It takes two to tango...

IT IS MARCH. And everyone knows what that means, grab your brackets, your favorite pizza and nachos combo, a cold one, and a bunch of friends- it is time to dance! That's right folks, step right up and watch 65 teams full grown college boys aided by old old men run up and down a 94 foot wooden heaven for 40 minutes. Could it get any better than this?! Well it could if my team was in it...

They played awful this year, even as defending champs.

"What is this, Amateur Hour?"

No, well, yes, actually. This is a college tournament, so technically...

Bottom line- This is the greatest time of the year. Why? Because basketball is everywhere. No- not the garbage that they sell tickets to and call the NBA, and its more structured than even the summer league at the Rucker, this is basketball at its finest. The competition is fierce, the intensity is high, and the fans are crazy. 

I hate Duke, but that shot by Laettner? Well done.


CBS is the television home for the NCAA Men's basketball championship this year, as they have been the past few years. So yes, we have to put up with the terrible commentating and play by play that consists of obvious observations and wrong analysis. But they have a website. Why is this good? scratch that... Why is this superb? because then I can have a game on my tv, as many as I want running on my computer, and not have to pay attention to anyone thats talking. Turn up the music and announce the game in my head. That's the best part about college basketball. Even if your team isn't in it, it is still college basketball. There is still that excitement in everygame, still strategy, still emotion, still the feeling like you are there. No matter what the game is, wether it be my Tar Heels playing at home vs those duke-boys, or if its Oakland against Rockford two schools nobody hears about in D1 basketball, I still love to watch. So with that said, thank you technology and thank you CBS for using it to put all the games online... With a mute button. 

Tell us, Mr. Vitale- Who is the cinderella at this ball?

Oh you can't? Because CBS isn't worthy of your basketball expertise?

Shame.
