A National Holiday.
This is 4 weeks of Christmas for me.
Bring on the Madness! Take Vacation every year. My favorite time of the year! Go Illini!
Birthday is the 18th, so I was born into the madness! A day of NCAA madness is a great birthday present!
I wonder if I’m the only one. I would so much rather they cut it back to 64 teams. Cut those early rounds/play in games.
I know they will not, but to me it’s ridiculous.
They want the money so it stays.
It adds for more teams, right? Just cut the number of at large by four.

Muted my tv so fast.
do we really want an Akron/Illinois match up? I don't
ok, here we go
I forgot to get my request for PTO in this year.
We’re gonna have our hands full if we get a red hot 3 point shooting team like SDSU or Colgate in the first round. Hopefully it’s an average shooting team with no size down low.
No. That’s a loss
Yes, they're bad and would be overseeded as a 13.

I'm also on board. I feel like those play in games are hardly paid attention to anyway. At the very least, make all the 16s be the play in. But even fewer people will watch those games
Completely forgot about him until now. I don't remember what they were, but didn't he have some really terrible takes that pretty much made clear he did not follow college basketball? Anyone remember the what the lowlights were?
The advantage of work from home. Or should I say “work” from home.
