clap clap clap clap clap clap.. Tourney Time Has Arrived*
Get your brackets ready! I've already joined Paul's** pool, where I will not be getting my ass kicked as I did in his fantasy football league. My winning prize had better not be an ARod t-shirt.
The tournament is the absolute greatest sporting event. I can't even argue this point, nothing else comes close. I'm SO excited to just sit and watch hoops all weekend long. And now, with Tivo I get to see EVEN.MORE.GAMES.
If you are a fan of collegiate hoops, Tivo has informed me that ESPN Classic will be playing some outstanding games from tournaments past:
3/16: Arizona v. Gonzaga 2003. This triple OT game is one of my absolute favorite games. By the 3rd OT these kids were so exhausted they were running up and down the court like.. well, Craig Forth. Neither team would give an inch.
3/26: Indiana v. Michigan 1979 (aka Bird vs. Magic for the National Championship). I've never seen this game.. I can hardly wait.
and, of course, the all time greatest game in college hoop history (ahem, perhaps a slight exageration)
3/15: Syracuse v. Kansas 2003. If you are reading this site and don't know how this one ends (Hakim blocking Lee's shot after missing the 2 biggest free throws of his career): for shame!
* actual cheer used during my high school days. NO, I was not a cheerleader.. I was on girls sports teams - we had to cheer for ourselves.
** Paul being the illustrious espn.com author of Top 100 Sports Movie Quotes. Go read it now so when he becomes super cool with his own cartoon like the Sports Guy, you can say you read him when...-----
