ActiveRain March Madness Sweet 16 Round

Mortgage and Lending with George Souto NMLS #65149 FHA, CHFA, VA Mortgages NMLS #65149

Eric's Boucher ActiveRain Version Of March Madness round one is completed and the bracket for the "Sweet 16" round has been posted.   Eric Boucher has given March Madness his own ActiveRain special twist and turned it into a fun ActiveRain contest.

The ActiveRain March Madness Sweet 16 Round is packed with great match-ups and I am matched up against one of ActiveRain's Classy Lady's & Supper Star, Debbie Reynolds.  This will be a good friendly match with someone I follow, and whose blogs I comment on a daily bases.

In order to advance in the ActiveRain Version Of March Madness each participant must write a blog in each round which receives more comments than the ActiveRain member they are paired against.  Even though the brackets are closed, and we are into the second round, I hope all ActiveRain members take the opportunity to participate in Eric's Boucher's ActiveRain Version Of March Madness, and support the ActiveRain Members they follow by making a comment on their blog and help them advance.

Round #2 ends Saturday, March14th, so do not wait to long to make a comment and help your favorite ActiveRainer's advance to the next round.   I hope to advance to the next round, but if I don't I will be cheering on those who stay alive beyond the ActiveRain March Madness Sweet 16 Round.

George: Because I visit both yours and Debbie's articles each day, my comments will cancel each other out. Best of luck to all who are still in this contest.

As a Duke alum I love the basketball season as it draws to a close. Of course when I was a Duke it was during Bucky Waters' tenure and Duke had a losing season for several years.

George, This was a contest I missed while on hiatus (LOL) yet must confess likely would not have participated in given the space I am in with life and business. Of course I will do my very best to support my fellow Rainers!

Hi George, I keep telling you no worries. Business has been crazy and I have to get the word out on my new listings. I am going to make sure you have lots of comment points. It is fun to see how it will all fall out.

Thank you everyone for your comments and participation in this contest.

Anita, Debbie deserves every comment she gets, so comment away :)

Raymond, you are right no foul play.  Debbie is to nice of a person for me to do that to her, and she is to classy to do that either.

Debbie, I am doing this for the fun and if you advance in stead of me, I will be there with the pom poms cheering you on the rest of the way :)

Hi George - This is a fun contest. I'm in a death match with my buddy Michael Jacobs, and if I had to guess, I think he's going to smoke me. I hope you do better.

George Souto  You are a wonderful blogger . It is not over until it is over .  What is this defeatist attitude . You have dug your way out of horrid snow storms this winter with icicles on your mustache ..

Not sure how to go about commenting specifically on the posts for the contest...this is all so confusing - but it sounds like the contestants are all having a fun time!

Hi George Souto , I like some of the others, was too late to get in.  Good luck to you and Debbie.  Too bad you both can't win.

I knew I loved Lise Howe for a reason!  We are a Duke family as well and the competition with UNC during basketball season is one of my favorite times of the year - sad we lost out in the tournament this year but, at least it wasn't to UNC!  George, have fun with the rest of the contest!

Debe Maxwell = Glad to know there is another Duke family here! My husband's grandson graduates from Duke this year so I get to go to another Duke graduation - (40 years later and then some!) So sorry to see that Duke is out of the competition early this year! But the ACC is not what it used to be! My daughter is at Boston College and it is nice to be able to see some of the BCC games but BC doesn't belong in the ACC!
