madness

March Madness is my favorite.
Allow me to repeat for effectiveness:
March Madness is my favorite.

It has begun. And what a great start! The BYU vs Florida game was a perfect kick-off and demonstrated what is so great about college basketball. It went into overtime twice! And luckily, the Cougars pulled it off. Thank heavens. What a great sport.

Needless to say, the tv(s) in our home will be on CBS for the next few weeks. Sorry other networks that give us quality entertainment. But our allegiance lies with sweaty 19-25 year old guys running back and forth with a basketball. And yes, we love it.

The upsets. The sick 3s. Jimmer Fredette at the free-throw line. The brackets. I'm beating Branson so far. The sportsmanship. My one complaint: Greg Gumbel. Man, he drives me crazy. March Madness would be even better if Gumbel didn't flash on the screen every other second.

The games, though. Oh, the games! How I love them.

My bracket is completely busted. And it's only day one. Oh well, I still love it! Thank goodness for live streaming for games at work. I was so happy to get home tonight and still catch games til 11 p.m. So great.
