It’s here! March Madness begins in earnest today and I am
not referring to the tundra-like weather we are experiencing. No I refer
instead to the NCAA basketball Tournament. This is a day famous for the lack of
business productivity.
Our brackets are filled out as we begin the day with high
hopes that our picks will prevail…. at least to the second round. The next
three weeks are Nirvana to the college basketball fan. Starting this morning,
basketball can be viewed from 11:00am to at least 11:00pm with more than one
game available at any time.
This is a Hoosier House. As the only member of the family
who does not hold an IU degree, shared bloodlines allow me fan privileges. We
long-suffering Hoosiers suppressed the urge to throw a chair or two over the
past eleven years and believe that this year could be the year. Then again,
falling victim could bounce us in the first round to a lowly #16 seed. Can you
say, “upset”?
Whatever happens the excitement of the games will warm us
and help us forget the temperatures outside.
If you host a “watch party” keep the prep to a minimum.
These are good days to order pizza and chicken wings.
Go dust off your favorite team hoodie, shake your pompoms,
keep your remote handy and settle in to all that is Madness.
GO IU!!!!
