I Love the Madness!!!!

March is such a glorious month. March means the start of spring, general conference on the way, the snow is starting to melt, and of course Dave*Fest, just to name a few. But the best thing about March is THE MADNESS!!! I love NCAA hoops and this year has been a little more special.

I spent Friday night with two good friends in Detroit watching a double header, including the Davidson upset of Wisconsin in the Midwestern regionals. I loved it! We were sitting at the 50-yard line (translation: midcourt), albeit in the upper bowl.

Stephen Curry was on fire (I under-predicted his 33 points by one) and it was an unusual joy to cheer against the Big Ten. Usually this would be a no-no, and a no-brainer, but I'm a sucker for the underdog and Curry looked like him, cape flying in the wind as he slashed, jumped, and dumped the threes. It was amazing.

I don't even mind that I paid $7 for nachos and $6 for a smoothie. Some things you can't put a price on. Oh, and did I mention that LeBron was there? He was cheering on Curry too . And when LBJ was on the big screen the Pistoncentric crowd booed the potential MVP-to-be. Beautiful. Gotta love the motorcity sports fans.

So, how's life in Michigan, you ask? Fantastic--especially when lived in Madness!

Oh, and to add insult to injury, I saw some of those "Witness" Ts around the stadium (usually associated with witnessing LeBron's greatness). I thought they for the W in Wisconsin, but it turns out I was wrong. They were for the Wildcats. Not so ironic, then, that The King stood up to praise the Badger's foe. Poor Wisconsin. I guess they'll have to take solace in another Big Ten championship. As for Davidson, they're still dancing. And still living the dream. And I am too. Thanks Underdog!
