GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE...

(Aahhh a sigh and grunt of disgust)

Dear Sports Blahg Readers,

I come to as not just your voice of reason, or your chance to escape into glorious, remarkable, sophisticated voice of sports literature, but a man who’s been beaten. Beaten from what you ask? Myself. This has to be the worst bracket I have filled out in years. Seriously, I am almost a shamed of myself as someone you turn to for “expert” opinions on the various sports you watch. I was 11 for 16 on the sweet 16 teams. I was 5 for 8 on the elite 8 teams, and might be 3 out of 4 for the final 4 teams. I lost my championship loser in Memphis, and at this point have said, screw the bracket, as long as UNC wins the whole thing, then that’s all that matters.

Please don’t let my 3 day binge of research to fill out my bracket change your opinion of me, as I failed miserably. WAIT, don’t stop reading. What are you doing? Don’t X me out! Just give me another chance. I promise I will do better. Just relax; we’ll get through this together. We still have my baseball predictions to make…I will make it up to you later on this week with my baseball forecast.

I hope everyone has had a chance to watch these first two weekends of the NCAA tournament. It certainly is something else. There hasn’t been many upset this year, but like I stated in my last post, if you ever get the chance to attend of these opening weekend games in a city near you, it’s well worth it. I hope you watched any of the games Gus Johnson announced, as its unparalleled the level of elegance he possess with each game he calls. I hope at some point you went a bar to watch the games, and felt the intensity and excitement as each fan was fixated into each TV (as the Bulls game played in the corner, and nobody seemed to care). I hope you had a chance to watch Blake Griffin and Tyler Hansbrough as they reveal what’s great about college basketball. As one possesses skill and athleticism, and the other is pure heart and hustle. If you haven’t had a chance to see them play, they face off tomorrow at 3:30 central time, as it should be a game to remember.

I will keep this post short and sweet as we prepare for the final 4 to be set by 6pm tomorrow evening. Please do not judge me on this performance alone as I am just a man, and we all make mistakes. Enjoy the rest of your weekends, and we’ll see you soon.

With love,

Your Bri-Guy Sports Blahgger
