Making their picks

We have arrived at one of my favorite weekends of the year!  I just love the 32 games in 36 hours, and then another 16 games on Saturday & Sunday.  We just love these games.  So far we've enjoyed the Notre Dame games, but we are looking forward to some upsets!  I'm especially hoping that Bucknell can find a way to pick off West Virginia and East Tenn St can take out Florida.

The kids picked their teams last night.  The bracket I had printed out didn't have records on them, so Robert actually got on-line and researched.  Catherine was marginally indifferent, but she filled out her bracket based entirely on seeding.  In other words, she has no upsets at all, and has all #1 seeds going through to the Final Four.  Thomas took the "Thomas approach", and I always love his optimistic heart.  His final game has Notre Dame taking on Dayton, and he just couldn't pick a winner between his two favorites (as an aside, I don't think he is going to have to).  With the exception of the games involving those two teams, he decided to put on the lines (which were rather short) the teams that could easily be abbreviated and would therefore fit on the line.  He always makes me smile!
