So, March Madness has started and as in years past, I am following the goings on as only someone with the barest understanding of WTF is going on can.
First, thanks Louisville for totally effing up my Sweet 16. Break my heart, why don’t you? I mean, Morehead State? WTF?? And Vanderbilt, don’t think that I didn’t notice that Richmond beat you… Ugh, I would be concerned that the world has gone dangerously off its axis, except that I actually didn’t even get my act together to join my employer’s pool for this so it’s not like I’m out any $.
However, the saddest of all is my beloved Gonzaga (actually, the saddest thing of all is the absence of Maryland from the tournament altogether – dear Terps, I had you winning the whole enchilada a few years ago, and now this??). Gonzaga, you let a college where the only major is philosophy beat you at basketball?? Did you not feel the warmth of the love from an entire nation giggling about what the hell is a Gonzaga? And furthermore, I just used my Awesome Subtraction Skills (learned at a college w/ more than one major…) to determine that it was not even a close game. At least the other dead to me schools came close. For shame, Gonzaga, for shame.
