Hey, ya got your favorites in the NCAA tournament?? I've got 2, Wisconsin Badgers, and Marquette Eagles.....

I didn’t fill out a bracket, I did always like doing that, but this year??? Not so much, but I will watch my favorites for sure. Will always watch the final four AND for sure the championship. Am sick there is $$$$$ involved now….JMHO, BUT, I wish the whole money thing wouldn’t have EVER come into college sports. It’s just the destruction of one of the last fun and pure sporting events that has been forever changed since they allowed $$$$$ into it. 🤬 🤬 🤬

Last year's team was a thing of beauty, it's as if the basketball gods touched that team, it was a beautiful thing to watch, unselfish team basketball.

The only other team with such chemistry, to me, was an old Pete Carrol, Princton team

Michigan is practically causing me to have a heart attack, but we made it to the Sweet Sixteen! Which would have seemed absolutely impossible before the season started, so at this point it's all gravy.

Really likeable group of guys, too.

Will make the Sweet Sixteen. Full disclosure. I made this claim after they already did. Now I know what insider trading means

If I make a pick without knowing. This is starting to sound the like the script of a Steve Martin Movie.
