March Madness

Every sports blog has to have the standard March Madness post right? I figured I'd get one out of the way this morning while I'm waiting for day one of the tournament to start. The sun is shining; it feels like a brand new season. 64 teams get a fresh start and all it takes is one six game winning streak to hoist the prize. And while it's a great day outside, I'll just have to open the blinds in my apartment because I don't plan on leaving my confines. It'll be a blizzard of junk food, soda (maybe an adult beverage if you're of age and choose to participate), good friends and of course basketball.

There will be drama. There will be big shots and, for the first couple days at least, some blowouts. Players and coaches have the chance to cement a place in history over the next three weekends. Fans have their brackets filled out and we've all joined our buddies' bracket pools. All that's left to do after the long regular season is sit back and enjoy the playoff that football doesn't give us.

So how do you enjoy watching the tournament? Especially the first weekend since there's so many games. Anyone care to share their picks for the Final Four? I've Kansas, Syracuse, West Virginia and Villanova. Agree? Disagree?
