NCAA Today

March Madness kicks off today. If anyone made picks on ESPN and doesn't have a group to join, you can join the group called 'Crazy Phillips Family' by entering our high school mascot as the password. Anyone who gets in the group and wants to side bet a six pack, let me know in the comments for this post.

Listening to Drive By Truckers . . .

These guys are good.

Don’t call what your wearing an outfit. Don’t ever say your car is broke.
Don’t sing with a fake British accent. Don’t act like your family’s a joke.
Have fun, but stay clear of the needle, call home on your sister’s birthday.
Don’t tell them you’re bigger than Jesus, Don’t give it away.
