As expected, the Big Ten really disappointed us in the second round. I think most of us have realized that it’s not a good idea to choose Big Ten teams to go past the second round! Chris is leading our family bracket pool. Will he finally win the trophy that was all his idea 11 years ago? Karen and Avery are tied for second place. You have no idea how excited Avery is about her performance this year! I am tied with Grandma and Damon for fourth place. And poor Grandpa is bringing up the rear. Damon said he feels sorry for Grandpa this year because he usually does so well on his brackets!
