				The most wonderful time of the year - NCAA TOURNEY BABY!
			 What a great time of year.  Why, would you ask, do I consider this the greatest sporting event known to man? The first three games of the day: an overtime game with a 15 (Robert Morris) almost beating a 2 (Villanova), a double overtime game (BYU over Florida), and a 1 point upset with Old Dominion over Notre Dame. Love. The. Tournament. |

				            | I am different than the normal person, I suppose, in that no matter who I have selected on my bracket I cheer for the upsets. I have Nova (eventually losing to Duke in the regional finals, I believe - don't have my bracket with me), but would have loved to see Robert morris beat them. |

				            | Scaeagles' comments accord with an observation I heard on sports talk radio the other day:  that the NCAA tourney is the only major sporting championship that gets less interesting as it progresses.

				            | It's the time of year when I hear way too much about the local small college and how they will be a spoiler. I hope they are crushed by Purdue. |

| I Floop the Pig | Which is amazing since it doesn't start out all that interesting.  For all of the excitement about possible upsets, in 25 years, a #16 has never beaten a #1.  That's 100 games.  Only 11 times has the spread been <10 points.  Madness!
