Bracketology


(CLICK TO ENLARGE)

Ever since I was a little girl, I always filled out an NCAA bracket for my Dad's work pool. Even when I was really young, not into the games and only picked winners based on their names/colors/mascots, I always got lucky. I actually think knowing less can benefit you in this type of situation. I can remember many years when I actually won the pool or came in second or third without watching a single game; this, out of a group of male adults who live for sports and every second of every match-up. After many years of watching March Madness, of course I know more now than I did back then. I love sports! Basketball isn't my favorite but I cheered for it for many years, followed it in college and have fun with it now. I don't do as well as I did when I was young and clueless but I still get lucky from time to time.

I haven't followed very much of the season this year, so my picks were a bit all over the place. I have a prediction system that parallels what's currently going on in my life and the world. If a certain city has been in the news or a part of my life in any way and that city has a team in the tournament, I go with it. I won't discuss every detail of why I picked my teams but there is a method to my March madness.

Hitler Is a Pirates Fan

The video below is fucking brilliant! I'm one of the few people who doesn't mind if the Pirates continue to lose. It's normal for me. The team hasn't had a winning season since I was about 6-years-old. It would be comparable to the apocalypse if they were actually contenders for the Pennant. Sure, if the team made it to the playoffs, I'd be the first one on the Bucco bandwagon; but until that time comes, I'm staying ambivalent. I've been fortunate enough to see each of my other sports teams win many championships and respectable titles over the years. We don't want to be greedy now, do we, Pittsburgh? The Pirates can be bad forever as far as I'm concerned. Whether they're below, at, or well above .500, I'll still wear my "P" logo hat with yinzer pride!

I'm living life in beautiful Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I hold a journalism degree from West Virginia University. I have worked in television news, fashion marketing, PR, and cosmetic sales. My love for writing and sharing with the world my various passions is strong. One of my many ambitions is to be published and continue creating in the fields of digital and print media, literature and film. In my free time, I enjoy listening to music, going to concerts, reading, following Pittsburgh sports and traveling as often as possible. Some of my favorite things include beauty, style, architecture, books, tarot and astrology, thrifting and my shih-tzu, Ireland. I’m engaged to the love of my lifetimes and we look forward to starting our next chapter together. If you have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you!
