March Madness - Final Four

 The Final Four is here and the final standings in all brackets are up for grabs. 
Here at the Coach’s Corner, my offspring and I still have positions 1,2,3.  But that will all shift depending on the winners in these next three games. 
In my Blogging Church Planter’s Bracket, I’m stuck in the 30s, but can still rise [...]

March Madness, Denver & the MHO

My bracket took a hit this afternoon as Texas looked like they were slow-dancing while Memphis was doing the jitterbug….all over their face.  That hurt me but if Kansas wins, I’ll still have 3 of the final 4.  As much as I want my bracket to stay as strong as it can, I can honestly [...]

March Madness Greatness

The Sweet 16 have been whittled down to the Elite 8 and before the weekend is over, we’ll have our Final Four.  I don’t know if this will hold through the weekend or through the end of the tournament…..
 But for Today…….
THE DOEBLER HOUSEHOLD IS 1-2-3 in the Coach’s Corner Standings. 
That’s right, my offspring and myself [...]

March Madness, Update 3

Tournament madness resumes tonight as they begin to whittle the Sweet 16 down to the Elite Eight.  I’ve still got a fighting chance in both brackets I’m in, mostly because I’ve still got 7 out of 8 teams left that I have picked for the Elite Eight.  If they hold serve, I’ll have a good [...]

March Madness, Update 2

I’ll have some thoughts about Easter and what this day has been for us and for me later tonight in Sunday Night Lights.  But I thought I’d add a quick update or two on the tournament. 
I woke up from my nap just in time to see Davidson put the finishing touches on Georgetown…(take that Mark [...]

NCAA Madness Update - Day 1

The first day of March Madness brought few surprises….which was NOT GOODfor me.  I have come to count on upsets as the bread and butter of the tournament and they are part of my picks.  The first round of games didn’t work out to well for me, but I moved up the charts in the [...]

NCAA Madness at the Coach’s Corner

I LOVE the NCAA tournament.  I’m a competetion nut.  I love it when people strive, give their best, and let the chips fall where they may.  Naturally, I pick a bracket for March Madness.  Now, I not only enjoy the competition on the court, I enjoy the competition of coming up with the best bracket.  [...]

Brett Favre - Take 2

Yeah, I know.  I’ve already done my spiel about Favre.  But being the huge football fan that I am, I just have to give you an instant replay of a great post on favre from another blog.  A pastor by the name of Mark Wilson from the northwoods of Wisconsin had this to say about [...]

Brett Favre - A Legend

Yesterday marked the end of an era.  One of the greatest QBs to ever play in the NFL hung up his cleats for the last time.  He was great because he played full-out.  He left nothing in the tank and everything on the field.  He played to win.  There are many people in life that [...]

We Win!

 
My oldest son, Zach, has played in a basketball league throughout the winter sponsored by the Christian Center in Peoria.  Those guys do a great service to the community by the way.  Anyway, their team has limped through the season going 3-7.  But in this league, everyone makes the tournament at the end of the [...]
