An Ahern Family Ritual

3.20.2009
Every year, against my will, I am forced by my wonderful husband to fill out an NCAA Tournament bracket. And every year I do the same thing. I spend 45 seconds choosing schools with funny or recognizable names. I usually choose Gonzaga...because it's funny. And Cornell because Andy Bernhard went there. And I always reject Steven F. Austin and Robert Morris...because is that even a college or just some guy's name?

Every year I have failed miserably. I filled out my bracket this year like the dutiful wife and checked in today with the official results and I am SCHOOLING my husband! Woot!


Here are my official brackets....not sure why the actual lines aren't showing up. This will possibly mean nothing to you and everything to your significant other. My pick to win is Villanova...not because they have a great 1st string or a wicked defense this year....because I like how it sounds when I say it all funny. Come on...say it with me.

Villa-NO-va!

I like where you have Purdue. That's where I went to school. :) They won't win but looking at where you placed them sure does make me hopeful.

That's all Greek to me, but I would totally pick Steven F. Austin. Dude - Steve Austin? The six million dollar man? He sounds like a winner to me.

Jeremy and I bracket off every year. On the line is a one hour back rub, no strings attached. I've lost the last five years but am up this year. Go Brandy!
