Do you love basketball? I tend to only watch basketball in March and the first week in April. Translation: I love March Madness. Probably because the kids who play in the basketball tournament have so much passion. Playing in the NCAA tournament is living the dream for them, especially since most of them won’t make it to the pros.

2017 is especially good for our family because we love the University of Michigan (known as Michigan to its true fans. Go blue!!). Hooray for Michigan basketball!! This year, we have been able to enjoy watching them in the tournament, and guess what? They won both games this weekend, so we get to watch them next week, in the sweet sixteen.
Just last week the team's plane skidded off the runway, something I imagine was very scary. They were on the way to the Big 10 tournament. But they are young athletes in the prime of their physical and mental lives. They were able to play through the tournament and win the Big 10 title. It was only a few weeks prior that they weren’t sure they’d even make the tournament. Now many are picking them to go to the Final Four, or even further.
What about you? Do you enjoy March Madness? Is there someone you are rooting for in the 2017 NCAA tournament? Is your bracket already busted? Or is it just another sports thing you choose to ignore?
Why didn't you guys lose to OK St. like I picked?

Oh no, that's not good for your bracket. We picked them to go all the way, but then again we have blind faith in all of our teams. It seems to be a Michigan thing. We cheer for the Lions every year.
