Tigers and the Final Four
Me: Mom, my party is scheduled for March 24th
My Mom: Wait a second….I'll have to check the Final Four schedule and see if I can make it
Me: Mom I'll have the games on TV. Don't worry about it
My Mom: When the Tigers are in the Final Four I don't want any distractions
God bless my Mom's optimism. I also offered to pay her $1000 if they make it if she would pay me $100 if they don't. Her optimism faded a bit but still gotta love her hopefulness

Awesome lady. My kind of Fan. And if we make it to the final four I will PERSONALLY send her $1,000, no strings attached.
Good thing about NCAA basketball, even now we have a better chance of being national champions than did UCF in football. (Not that that is a good thing.)

I’d pay a $1000 gladly for a final four. Pretty sure I paid around that much last time.

What kind of person tries to hustle their own mother by offering such usurious odds?

I don't understand, UCF was co-national champions...

I like your Mom. And you should be ashamed scheduling a party when we might be in the Final Four!
