March Madness
It’s that time of year again, for the NCAA tournament better known as March Madness. And yes, I get MAD about it. It’s the time of year where you cheer for teams, where you may not know the players or coach, or where the school is located. Everyone has their own philosophy and strategy to pick the final four teams and have the winning bracket. It is as big here as in the states, well at least in the locker rooms with numerous discussions going on game after game. Because of course it is an American thing, people not related to basketball over here don’t know anything about the Madness. No matter what your occupation is, you probably have an office pool going, and some money on it. What makes March Madness so special, is that you get to watch kids between the ages of 18 and 22 play with so much emotion and passion to become champion, because every game is a one-game playoff. This is one of the few sporting events, no matter how crazy a pick is, it could be right (George Mason making the final four). That’s probably why my wife has beaten me every year. Which ends this year…
