March Madness

They say everyone has a twin, someone out there in the world that looks just like them. During the March Madness basketball tournament that comes around every year we get to see Mike's twin coaching Duke University's basketball team. Here he is, Mr. Coach K, a.k.a Mike's twin.





Mike is a bit younger and has a little less hair than Coach K but the likeness is definitely there. The boys see Coach K on the screen during a game and want to know why their daddy is at a basketball game on the TV. Last night Jonathan saw some pictures of Coach K on the Internet and called Jeffrey to come see all the pictures of daddy on the computer.

Not only do Mike and Coach K look alike, but they share the same first name and an obsessive love for the game of basketball. Maybe they were separated at birth?

Too bad Coach Mike got knocked out last night (too bad for me, too, because I had Duke in my final four bracket with Memphis taking the championship). So who is Mike going for?

Cami, my I did the same thing in my bracket!! but Duke lost to Villanove.. i think! Jill, when this page first loaded I honestly thought that first picture was Mike Dickey. Wow!

Grandp Dave: I don't remember all the details but it does seem we had another kid running around about the time of Mike's birth. He may have gotton lost in the move from back east. We did end up with the better looking of the two.

I think you needed to photo shop Mike in the authentic shirt and the bleachers behind him to get the full effect. That's hilarious that your boys really thought that was their dad.
