It's finally here! March Madness has struck in all its glory & the Ediger household is already in the "basketball on TV all the time" mode which began this past weekend with the conference tournaments. I'd have to say that if the NCAA Tourney is anything like the conference tournaments have been then we are in for a treat! I couldn't believe how many close/down-to-the-wire finishes there were. Of course, my team, Kansas, got the short end of the stick on one of those finishes. But, knowing there is basketball heaven beginning in just a few short days takes the sting out of that loss a little (just a little, though).

Once again this year, as we have for the past several years, we will be hosting online pools for the tournament! Click on the graphic in the right column to go to our March Madness Mania site. Click the appropriate pool in the "Join the Madness" graphic & make your picks! Entry deadline is Thursday morning tipoff of the first game (around 11am, I think), so get your picks in early! Then bookmark the site & check back throughout the tournament to see how you are doing against the competition!
