I can feel people scoffing at this, but really, filling out your March Madness bracket is kind of a crap shoot. One year, in college, my roommate spent like two hours filling out her bracket. She studied college basketball and was very well-versed in it. Me? Well, I didn't put much thought into mine, filled it out in about 20 minutes, and for a while I was in like 5th place in our apartment complex and the only girl. I forget what dethroned me, but my basic point is that anything can happen. Last year's tournament had so many crazy games and this year I'm hoping that something great happens (like XU going to Final Four...or Duke not advancing at all).
So I figured while I was picking out my bracket that Wee William watches so much bracketology with me that perhaps he could pick? Plus, it could be amusing to see what a 10-month old decides.
Now, I had to hone the selection process to William's skills, which mostly involve picking things up and sticking them in his mouth. What I did was write all the teams on index cards. I would put them in the obvious pairs, then put them in front of him and let him chose. He did this pretty well for a while, then he was pissed at me for taking them away from him (he tends to stick things in his mouth and I refuse to let him eat paper). We stopped for lunch, and then we finished up in the playpen. I then entered his picks onto the CBSSports.com bracket app on Facebook. You can view them there if you have Facebook. If not, never fear, I will update you on the mornings certain rounds start with William's picks!
So what does this brilliant baby say about March Madness. Well, he's a fan of #1 seeds, picking Pitt to win overall. He did a good job picking XU to win a couple of games. I was proud.
