i'm with you. But i'm watching the SEC. Of course once i gators lose in the second round of the SEC i'm sure i won't care. Then it looks like another 5 seed for us, which means upset by the 12 seed.

It hasn't hit me yet, but it will tomorrow when the Big Ten tournament starts.  Unfortunately I have to be in a seminar all day.

Oh, I feel pain, but it's a different pain - damn those Tigers of Clemson! Damn those Terrapins! Damn! Damn! Damn!

Naah, I'm eating it up. Even changed my avatar, for a while at least. For some reason I'm always this way... ho-hum through football and most of the regular basketball season (except some key games - Louisville, NC, etc.)

Then March rolls around and I'm a sucker for all the hype. Probably won't get to actually watch today's game (Florida!!), but I'll keep tabs on it and revel in the win... :-)

BTW, that was some game between Florida and Alabama yesterday! I missed our own nailbiter, but the Fla/Ala game was a nice distraction from the friend-of-kids' birthday party I was attending...

BLASPHEMY!

One can never, EVER, have too much college basketball. I love this time of year!!

Besides, what better way to utilize two half-days of vacation, four half-days if you do the first two weekends? Fill out a bracket for the office pool, grab a cell phone, turn on the "auto-reply" feature on e-mail, head to a favorite sports bar for some GREAT college basketball. Nothing is as inspiring as desperation.

ANY basketball is too much basketball.  Thank goodness baseball is right around the corner.

.. And it just got even worse/better now w/the tournament.

Go Illini!!!
