BBQ and basketball!!! Oh YEA BABY!!!

My favorite time of year........MARCH MADNESS.......which seeps into April....but that is just the obsessive compulsive in me.....I will let that go...

Anyway....the party began last night at our house!!!

Thankfully, Jeff went to college for 8 years so that we can have this...
any size bracket....done on any board....printed anyway we want!! I did ask that it be smaller than our couch THIS year....It is sponsored by La Quinta, and USA Today.

The four of us draw poker chips out of a can (with pre-printed numbers/regions/seeds)......so it is the luck of the draw as to which 16 teams we get!! Of course in our family we are all hoping to get Memphis and I was hoping to get Florida!!

If you are left with the championship team, what do you get??? The choice of where the family eats dinner!! (that is a big deal....it used to be $5). 

This adds extra fun to cheering for and against teams because.....

Jack chose Taco Bell....so we are all cheering AGAINST all of his teams.

Jeff drew all crappy teams....but he will be traveling and miss most of March madness just like the last 5 years.....(insert eeyore noises and voice).

Max drew 8 of the top seeded teams (including Florida) and he chose Mosa. One of my favorite Asian restaurants!! I will be cheering for most of his teams....

  I GOT Memphis..... WOO HOO!!! 

This year will be the first that a #12 wins the Championship and all of you can meet me at Salsa for the best tacos in Memphis!!!

This evening is treated with as much anticipation as Christmas morning and we started it out right with BASKETBALL GAME food!!! 

NOOOOO not hotdogs....not popcorn......We live in MEMPHIS!!!!


Cubed cheese tossed in Rendezvous seasoning.........

Three Little Pigs BBQ (yummy, close to home and least expensive) over nachos 
(sweet tea for me and beer for Jeff)

GO TIGERS GO!!!
