"It's the most wonderful time of the year ..."

No, not Christmas - NCAA March Madness time! March is the month where annually our TV is always tuned to basketball. We watched the selection show & ESPN's Bracketology special after I got home from church last night. Just a couple of peeves at this point ...

• OSU definitely got the shaft! The selection committee chairman pretty much admitted that they didn't take into consideration the Big 12 Championship (& Big 10 one as well) because of the lateness of the game. Had they taken that into account there is no way that they would have put St. Josephs above OSU for the No. 1 seed. I'd say that I'm hoping those two meet up in the regional finals - but honestly I want to see St. Josephs lose in the first round.


• Big 12 only got four seeds? What happened to the dominance our conference has enjoyed the past several years? Notable shuns: Oklahoma, Colorado, & perhaps even Missouri (although I'm not sad a bit that they didn't make it).

Well, enough griping. I did want to invite everyone to join our pool for the tournament. No money involved - just for fun. Good luck!
