Finally something about March Madness...in April


Butler Blue II is my homeboy.
 So this has probably been my favorite NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament ever (I know, I said the same thing last year), for a wide number of reasons - My team was in it and played a great game against one of my other favorite teams.  My bracket was totally busted very early.  Lots of upsets.  Lots of parity.  A mid-major in the final (again).  A cinderella team that nearly every sports talking head said did not even DESERVE TO BE IN THE TOURNAMENT making it to the Final Four.  Young coaches with actual student-athletes, rather than your usual athletes posing as students until they qualify for the draft.  Every game being broadcast.  What a great three weekends of sport.

And then there's this guy - a DIII white-boy guard with A FIFTY INCH VERTICAL winning a dunk contest.  No cars, no choirs, no gimmicks.
