February Madness
Posted by: Bradley McDonald
Let's talk college basketball! I caught the end of a Duke/North Carolina game tonight. I don't think there's a better rivalry in sports than this one. It doesn't matter what each team is ranked. It doesn't matter the time of year. Each time there's a Duke/UNC matchup, the intensity level is unmatched and the games are always close. This year, they both happen to be ranked in the top 10. Duke won the game by one point tonight, but both teams are very talented and could be around for a long time in March.
Speaking of March, it won't be long before every one is filling out their brackets for another NCAA tournament. March Madness is my favorite time of year in sports. You can never tell who will be upset and when. The underdog "cinderella" schools are the ones that make the tournament so fun to watch.
I remember the first year I really got into the NCAA basketball tournament. It was my freshman year in high school and a friend of mine snuck a small portable TV in his booksack, so he could watch the games at school. I managed to sit behind him one class and he eased the top of his booksack down, so we could see the game. I remember some big name team was getting upset, and we couldn't keep our excitement down. We ended up getting punish-work, but the TV was never found! Long live sport and the sport fan! :)
