The Madness of March is upon us . . . . .

I do remember when in h.s. watching PC in the NIT tournament, but that's about my extent of my basketball enthusiasm.

Of course, living where I do, I'm now a Phillies baseball fan. It's rather nice to have a winning team in your own back yard. I can remember my father and oldest brother faithfully listening to all the Red Sox games on the radio. Boy - does that take me back a couple of years.

See if you ever notice a business advertising - Archie's Pizza in Pawtucket. My Uncle Archie was the founder and owner for many years before he sold it in the early 70's (?) due to declining health. I notice that they have expanded now, but when it was his, it was just the one shop - and one that made the best pizza you ever tasted!

I watch a little of some games, but don't know anything about the
rules of the game. My brother is a big fan and was a coach for many years.
His oldest daughter(my neice) has the bug also. It's a treat to watch them both when a big game is on.

The tourney begins on Thursday (actually there are play-in games Tuesday and Wednesday nights) at 12 noon. I don't cook for the next 4 days. I sit in front of the TV - switching back and forth - watching 3 games at a time. Pure Heaven

Thank you for this thread!

I've seen references to March Madness on a couple of websites and had no clue what they were talking about.

March Madness.....sports related.... No wonder I had no idea.
I have absolutely no interest in professional sports -- and Bobcat is even less interested (if that's possible).

You're very welcome. You did notice that March Madness is college basketball, not pro

I started following college basketball in 1995 when Valparaiso won the Mid Continent Conference but weren't in the NCAA tournament. They call it Hoosier Hardwood Hysteria and it affects not only college but high school teams. It's quite contagious

Then there was "The Shot" in 1988...

Valpo now belongs to the Horizon League, which gets an automatic NCAA bid. The Horizon League teams are all in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. This year Butler University (in Indianapolis) is playing in the NCAA for the Horizon League. Go, Butler!

Ooops! See what I mean -- clue free/interest free about sports.
