March Madness

Hmmm I don’t understand all of this hype about the NCAA March Madness. I understand that basketball is manly sport and that it takes talent and hard work to become an expert in both offensive and defense, but if you’re almost seven foot tall shouldn’t you be able to make a basket?  Now, I also understand that these brackets give students, alumni and fans all something to cheer about when there’s no other interesting sport, besides hockey, to cheer for.  Hockey, in my opinion is a much more intense hard hitting game. Hockey players don’t complain when they may accidentally get fouled, they just suck it up and hit their opponents harder next time around.  Perhaps by hatred of basketball has stemmed from my awful experience trying to play the game in middle school. During games and sometimes practice, I would hide under the bleachers in order to be omitted from the lineup. Anyways, instead of wasting my March on building brackets, I will be celebrating national craft month, perhaps bedazzling or making things out of beer bottle caps.  However, I’m sure I’ll catch a couple of the WVU games in the tournament and perhaps even jump on the bandwagon when they get closer to the final four. That being said, LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!
