March Madness

I couldn't honestly care less about it.

Whenever I think of college sports my eyes glaze over and I start thinking about much more interesting things...like puppies or shoes.

But since I am trying to be a better sports person I tried to read some articles in the Sun-Times and Trib and found myself rereading certain lines over and over again. Boring.

So why do people care so much? That is what I really and truly want to know.

Most people who are rooting for these teams have no real ties to them. They didn't go to the school, their kids or parents didn't go to the school, they don't even live in the same state and yet they go crazy over them.

In an effort to give a crap I was rooting for the Fighting Illini.

My ties:
I live in Illinois...
I know some people who went there.

They lost 66-64 to the West Kentucky Hilltoppers.

Apparently they were a "fifth seed" team. They lost to a "sixteenth seed" team. It was a major upset.

I have a very vague idea as to what these "seeds" mean.

After some Googling I found out this:

Nothing.

Modern technology sucks. I just kept getting sites with other lames guesses and picks. Maybe later I'll find out. I've got other things to do.

I'm going to Mexico in three days. Thank by the time I come back it'll allbe done.

Stay fresh.
