A few weeks back, as the 2009 playoffs got underway, I boldly predicted the Final Four in both divisions of the Class 5A bracket. And when you get it right, you have the right to brag about it!
Of course, when you're like me and get it almost completely WRONG, you should 'fess up to it too...
I deliver written jabs to enough other people that it's only right that I expose my own personal shortcomings...no matter how hard they are to find. And trust me, I've lived with myself long enough to know just how close to perfect I am.
My predictions for the 5A Division 1 Final Four: Coppell, The Woodlands, Hightower and Converse Judson.
Have you ever completely whiffed on a tee shot in golf?? I know that feeling well. You quickly look around and hope the other guys in your foursome were getting something out of their bags on the back of the carts.
The Woodlands, Hightower and Judson couldn't make it past the second round. Coppell lasted until the third round. WHIFF!
My predictions for the 5A Division 2 Final Four were Cedar Hill, Klein Collins, Katy and San Antonio Reagan.
Have you ever barely foul-tipped a 55-mph batting-practice fastball? You tell yourself that it's only because you're rusty. But by the third or fourth time, you realize your glory days are gone.
The Reagan Rattlers couldn't muster more than a lone field goal in a first-round loss to Pflugerville. Cedar Hill and Klein Collins fared somewhat better, both making it to the third weekend before losing.
Katy is still Katy. Nailed that one! Foul tip!
Having learned my lesson, I will refrain from ever picking state semifinalists again...at least for this year.

Your wife could probably tell us how wrong you really are and how often...
