Musing on My Bracket’s Obliteration.
I hadn’t blogged about my bracket because things were going so well.
I started out in a group of 146. After hitting 33.3 percent the first day and landing at number 126 — I clawed my way to one of three who sat at number four.
I’m not number four anymore. I’m number 14. My position will surely plummit further since
Neither of my final two teams remain.
Hate it when that happens.
Florida lost.
I’d like to say I’m one of these people who cares passionately for their team — but can watch other games and enjoy the competition.
I’ll probably glance at the remaining tournament, but when something is so close…
I’m not mature enough to stand back and give it a “for the love of basketball” watch.
No matter what great stories the other teams are or how awesome the games.
It’s just not the same.
And neither is my bracket.
But that’s the silver lining to all this. I lay my 2011 bracket down — leaving it to swirl around the digital wasteland of obsolete data clogging up cyberspace.
I wish all remain teams, fans, people with brackets that shine — the best.
In my little corner, this chapter closes with these parting words.
Next time feed Macklin. Of course there won’t be a next time because he’s a SENIOR.
Still great to be a Gator.
Amen brother. But that was tough.
This comment is to thank you for your loving article on my relative Hattie Mina Hickey that i just ran across. She is awesome and I learned much from it. My late mother is from Madison and donated Heritage Hall for it’s current use. I have sent you a friend request on Facebook to keep up with what is going on in Madison. Could not message you on FB.
Blessings,
Fletcher Law
P. S. I got 2 of 4 in the final 4 bracket. Would have had 3 of 4 if the Gators had a last second shot play.
Wow. 2 of the Final Four. That puts you in rarified air this year. Thanks for the nice note. Hattie Mina is a great lady and also was very kind to me.
[…] all the blood-letting, after all the tears, my bracket bottomed out […]
