March Madness
Posted by: Denelle
I've never understood the phenomena of March Madness. Not even after I went to a school where basketball regined supreme, in a city where the biggest rivalry in town was between university basketball teams, in a region where if you weren't a basketball fan then you weren't American. And yet while I don't get all the excitement, I can definitely agree that "madness" is an appropriate moniker.
However, in a spirit of solidarity and as a way to keep myself entertained while recovering from surgery, I have joined the 90&9 March Madness pool. I can't imagine that any of my picks are even close to accurate. They're based purely on name recognition and current rank and have nothing to do with the players, or their abilities. I haven't actually seen a college basketball game all season.
If nothing else, my picks should provide endless amusement to the rest of the crew. I just want a shot at that Harley.

Hey, I didn't even look at the current rankings and I don't recognize many of the team names. Maybe I should at least look at the rankings before noon on Thursday. If I can just rank higher than Bradley...for the SECOND year straight!
