Let's put the collective will of the TNFTers to work!!

I don't know how well you've studied the NCAA Tournament brackets but by some random chance (or the result of the influence of a higher power) for the first (and probably only) time UCLA could play Cornell in the Final Four!!!

Among the various reasons this would be awesome (uh, Bears vs Bears game - watch out Colbert, Red/White - Blue/Gold, Cornell making it to the Final Four!!!), perhaps the best is that it would pit Katherine's alma mater versus Kevin's alma mater.

Why would I want to create such possible conflict in my marriage, you may ask? Well, for one, I don't really care who wins the game and in no way would it influence how much I love my wife. For two, I think it would be neat. And for three, it would give us an easy solution to a potential problem we'll face later in life: namely, where's Lyla going to go to college?

This conflict is already bubbling over the surface, with each parent trying to make the case early for their school. Instead of letting this carry on for the next 17+ years, a Final Four match-up could serve as a fair way of picking for us. I think both of us would submit to the arbitrary authority of a national supporting event as the basis for a pivotal decision in our daughter's life.

I've mentioned the Collective Will of the TNFT Group before. Based on the composition of the South and West brackets, I don't think anyone will object to UCLA and Cornell making it to the Final Four. So, if you don't mind, start well-wishing the Bruins and the Big Reg all the way to San Antonio. Cornell first plays Stanford tonight at 5:00 pm (and I think everyone can get behind a Cornell victory).

Let's Go Red!!!!
