March Madness

Is there some sort of a basketball tournament going on?

Normally, in March, I am your typical annoying basketball fan, consumed by the big tournament. This year, I have seen glimpses or watched a total of three games. I saw Texas beat UNC, and UAB beat Kentucky and get really annoyed by the announcer (sounded like Dick Emberg but I think he's on NBC) hailing this as a major David and Goliath battle. Give me a break. UAB is from Conference USA, which (I think) sent more teams to the tourney than the Big Ten. And they were a 9 seed; it's not like they're East Dickhead State A&M. Oh yeah, and I saw Texas Tech lose, rounding out the three games I saw either all or some of.

The reason why I haven't been able to partake in March Madness (I didn't fill out a bracket for the first time since 1987) is Emily and I have started some March (Moving) Madness of our own. We are in the process of repainting every room in the house and still living out of boxes.

This would explain the lack of posts lately, although I doubt the two of you who read this blog even noticed I've been gone. But I do plan to post more.

In the meantime, I am more excited about Spring Training (Win Twins!) and the Spurs/Wolves race for to the Midwest Division crown (GO SPURS GO!!), than I am about the NCAA tourney, but what the hell, GO UAB!!!!!
