The madness

I LOVE March Madness!  What a great sporting time!  Probably the best sports time (maybe minus the Super Bowl as long as the Packers are winning it).  So many games with so much on the line.  How can you not love it? 

This year's start to the tourney happend to coincide w/beautiful weather and St. Patty's day!  Awesome!  Last year, I was fortunate enough to be in New Orleans for a friend's bachelor party and got to see a a few teams play.  We got to see returning teams like Old Dominion and Kentucky.  The atmosphere was cool, and you got see 2 games for the price of one.  I was pretty impressed by the Kentucky fans because of how well they travelled.  One of these years, I'd love to be in Vegas for it and just sit in a sportsbook all day.  I've heard its a great time to be there.

I'm doing 2 brackets this year.  One for fun in which I've chosen Duke to repeat.  The other one was for only $10 and chose Kansas.  I won that one last year and chose Duke correctly.  I think that the first time winning.  The cool thing about brackets is that anyone can win.  The most diehard of fan can't predict everything right.  There are so many games and already there's been an upset with #4 seed Louisville losing. 

As the tourney happens its easy to see the light at the end of the tunnel.  The weather gets better.  Baseball and basketball playoffs are right around the corner.   Things are looking up.  Now... Go Kansas!
