March Madness

March is here. And with that comes the madness known as the NCAA tournament. While basketball is not our number one favorite sport in the Rode household, it is definitely watched, especially in March. Both men and women. And most definitely as long as the Aggies are still in the tournament.

March (well, technically February) also brings baseball and softball. Yay! We have already attended a softball game and I think that is Taryne's new favorite sport...next to football of course.

So, do you fill out a bracket for the tournament? For fun or for an office pool? I have never filled out a bracket ahead of time. Why you ask? I have worked in athletics so long and know that it is against NCAA rules for any athletic employee (even part time) to participate in any sort of sports betting, whether at the college or professional level. I don't even fill out a bracket before the tournament starts for fun. I fill mine is as the games are decided. I love athletics and working with athletes so much I would never want to jeopordize a chance for a full time job in athletics.

I can't wait for Selection Sunday for the men and Selection Monday for the women. The tournament this year will be great! We have 2 of the top 5 women's teams in our conference and I know A&M is really working hard to get a number one seed in the tournament. Bracketology is a fun and addicting thing.

Until next time...Gig'em!

School Field Trips

Both kids had field trips at the end of the year on the SAME day. Hayden's class visited a local pizza place, Dion's, and Taryne...
