It's College Basketball Tourney Time Again!!!

This is truly my favorite time of year! I love NFL football, but there's just something special in the air during conference and NCAA Tournament time!! I remember even in middle and high school sneaking in walkmans and listening to games during classes. I love trash talking with my friends. It's all in fun. I grew up in ACC country and bleed Carolina Blue. But I love seeing the Cinderella (appropriate term for this board ) teams come through the first and second rounds and beyond even sometimes.

The fun is just beginning!!!

For some reason the only time I watch NCAA BB is when Ohio State makes it to the tournament. (or a FL team is doing really bad in the tournament).

Now, come August I will be clued to the TV watching NCAA football every Saturday starting at 10am with ESPN College Gameday. I miss Kirk Herbstreet already.

Count me as one of those March Madness fools. I love the tournament! I've got my pencil and paper all ready to fill in my brackets. And I have an added bonus of having my college team in the tourney this year! Go Siena Saints!

Another Tar Heel Born, Tar Heel Bred here - Class of '06. I was at work yesterday during Carolina's first game - didn't have any way to watch it, but had the ESPN scoreboard pulled up on my computer. You could tell the rest of the office did too, because there were many moments of fist-banging, muffled cheering/groaning throughout the office.

I love tournament time. Growing up in NC, it's a requirment - my teachers in school used to pull TVs in so we could watch the Friday games at school. I grew up a Wake Forest fan (most of my family went there) but I was the black sheep and went to UNC. Therefore, I seem to cheer for both the underdog (Wake) and the favorite (Carolina). Last year seeing Davidson make it so far was fun, too - they are in the same conference as the university I work at.

This is the time of year where we confuse our neighbors. During football season it's all Buckeyes and Browns, but during March, we fall back to our 5 years in CT and are Huskies fans all the way.
