March Madness

Who doesn't love March? I don't know, but don't bring your bad attitude around me. The weather is getting warmer (at least in theory), the sun stays out a little longer, and my birthday was a few days ago. Let’s all celebrate!

But of course, the prime reason why this stretch of the calendar is so awesome is because it provides the setting for the greatest sporting event in America and possibly the entire planet. March Madness. Screw the idiots who lament of lost productivity. I've been hearing more and more of this talk lately. These are the same people who are relieved when the holidays end so they can go back to work. Have another lump of coal there, Scrooge.

My bracket? Yeah, I filled one out. It was a tough one this year, so many of the teams are balanced. Last year only 2 of my teams made it to the Final Four and my team didn’t even win…damnit.

Well this year my picks for the Final Four are Duke vs. UCLA and UConn vs. Florida. I have UCLA upsetting Duke and UConn beating Florida. UCLA and UConn will meet in the Championship game with UConn emerging with the victory. I wanted to go with Villanova all the way since they have been fairly consistent this year, but I don't know if I can trust them to get to the Elite 8. Duke was also another close favorite to win the tournament, but with its freshman point guard being so unpredictable, they are a hard choice to pick to go all the way. UConn has been consistently in the top 5 this entire year and I think they are the team to beat. I am not a fan of Duke or UConn, but they have great records and I can’t help but pick them.

OK so that’s what I have. The Madness has begun…

Let's get it on!
