The Terry Family 2023 Bracket Challenge

March 20, 2023

Shocking.  Spectacular.  Exciting.  Unexpected.  Emotional.  Heart-Wrenching.

And that was just my morning dump.  But wow, the Terry Family NCAA 2023 bracket challenge, let’s peek in!

Eliza Rules if it’s ‘Bama

3 brackets ride on the Alabama Crimson Tide, but only one has a chance: Eliza.   Joe and Noah also picked the Tide, but are behind on points, have the exact same 3 left for the Final Four left as Eliza (Houston, Texas, and ‘Bama), and do not have enough differentiation in the Sweet 16 or Elite 8 to shuffle the board.  Maybe next time pick a team that doesn’t have a recent murder on its resume’, guys?

Buncha Cougar Chasers

Bethany Frankel would love you guys, “you guys” being Davey, Robinson, Catie and Kelley.  While Davey is most likely to snag a couple cougars after he dons his big stethescope, let’s stick with basketball.

Kells emerges if UConn stays tough.  Otherwise, Davey, as the current points leader among the 4, is likely to prevail if Houston wins.

But it’s tight.  Speaking of tight, Davie, did you know that you are going to have to give some proctology exams?  Rich used to practice on the ponies.

Took a Dukey

Big Jack was lookin’ so good, with Davey’s main bracket close behind. Then the Blue Devils, well, see headline.

Let’s blame that stupid Grant Hill mascot commercial.

K-State or Texas, and it may be Tizzle Time!!

Robert and yours truly have K-State, but as Robert trails badly on points, he can’t come back if the ‘Cats claw their way to the title.

I won’t rub it in that much, as I already believe I am superior to all of you.  Lovingly, though.

Doin’ Bruins.

Eww, I wish that hadn’t occurred to me, so I’ll wrap it up quick: if UCLA vets emulate the teams of yesteryear, Robert, out of nowhere, goes home with the Bacon.

Please don’t ever let me say “Doin’ Bruins” again.

No Chance Whatsoever

A fundamental rule of thumb is that if your max points at the end of any round are less than the points required for a passing grade in high-school, your loved ones should be alarmed.

Rachel, the Family has planned an intervention.  Nobody in their right mind could make so many bad picks. 

The good news is that you are net yet DQ’d from the Big Loser 10%, as I think you actually meant it.  Thus the Intervention.

The Madness!!!
