Oh the Madness!!!


Well this is one of my favorite times of year - March Madness Time.
The NCAA (that's "N-C-A-A" or "N-C Double A" but please don't call it the "N-C Two A") Tournament is one of the best championships in all of sports. In fact I would probably put it above the Super Bowl even. The Super Bowl has become more of a social event then a sports championship - Think about it people talk about the commercials the next day instead of the game. Granted the Super Bowl means a ton to you if your team is playing but for most people it isn't that important. The Tourney on the other hand is so fun and exciting that your team doesn't even have to make the field of 64 for it to be great.
The start to this years Tournament has been no different - it is off to a great start. There have been a lot of exciting finishes and some great upsets. One of my favorite stories so far is that Wichita State and George Mason are playing each other in the Sweet Sixteen so one of the two is guaranteed to make it to the Elite Eight - that is fantastic. I bet whoever makes it will have a lot of fans rooting for them to make the Final Four - it would be a great story.
I can't wait for Thursday so the games will start up again. I will be parked in front of my TV watching one of the best traditions in sports. Hope you enjoy it too.
