several teams didn’t live up to their expectations and lost in the first round.
For our family pool, Grandpa, Grandma, and Karen are leading the way. Chris already lost his championship team (Texas) and is in fourth place. Damon is glad that he took Daddy’s advice to remove Purdue from the final game. He sits semi-happy in fifth place. And Avery and I are at the back of the pack.
