It's honestly one of my favorite times of the whole year - a close second to football season, March Madness is hour after hour, day after day of nothing but basketball! Yes, shocking I know, this totally girly girl loves sports. Well, I love college sports. Nothing against professional sports or anything, I just think it's silly to be so wrapped up in something where players get paid millions of dollars to do their job - I love the passion, the excitement, and the talent of college sports. And mostly I love my Clemson Tigers.
As a Clemson fan, I have seen many fantastic wins and many horrific losses; I've experienced the highest highs (beating Duke 74-47 my senior year - 2009) and the lowest lows (um, probably giving up our should be win over UNC this past weekend in overtime...ouch...). And that's just basketball - let's not even get into football yet. But for the most part I've remained a loyal fan, loving every second of those 40 minute games.
Last night, my Tigers dominated UAB and successfully gained their first NCAA tournament win since 1997. I was like...10 in 1997. I cannot honestly believe it's been that long since we won. But that year we also went to the Sweet Sixteen - maybe this is a good sign??
After carefully (or not so carefully) filling out my bracket, I am ready for this show to get on the road. Clemson really impressed me last night, and I hope we can keep it up and beat West Virginia tomorrow. I am fully prepared for a lunch date with my TV and my Tigers - the game is at 12:15 on CBS! I have them winning against WVU (for better or for worse...), but as for the rest of my bracket, you'll just have to wait til I tell you how I do. Last year I managed to come in 2nd or 3rd, and for a little while I was actually winning! Amazing, I know. Hope you all get to catch some of the fun that is March Madness. Whether you bet or not, it's still fun to make a bracket and see just how lucky you get!
