Sarah,

To someone outside of the US this all must sound goofy. The US national college basketball tournament is going on this month. They call it "March Madness".

Pretty much NOTHING is more important right now. They have done studies that show worker productivity falls during the tournament (and many bosses & supervisers don't seem to care ).

I guess you could compare it to the World Cup.

Personally, I don't understand what all the fuss is about. Louisville is going to take it this year and everyone knows it

Go CARDS!

I don't know about that Ken - Our commander in Swish has you falling to UNC

Sarah,

I have this much fun with World Cup as well. I like the big draw tournaments. Euro Cup was also a lot of fun, despite the fact the England didn't even qualify!

How's that Canadian national soccer team? :-)

Everything picks back up tomorrow and the top seeds are burying everybody. We have a bunch of #1 vs #4 and #2 vs #3 teams playing. The biggest "longshot" is Arizona, who has been to the tournament 25 years in a row.

I had Louisville losing the Wake Forrest -- who lost in the first round! That's my one wipeout at the round of 16.

Ken - the way your team played today - damn!!! Might not be stopped. AZ was a rag doll.
