Thank You Duke


Somehow, I won this year's Mabey Family Bracket. For those who want my secret to creating a winning bracket, here it is.... Duke was chosen to be the winner because I love their colors and their name. From there I gave BYU a spot in the sweet sixteen, of course, and then filled the rest of the spots with random teams. So there you have it. I really feel bad for those like my husband and J$ Farmer who spent time researching the teams to create their brackets. Apparently you don't need any knowledge of basketball to win!! Good luck next year Mabey's (& future Mabey's)!

P.S. Special shout-out to Jacob who picked BYU as the champion and took 2nd place! Amazing. And to my husband for taking 3rd and talking me into creating a bracket an hour before the deadline.

I can't believe I didn't see you posted this earlier. I am glad we made a march madness fan out of you, I'll consider that my own little "moral victory"
