Talking with Nathaniel Royce Abbott

We talked with Nathaniel Royce Abbott, today, about the Young Family Bracket. Abbott, currently in 11th place with 137 points, Nathaniel had UNC, Memphis, Pittsburgh and Michigan State in the Final Four and only has UNC and Michigan State still alive (Both teams play tonight with a trip to the Final Four on the line).

B:How do you think you’ve done so far in the bracket challenge?

N: Pretty good, because I have got most of them.

B: I saw you had Memphis going to the Final Four, how did you react when you saw that they lost to Missouri?

N: Umm, I put my head under my pillow and cried.

B:You still have UNC and Michigan State alive to head to the Final Four. Do you still think that they are going to make it to Detroit?

N: Yes.

B: So, now that Memphis is out, who do you think will face UNC in the Finals?

N: Louisville – because so far they have won all of their games and I think they may beat Connecticut. I’m going with my gut.

B: Have you been having fun with the Bracket Challenge?

N: Yes!

B: What has been your favorite part so far?

N: Umm, I really do not know. Getting up and seeing who has won and lost has been fun.

B: Have you been watching a lot of the games?

N: Yeah – I’ve probably seen about five or six. We watched Connecticut, UNC, Ohio State, Siena and others.

B: You’re only down by 16 to your Mom but you’re up by 45 over your dad… is there anything you’d like to say to them?

N: I think Daddy is going to lose and Mommy may beat me.

B: Alright, so who do you think is going to win the Bracket Challenge this year?

N: Either Uncle Brad or Uncle Jeremy. I really don’t know because you two are really close. I’d say Uncle Brad to win since UNC will win the Championship.

B: Maybe… will you want to play again next year?!

N: Yes!

B: Do you have any parting comments to everyone who is reading this blog?

N: No, not really.
