March Madness

Today is the first day of the big dance and the debate many people are having is it the best day of the year for sports fans. I don't think it is, only on a technicality. Super Bowl Sunday is the best day of the year for sports because even those non sports fans watch for the commercials and the hype around the Super Bowl.

The reason why the beginning of this tournament is so special is because of how many ways it impacts the lives of American's. This is the beginning of the best tournament in the country and gives all of those out there highs and lows while some of us throw our bracket sheets away and others go to collect there office pool winnings. For the next 4 days there will be non-stop college basketball action. Cinderella's slipping on the glass shoe and many locks going home early.

While it not only gives us something to watch, it gets us out of the rut of the horrible month of February in which nothing all that interesting in sports is going on. Spring is in the air and baseball is quickly approaching. This tournament is the best thing to happen to sports every year. Whether it be Duke's win over Kentucky to help them win the National Championship or a buzzer beater in which upsets your favorite it is always exciting and always a good time.
