This post is just a formality because we’ve already announced that Grandma won our family pool. It was quite a feat for the Big Ten to bring home the championship trophy from both the men’s tournament and the women’s tournament. We always love seeing the Big Ten succeed in the national spotlight.
As for our family pool, Grandma had an incredible record of 46-17. I finished in second place with only 41 games chosen correctly. To compare, last year Karen won our trophy with a record of 42-21. Grandma really put us all in our places this year! Well done, Grandma!
Avery has requested a trophy for the last place finisher. I don’t think that will happen. But if it did, her name would be all over it! Ha!
