just sittin' around waitin' for the madness to begin

conference tournament time is pretty much the period when i start to pay attention to college basketball and decide who i am gonna waste my thirty dollars on in whatever betting pool i enter. i've been filling out brackets since i was in junior high and have never finished better than 3rd. this year i expect pretty much the same sort of result. North Carolina is my early lean...but considering i am pretty sure everyone i know is either gonna pick them or UCLA to win it all there's that little part in the back of my brain telling me to roll the dice and go with someone like Memphis or even a darkhorse team like Louisville to win it all. 30 dollars was never thrown away with such ease. you'd have to be a sucker to think you're gonna win...unless your friends are all morons or you get lucky. and lucky isn't exactly something that comes natural to me. regardless more will be written on this subject in the next few weeks as the most exciting time of the sports year is about to begin. MB get that projector ready, we is 'bout to get our tournament on.
