March Madness (or Sadness)

Posted by Kevin Hazard, March 19th, 2007

It’s March, and if you are in the US, you have been inundated with college basketball marketing, so you know what that means: the NCAA men’s Division 1 tournament is in full swing: March Madness. At the end of the tunnel for one lucky team out of the 65 that made the field is the elusive “National Championship.” Unfortunately, that means that 64 teams in the tournament (and 269 teams that did not make the tournament) will not be National Champions: March Sadness.

Cutting Down Nets

A few of us were chatting up our prognostications as the tourney got underway, and unfortunately, some of the guesses for the championship have already been knocked out (my team included). Here’s a quick rundown on a few of our thoughts for the team that will come out on top on April 2nd:

Kevin: Texas (they could be a 16-seed, and I would still give them my vote)
Matt: Ohio State
Taylor: Texas (at least we can still look back on the Rose Bowl win against USC, huh Taylor?)

Vince Young

B&T: Florida
Larry: North Carolina
Robert (In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day): Notre Dame - They may have lost their game, but the Irish are certainly winners on St. Patty’s Day.

Todd: Doesn’t have a pick, but he’d bet on Ohio State every game: That would technically mean he’s picking Ohio State (You’ll have to excuse him because he’s a Canadian and the translation from American English to Canadian English and back must have confused him).
Adam: Ohio State
David (and I have to quote this one from his response): Three half empty (or half full - hey, I’m an optimist) bags of plastic sporks… What are we talking about again?

Spork

As Robert, Taylor, and I sulk in the knowledge that we don’t even have a chance, we wish our co-workers luck in rooting for their teams (though we wish David would seek some kind of mental help before we would root for his bags of sporks). Because I am no longer biased toward any particular team, I am just looking forward to a few more buzzer-beater games (unless Texas A&M is playing: as a UT fan, I can’t stomach the idea of them winning a National Championship).
