| Life-long Duke fans. December 2009. |
Brackets, like life, are full of upsets. The underdog wins. The most decorated loses.
Brackets, like life, are full of chance. The blue team wins. The blue team loses.
Good. Bad. Predictable. Surprising. Happy. Sad. Winner. Loser. The odds of coming up with a perfect bracket are 9.2 quintillion to one.
The odds of knowing how your life will turn out, however, is probably more like infinity to one.
Some decisions, like some games, are more important than others.
Sometimes you make the right decision and it turns out in your favor. Sometimes it doesn't turn out the way you planned.
Sometimes you make the wrong decision but in the end life rights it for you. Other times you have to dig your way out of your mess.
You can make the same decision twice and it will turn out exactly the same. Or exactly the opposite.
You can have a perfect first round bracket, and still pick the wrong champion.
You can have a miserable first round, and still end up with the winner's name as your NCAA champion pick.
EMBRACE BRACKETOLOGY.
Because despite the odds, we continue to fill out brackets and make life choices to the best of our ability with whatever wisdom we have at hand.
Insider's tip: despite the Duke apparel, my nephew says Louisville is going all the way.

Wonderful sentiment. I would add that sometimes your team goes only to the NIT, but does very well in it. Roll Tide!
