That time of year again.

It is that time of year again -- March Madness. You either love it or hate it. I remember as kid, I hated the NCAA basketball tournament because it took place of my favorite shows that were on in the evening. Now I love it because every year a group of us fill out our brackets and are glued to the tv for several hours watching the games to see if our "teams" make it to the end. I am not interested all year in college basketball until this point, then break out the brackets, pens, chips and pop and away I go, cheering for teams that I have never even heard of.
I pulled out my trusty old Gonzaga t shirt last night to cheer those Bulldogs on to victory.
For those of you who hate sports, just bear with the rest of us until this madness is over.

GO ZAGS!!

Gonzaga is a small Catholic college in Spokane, WA. Their mascot is the bulldog. I always knew they existed, but never paid attention to their basketball (college basketball in general) until about 10 years ago when they suddenly appeared in the NCAA tournament as the "cinderella" team -- meaning that they were the shocker of a small unknown school surviving the first rounds of the tournament. They have been a staple in the tournament ever since.
