Magical Moment

The countdown has begun, it is less than an hour away from tip-off. Every March I look forward to the first day of the NCAA Tournament. In middle school and high school, I could not wait to get home from school to watch the games.

Hopefully, I do not miss one of those moments, a Bryce Drew game winning shot for Valpo.

I know I am corny, one of my favorite songs is the "March Madness Song."

One of the most exciting days I ever had was traveling to Worcester, Mass to see UConn and Syracuse in the opening round. My excitement soon turned to sadness when my Orange lost to Vermont.

Today, I have that same enthusiasm for March Madness. Except, I am working 2nd shift. That means I will be able to view the first set of games that start at 1230pm. I contemplated calling out sick, but I have decided to tough it out.

Hopefully, work will not be so dreadful. Then again, work is always dreadful when it is March Madness. I will be sitting in front of my computer refreshing the scores every chance I get.

I still think Temple has a chance to pull of the upset today. Drew Neitzel of Michigan State is a good player.

Can there be a magical moment or three today?
