It has been brought to the attention of the Young Family NCAA Bracket Challenge 2009 media department (cough, Brad) that Jacob Young will not be available for participation in the Bracket Challenge for 2009.
Jacob Young, a heavy-favorite to rank highly in the Challenge this season, has not been cleared by his doctors following surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids.
I received notice from his father, Eric, as he immediately replied to an email regarding the eligibility of Jacob for the 2009 Challenge.
"Yeah - he is out this year!" says Eric Young.
The Young Family NCAA Bracket Challenge administration will sorely miss Jacob's presence during this year's tournament but trusts that he will be back in prime condition next year.
Having to drop out of the challenge would have left this year's playing field down to 12 participants. However, late additions by Joe Matters and Matt Abbott (on behalf of his family) has now brought the total number of participants to 14.
The Challenge begins, Thursday, March 19, 2009. The first tip-off begins at noon.
Oh, I hate to hear that! Just get to feeling better Jake, and you can kick all of our butts next year. I think once he feels better he should be interviewed on how everyone is doing. He needs to be Brad's co hostest with the mostest.
ReplyDeleteThat bums me out. I was so excited to have him in the running. I hope he gets feeling better & he is in our thoughts & prayers. I predict next year will be his! :) We hope you get feeling better soon Jacob! XOXO
ReplyDeleteHe is looking up today. but still not too interested in basketball! He took a serious run at some Chicken Nuggets and French Fries over lunch, and is playing some BURNOUT PARADISE right now on Dad's PS3, so we are coming around! Thanks for all the support, Jacob really appreciates hearing each comment y'all share!
