Maddening March

Posted by: Bradley McDonald

March has descended upon us with a flurry and you know what that means!

Yes, the Second Annual 90&9 March Madness Bracket Competition will be held in the upcoming weeks, so start studying now! The bracket for the NCAA basketball tournament will be announced March 12, and I will post details shortly after that about where and how to sign up for the competition.

With the Dukies losing last night and playing many close games lately, my early pick to win it all is Villanova. I reserve the right to change it at any time, though. What team is your number one pick right now? I'm curious to know how many people are still on Duke's wagon.

Here's a good place to start studying for the bracket. Don't worry. If you don't feel like studying, you can pick winners based on favorite mascot or color. There are plenty of methods available to make those of us who follow college basketball feel dumb, because those methods usually prevail. That's why it's called madness!

I'll also see what the prize vault at 90&9 has in it for the winner. I think we just gave away the Mercedes and the ski boat, but I'll see what else I can find.

And now I bring you baseball...
The NCAA isn't the only tournament happening in March. Today marks the beginning of the World Baseball Classic. Sixteen countries from around the world will compete in a tournament-style format to see who is the real "World Champion." There are a lot of MLB players participating, but you'll probably be surprised at how good the lineups are for some of the other countries. Check out the Dominican Republic, in particular.

You don't have to worry about our Vermont Catamounts upsetting your bracket this year. :( Last year was so much fun for those of us in the great green north! Our time will come again! Good luck to you!
