Review and Results of March Madness

Here is my Review and results of ‘MARCH MADNESS’?

March Madness

March Madness


As I explained in my other blog posting,
March Madness is all about men college basketball.

Especially the NIT and the NCAA tournaments.

Where hours are spend agonizing over what schools to pick, do we go for the long shot or pick the favorites.

Some fans will use the school mascots as the deciding factor. What school’s mascot will win over the other school’s mascots? There are still others that will simply flip a coin.

It all comes down to only 68 teams competing over a matter of just a few weeks starting in March, hence the term ‘March Madness’ and it doesn’t end until there is just one team left standing.

The winning college teams enter the NCAA tournament; the college teams that are the runners up enter the NIT tournament as their consolation prize. But it’s the NCAA tournament that will have people glued to their TV, radios and their computers.

ESPN even started a place where people could sign up and tract their brackets. Well over 3 million people signed on to ESPN’s March Madness to select their teams and filled out their brackets, with millions doing it with small and large groups. It just fun.

If you are not a basketball fan it would be hard for you to imagine what all the fuss is about.

I joined in on the fun and picked most of the favorites to win and before the end of the tournament even got close, most of my brackets were a complete bust. However, while it lasted I was glued to the TV, watching and holding my breath as my teams either won or lost, enjoying every minute of it.

It wasn’t always like this, long before the idea of March Madness, there was still college basketball. I can remember watching college basketball long before the notion of bracketing was even born. In fact, I am not sure when the idea of using bracketology sprung up. It probably has something to do with our ‘social media’. Even the President of the United States filled out his bracket. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2013/03/20/president-obamas-bracket-2013-ncaa-mens-basketball-tournament.
Moreover, some herbs also fortify
tadalafil online cheap the function of anti-hyperplasia, anti-calcification, anti-fibrosis, and reduce the symptoms of frequent or urgent urination, and painful urination. Believe or not, millions are dependent on erection-enhancing medicines that generic viagra line help achieving erections for an intercourse. These supplements help in enhancing your brain function, nerves and the http://greyandgrey.com/spanish/abogados/ cialis canada pharmacy blood vessels near the penile organ. This gives rise to complications for the blood to actively get filled in the erectile tissues that are spongy in cheap online levitra nature and subsequently lead to a hard and long lasting in nature.
All I know is that I was a UCLA fan back when John Wooden was their coach www.coachwooden.com and I am still a fan, although I do have a little to less to cheer about this past year and the year before that. I am hopeful that with the hiring of a new coach, that they will be able to get past the first round in next year’s tournament http://www.presstelegram.com/sports/ci_22925919/ucla-introduces-new-bruins-basketball-coach-steve-alford?source=rss

We all know that Baseball is still listed as ‘The Great American Past Time’. But with the invention of the brackets, college basketball might be the new great American past time at least during March Madness.

There has been quite a bit of news lately regarding the loss of production in the work force do to this madness for college basketball. Some employers have tried to embraced it and use it as a means to improve moral in the workplace, others just see it as a waste of time, their time and their time is money.

I see no end to this phenomenon known as ‘march madness, as long as everyone loves a winner and these games are set at such a fast pace, what’s not to love.

TV sponsors know this and have adjusted the showing of ‘March Madness’ to guarantee a large viewing audience. No longer does March Madness actually end in March but closer to mid-April, ensuring the games are mostly played over weekends thus a larger audience.

I have tossed out this year’s brackets and have shifted my sports interest back to baseball and regular basketball. It was fun while it lasted and although I personal did not do well this year with my choices, I can’t wait until next year.

Christmas For a sports fan

Besides all the regular Christmas and family items, buy the tree, do the decoration, buying gifts, etc, etc. (and the list does seems endless) there is still sports!

December can be a hectic time of the year in the ‘Sports World’, starting with the baseball trades and this year there has been many surprises and a whole lot of money being spent. Both the Angels and the Dodgers, have spent the Angels getting Josh Hamilton for the outfield, to a five-year, $125 million contract and the Dodgers getting Zack Greinke as a starting starting pitcher with a $147 million, six-year deal And South Korean pitcher Ryu Hyun-jin with a six-year contract worth $36 million and more to come, just to help prepare themselves for next season and a chance to make it to the World Series.

As of today’s date, UCLA and USC are struggling and hopefully they will both make it past the first couple of rounds.

What Happen to the LA Dodgers

LA Dodgers, a team where bottom seem to be the only way the team was going to be number one at anything. They play like the game of baseball is like a Saturday outing at the park, you know, play a few innings, go in grab a beer , talk to the guys on the bench and when your turn to bat comes up the only thing you want to do is hit the ball as quickly as possible so you can get back to the bench and back to your conversation you were having with your team mates.

I don’t really know what to say, except that the term sucks. This is not the LA Dodgers I grew up with, the team that I would skip out of school to go see and when the player’s had heart. When playing the game meant more than just the pay check. When the owner had pride in owning the team.

Now you have the McCourt’s, the blood-sucking owners of the team, that can’t see anything but the bottom line. They raise the prices on everything and lower the quality of the team by cutting anyone that they were going to have to pay more for.

Have you seen the number of ‘triple A’ players that are coming in and then being sent back before they have to pay them any more than they are making at the ‘triple A’ level.

It has high amounts of vitamins, minerals, probiotics, antioxidants, enzymes, essential trace elements, amino acids, phytonutrients, healing mineral water, etc in the various canadian sildenafil chronic digestive disorders as well as keeping the youth. Did you see the last couple of games, where the Dodger s put in a player straight from ‘triple A’ to bat as a pitch-hitter and with players on the bases that could have tied the game. Come on; 2 outs, bottom of the 9th, with runners on the bases to tie the game and in comes a brand New Player from ‘triple A’ with no prior experience batting at the pro-level. Guess what? First pitch was outside and he swings, next pitch and he’s caught looking and the third pitch he’s out.

If I’m at home watching the game, and I can see what going to happen before it happens, either I darn good or the manager and coaches of the Dodger are darn bad.

Hey, by the way “Ethier” needs votes and you only have a couple of more days!!!
