I filled out ten brackets, and I don't have a single perfect one left.
I went 14-2 in my best bracket and 8-8 in my worst.
Could've been better; certainly, could've been worse.
In my best bracket, UNLV and UCONN cost me.
Looks like I shouldn't have gone with all caps, but VCU came through for me.
It's just the South bracket that's given me problems so far.
Here's a look at the bracket I'm referring to.
The worst part? I was undefeated until 10:00 last night.
Here's hoping today is similar, if not better!

Manning Watch: Part 2
More interesting developments this morning.
Turns out, I was completely off. Who knew.
Seems like Manning is handling this just as he would, methodically.
The Broncos were the first team he met with, now they'll be the first team he works out for.
The Broncos are sending a private plane out to Durham to watch Manning work out, but aren't expected to bring him back to Denver on the plane.
Broncos officials aboard the plane include John Fox, John Elway, the QB coach and other offensive coaches as well as the medical staff.
Word recently is also that the Dolphins are out of the mix. So, I was dead wrong.
It's seeming more like the Cardinals are falling off the radar as well, since Kolb's deal must be done by the close of business today. If they haven't heard any news from Manning, they've got to get Kolb's deal done.
The Broncos appear to be in the prime spot right now, but like I said yesterday, where does that leave Tim Tebow?
It'd be a perfect slot for him to learn under arguably one of the greatest in the game, but would he want to do that?
Not sure, but I think he'd be able to hone his skills and learn a lot from Manning if Manning becomes a Bronco and Tebow sticks around.
This is bound to get more confusing before it gets any clearer.
Stay tuned for Part 3, which I'm sure is coming soon.

Timing is everything
It's March Madness, and that means college hoops all day, every day.
Not for this girl.
Sure, I'll be tuning in to every game this weekend, but it'll be around listening to the Troy Baseball team as they take on South Alabama in a three game series.
I'll be calling my second baseball game of the season (& of my career) Tuesday night at Riddle-Pace Field as the Trojans take on the Alabama Crimson Tide, and I've got to be prepared!
That means studying both the Trojans and Tide this weekend.
So, while you all are soaking in hoops up to your neck, I'll be doing the same, while still trying to learn more about the game of baseball and get ready to deliver some play by play on Tuesday night.
Let's hope the Troy Trojans can manage some March Madness of their own on the diamond.

Manning Watch
I've said before, I'm a Manning fan.
& it looks like it will still be a few more days before I figure out what team I've got to pull for.
Manning's top suitor's seem to be Denver, Arizona, Tennessee and Miami.
I could pull for any of those.
But what are the repercussions if he goes to those squads?
Denver - What would they do with Tim Tebow? Would he really be gone? What about Tebow Time?
I don't know where Tebow would head. But I know, personally, of a few Bronco's fans that would be extremely disappointed. I would be disappointed, too.
Maybe that wouldn't be for the best.
Arizona - They've got Larry Fitzgerald, who could prove to be a selling point. But they've got to make a decision quick because of their own QB situation with Kevin Kolb. He's owed $7 million if he's on the roster today.
Plus, this is the NFC people. Manning is all AFC.
Looking like they might not be in the running after all.
Tennessee - The same division as the Colts? Really? Would that be a smart idea? I understand you could seek revenge and seek it twice a season, but I'm not sure it'd be worth it. The Titans owner Bud Adams has reportedly said he'll do whatever it takes to get Manning on board.
I wouldn't doubt there are a lot of owners willing to do just the same.
Miami - The same division as the Patriots. This could hold some value in Manning's eyes. Sunny Miami. Beating Brady at his own game. I don't know where he's going or what he's thinking, but this stop seems to have something about it that makes me wonder if he might not end up a Dolphin.
Don't hold me to it though.
This is an article Rick Reilly wrote back on March 8th. A Tribute of sorts to Manning.
The Colts may have gotten lucky with Manning and his success, but clearly now they're looking to get Luck.
This time by the name of Andrew.
I'll still have an interest in how the Colts do, but with so many of their star players gone, it's not the same team. Though they do still have Reggie Wayne.
But, back to Manning.
I don't have a clue where he's going, but he'll have to take a back seat to March Madness now.
And so the Manning Watch continues.

Today's the day
One of the busiest sports days and one of the most fun.
I'll be watching the beginning of the tournament at Coaches Corner in Wetumpka with my dad & not only watching the tournament games but watching the MAX Roundtable with Doug & Josh.
There's nothing like the next two days. Can you beat non-stop tournament style ball?
I think not.
I've filled out my brackets, and I've got a few surprises in there.
I've got mostly Kentucky or UNC winning it all, but I do have a bracket with Marquette taking home the championship.
You never know.
That's why they play the game.
I've filled out eight brackets so far, but the deadline isn't here yet.
I just might get in all ten that ESPN will allow.
I'll have a clue as to which brackets are shaping up the best after today, and I'll post how I'm doing.
Best of luck to you in your picks, and clear the schedule.
The next two days are all hoops.
