The Big Dance. March Madness. Road To The Final Four. Day When Everyone Sneaks Off To The Cafeteria Every 15 Minutes To Check Scores.

Today is the first day of the NCAA Men's College Basketball Tournament. This year I have watched roughly no college basketball, which is not much different than previous years. But still when the tournament comes around in March it's always a fun time. Everyone is filling out their brackets and pretending they know anything at all about college hoops. People gather at lunch in the cafeteria to watch games. Heather always prints out our brackets and hilights them with her own color coding scheme to keep track of who's beating who. I setup a Yahoo league every year with some of my buddies (I invite a bunch but only a few manage to find the 2.5 minutes it takes to register and participate). This year is no different. My picks are submitted and I'm ready for the action. I'm sure we'll have CBS on at the house all through the weekend keeping tabs on the scores and watching the exciting finishes and upsets.

The Sports Pickle had a funny story (they write fake humorous sports stories) about a guy who fortunatly was diagnosed with cancer. He was veyr excited because it meant he would be home Thursday and Friday for the opening rounds. Obviously that's exagerated, but the point is valid... this country goes apecrap for March Madness.

With that, I'm off to the cafeteria
