It is March and for me and my family that means March Madness brackets, being crushed by your little cousin because he follows basketball, and lots of family birthdays as well.
When the brackets get released I keep waiting by my email for my uncle to send me the invitation to join his bracket. My whole family has the opportunity to join in March Madness and usually there are uncles, aunts, cousins, my parents, and siblings. It can get quite big some years. I do not follow basketball but that never stops me from participating every year, last year I finally won!
1. Schools that do not have football teams have basketball teams.
I went to UNCG and we do not have a football team but we do have a basketball team. The students would come out and support the basketball team for their games. We were never any good until this year when we made it into the top 68 teams and WE ARE PLAYING THIS YEAR!!!!!!! UNCG made it to the brackets!
2. It is a way to connect with your family.
3. Who is scared of friendly competition?
My family and I are vary competitive and March Madness is competitive in my household. We would brag whenever we were in the lead and there was money on the line so we always wanted to be in the lead.
