The best part of March Madness?

The bad teams.
The bad teams who aren’t even in the top 40 but know they have a shot to win one game and pull off a big upset. it’s teams you know nothing about. Like SWS or Kent State. Kent State? I think my sister dated a guy named Kent State. That’s the best part. You -know- there’s a 12 or 13 or 14 seed that’s gonna ruin the season for one of these big-conference-.500-record pretenders. That’s the part I love – the mediocre big-conference teams getting bounced by hard-working, non-chest-thumping scholar-athletes. More power to them.

I’m rooting for Nevada and Penn and Creighton and Ohio and UAB. I want the big boys brought down!

What’s why the women’s tournament is so lame compared to the men – nothing happens other than chalk. Who wants to watch that? Just move all the #1 and 2 seeds to the final 8 and start from there. Quit wasting my time with a 64-team field when we all know only 8 teams have a shot.
