There's nothing in the world like March Madness! But it's not the Blue Devils or the Huskies or the Bruins or any other perpetual power that makes March Madness what it is. It's the schools like Hampton or Bucknell that I for one don't even know where they're located that bring the real excitement to the tournament. Who will be the Cinderella team at this year's big dance?
And it's not the big name players that draw my attention, but people like Alex Thompson (pictured right) who come in off the bench and give their team the spark it takes to win the game, as Alex did Sunday against the Buckeyes. Go Hawks!!
March Madness is the one time each year when the no-name player or school really has a chance to be a giant killer. So while Memphis or Duke will likely walk away with the trophy at the end of it all, until that time I'm cheering for the Cinderellas.
i'm just excited for my crimson tide to be in... roll tide! all the way to the terrific 32!

Cinderellas I like. But my true love is my Memphis Tigers, who are finally back as a quality team baybee!!!
