We are about an hour away from tip off! Let the fun begins!!!!!!

But your brackets really do first four games? I have never considered such a possibility. The games Tuesday were captivating, but the ones last night were brutal.

Yeah we included them...
Yeah we included them...
My friends and I decided to include the play-in games just for fun. Then I went to the March Madness website and they included them too. To be honest, I didn't have a clue about these games and felt it just gave people a chance to get an early lead.

I hate it because I have two enormous tests coming up in the next week and I can't just sit around watching all the games playing today.
But I love today too, because a club I'm in is doing a tour of the Big House, so I'm going to be taking a tour of the stadium as a study break, so I get to see the locker rooms and walk the field. I'm pretty damn excited for that.

But we don't have a prayer. We were all never going to call Div 1-AA "FCS", or call the Big Ten East and West Divisions "Leaders" and "Legends". But the great media marketing machines wore us down.

Not sure about that
Not sure about that
This one's a little different. Names like "I-AA" and "FCS" are just arbitrary labels. "First round" is more descriptive. For 64 of the teams, this is their first round of NCAA tournament action. For only four teams is it the second round, and few even watch their "first round" games, anyway. I could possibly see the NCAA backtracking on this.
