March Madness

Crazy Americans in San Antonio for the 2008 NCAA Final Four Championship

It's that time of year again. In a little over 2 hours the biggest and best tournament in all of sports will begin. Who is this year's Cinderella? Which team will live up to expectations? How will the mid-majors fair? Who will step up and become this year's Most Outstanding Player (MOP)? These questions and more are about to be answered in the next three and half weeks.

Is your bracket finished? I hope so. It doesn't really get more American than sports, all day, on CBS. 16 games today and tomorrow to start the Madness.

Last year's finale was an epic one. Two of my friend's were lucky enough to be there and share in a piece of history -- see above. What an American experience. They actually drove from Iowa on Saturday night after KU knocked off North Carolina. Drove all night and all day for the game on Monday night. They were in attendance when Mario Chalmers gave a metaphorical "Rock Chalk" to the Tigers of Memphis.

Let the fun begin for the 2009 tourney!
