March Madness ~ Mean to Me

March Madness!!!

You officially have one more day to fill out your bracket before the games begin!! 


What is March Madness??


It's college basketball. It's 64 teams. It's the Sweet Sixteen. It's the Elite Eight. It's the Final Four. It's the National Championship. It's cutting down the net!!


Uconn won last year... watch this highlight reel.

You may have an office pool going on, with everyone filling out brackets... here are a few things to note... 

1. The person who normally wins is the person who knows the least about basketball and typically picks based on team colors. Betting more than $5 is unwise, unless you're the person mentioned above. 
2. SMU hasn't been in the tournament in 22 years. So, if you're from TX and want to represent - you should pick them to beat UCLA. 
3. Texas, as in UT, is in the big dance again. I'm not a huge UT fan and am not sure they will beat Butler. But, if you're an alumni of UT, pick them. Ha! (you would anyway)
4. Texas Southern also made the big dance. They're up against Arizona! I picked Arizona.
5. If you're going to pick an "upset" or "Cinderella school" - don't keep them going much past the Sweet Sixteen. This year is supposed to be pretty clean with schools ranked in the top 4 making it to the finals. Just what "they" are saying! Do as you will! 

**I missed SFA. They were in the tournament last year and are playing Utah this year. They are a decent pick for an upset, but I picked Utah.**

Random Info:
So, I love Country Music. Yes, I said it, and I'm not ashamed. 

Randomly, had CMT on the other day, and this song came on, that I love!! 



I caught myself watching this video wondering... why is the whole thing like a Calvin Klein model shoot of Bret Eldredge?? The song is about a woman, in a crowded room, that he's watching and admiring. 

I started laughing because there isn't a female in this video until the last 20 seconds, in which she acts shocked to see him in an EMPTY room! Ha! Not that I'm a video producer, but just figure if you sing a song about a chick, there should be one with you in your music video. 

Props that it was shot in NYC. 

End of story.

Dirk Nowitzki ~ Dallas Cowboys Free Agency ~ Texas Rangers ~ Selection Sunday ~ Loveland, CO

GO MAVS!!! 27-36  (wins - losses) Dirk, Dirk, he's our man... if he can't do it... no one can!!!  Well, only 5 other guys can and have.  Dirk is now 6th on the all time list of NBA players to score 30,000 points . This is a crazy accomplishment. He's played over 1,300 games in his 19 year career with the Dallas Mavericks.  His commitment to this team and to our city has been life changing for many. He does a lot in our community through the Dirk's Heroes Foundation . Fundraising and giving grants to non-profits in our community and around the world that are making an impact in the lives of children and families in need.  Back in the day, the Mavs games were fun to watch with the " Three J's " - but we didn't win a lot, and we never thought we would make it to the playoffs consistently, much less to the NBA Finals. ( Three J's: Jimmy Jackson, Jamal Mashburn, Jason Kidd - here's a funn...

The Masters, in all its beauty ~ Texas Rangers ~ Dallas Mavs ~ Get Outside

The Masters The ultimate Bucket List item and one of the ones that exceeded my expectations. If you play golf, have a family member who makes you watch golf or take naps to golf, you understand that The Masters is the holy grail of golf tournaments. It is the only PGA tournament that is played in the same location every year, Augusta, Georgia.  Thanks to very dear friends of mine, I had the chance to walk through the azaleas, experience the serenity of Amen Corner and watch the players skip golf balls across the water at Hole 16. If they allowed people to sleep on the grass, I would have stayed forever.  We were there for two days of practice rounds, which is fun because the players are relaxed and cut up with one another. They cancelled the Par 3 Contest, which was sad, but just being there was the most wonderful feeling ever. You can't take phones in, so I even called my parents from the phones at Augusta, just to do so. We also didn't realize you could bring in a real camer...

Week 13: Dallas Cowboys vs. Minnesota Vikings ~ NFC East ~ NFL logo quiz

GO COWBOYS!!! 10-1 1st in the NFL 1st in the NFC EAST Thursday, December 1st 7:25 PM CST on NBC We've NEVER won 10 consecutive games. Ever.  We lost our first game of the season to the New York Giants, by one point. And oddly enough, they are still the ghost we're trying to run away from and secure our playoff spot with only 5 Regular Season games left.  Here is what the NFC East looks like going into Week 13...  The Minnesota Vikings... what should we fear?  The Vikings are in the NFC North Division. They currently trail the Detroit Lions for a spot in the playoffs. They have only won 1 of their last 5 games, which makes this Thursday night, showtime game, a must win for the Vikings!  4-1 at home, The Vikings meet the Cowboys who are 5-0 on the road. Oh how I love those odds! Forever in our favor this season.  Quarterback situation. Sam Bradford is the starting QB for the Vikings. A guy they got in the o...
