College basketball at NCAA tournament time...so good and so much fun to watch. If you fill out a brackets chart and play against yourself or others there is even more reason to enjoy the March Madness (although the Final Four play on the first weekend in April).
Its been a very good year for Notre Dame, so I will be hoping they make it to the final four...they have a decent shot, I think.
If you are old enough to remember, then this time of year takes you back to 1979...back to "The Game." Magic Johnson vs. Larry Bird! Sure, it was Indiana State vs. Michigan State...but not really. What it was was Bird against Johnson. What it was was a college basketball fan's dream-come-true.
And there is always a chance that another dramatic match-up will take place in the tournament. Always a chance that a tremendous individual effort will carry a team to the final weekend. Always a chance that your team will be crowned the champion.
Last year, as an Indiana resident, it was great to see the Bulldogs of little Butler University of the Horizon League come to within one point of winning it all against the mighty Duke Blue Devils.
At this time of year...there is always a chance. Bring it on!
