Send Me The Trophy

Send me the trophy.  In my bracket challenge group, I am the champion.  After years of fumbling near the bottom of the pack, I have won my first bracket challenge, and the final games haven’t even been played.  All my challengers are out.  None of their teams made the final four.  And who pulled me through?  UCLA.  Go Bruins.  

Jen thinks it is silly to get hyped about winning something in which I don’t win anything at all.  But I do win bragging rights for a whole year, and that is something after being trashed talked to year after year.  After all, I am the 2006 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tourney, McConkey Boys Challenge, CHAMPION.  “Cut down the nets!”

Well, Well - what does the word say "pride comes before the fall" or beware when you think you are standing lest you fall"? You finally won & we will give you dues but beware next year is coming & remember your track record!

Guess we will have to title it the McConkey & Russell Boys Challenge for next year

Heartbroken but not defeated & still official reigning champion until the final second, Dave

No pride involved. Just the facts man, just the facts.

Hmm....is this another example of worst to first? I guess you have proven that even a blind squirel finds a nut every now and then.....of course, it doesn't help that I have been looking for nearly 10 years.

I tip my hat to you and you well earned victory.
