Dear Andrews family and friends, and friends of friends!
Alas, that glorious time of year has finally once again arrived, where talks of 5-12 match-ups abound, and painful worrying over who will win each 8-9 seed contest fill our minds! March Madness is finally HERE, the Big Dance! Will Cinderella's foot fit the glass slipper in 2011? Is Duke a lock to win it all, again? Can SDSU really make the Final Four? Will The Jimmer of BYU somehow find his way through the bracket to a rematch against Florida?
Please, JOIN in my favorite holiday this time around! 30 people joined the group last year, and this year there's no reason not to become even bigger and better than ever! With Duke edging out surprising Butler on a last-second miss, Wendy Chapman won it all last year, finishing in the 99th percentile nationally and just ahead of Star. The prior two winners were Doug Abenroth and Lauren.
As before, emails and bloggings shall keep you informed of just how smart you are. Or at least how bold your picks prove you to be. We love our friends and family that take 20 minutes to at least fill out a bracket and give it the ol' college try (pun intended). It can be fun! Just ask Tyler, who finished 4th last year (darn Kansas), or Bryant, who has only played twice in his lifetime but has beat me both times. WINNING! http://4throckfromthesun.blogspot.com/2010/04/we-have-winner.html
