March Maddness

I don't have it.

In fact it would take me a little research to  tell you who is even playing and also where they are in the tournament. I am just not a college basketball person.

Even with that fact I have somehow managed over the years to get talked into joining a bracket of some sort.  Which ususally lead to me choosing my teams based on color of uniforms or mascot because I knew nothing about any of  the contenders.

This year we were really busy around sign up time and we did not get in on the action.  I hear from people weekly that their bracket was messed up by one team, which when you have a bracket that big one is usually all it takes.   Koodos to those of you playing the field this year.   I am OK with the fact that I am not playing this year. 

I am a football fan.  Well to be more precise I am a Husker fan.  The Red and White Spring game is April 14th this year.  It is basically just a glorified practice, but really fun to watch.   When I was younger I attended a few of these games by being involved with the drug free program at my local school.  You went down on the field at half time and took a plegde to be drug free.  It was a fun day out for a great cause. 

 A few years ago when we got a new coach,  they started selling tickets to this practice. soon the Spring game turned into a regualr game day, which if you have ever been to a game day in Nebraska.... well lets just say it's pretty awesome.  It gives everyone the oportunity to be a Facebook sports writer for the day, giving out their predictions on who should be the QB and what the D looks like this year. 


I do enjoy watching other athletic events.  Unfortuanately basketball just never really grew on me.
