I gripe about this every year.
My bracket is hanging on for dear life at this point. It always fares well Rounds 1 and 2, but afterward...Fuhgeddaboudit!
But, March Madness never disappoints. The upsets, the overtimes, and the Cinderella stories all make for good Tourny watching. This definitely makes up for the agony one goes through when another team bites the dust, bracket-wise. Plenty of that every year.
March Madness, a good way to start spring.
addendum: 7:06pm. 27th March 2011. my poor, poor bracket...
