March Madness - Final Four Time!

Oh How the Mighty Have Fallen!
My precious single-digit standing in the Ninetyandnine NCAA basketball pool slipped out of reach Friday. After proudly proclaiming my 9th place standing, apparently some of my team picks didn’t come through. (I don’t know which because I’m not keeping up with any of the tourney other than LSU.) I brooded my drop to 14th place with much the same despair one would feel when getting to a crawfish boil too late and finding no crawfish left. (That was the most painful and desolate analogy I could think of.) Oh the humanity of it all!

Oh How the Mighty Have Arisen!
But I’m back! And up to 4th! It seems that my immutable Tiger spirit has paid off. LSU beat Texas in overtime to take the team to the Final Four--much thanks to Bunch’s “whoever I pick loses, so I won’t pick LSU” trick! This morning at church we ran with that logic and made Bunch proclaim “LSU can’t go all the way.” So if this reverse trick truly works, we Tiger fans are in store for quite a ride!
