Anyone excited about March madness starting soon?

Me! Me! Me! I love college basketball. I get in several pools. Go Kentucky!

Considering my office throws a huge party on Tuesday and a bracket with the chance to win some money, yes. I'm slowly becoming a basketball fan thanks to FI but I don't go crazy.

I am excited that my alma mater just joined D-1 schools. Too bad they can't even compete for 4 years. Boo.

I'm excited about ACC madness right now! NC State playing BC right now.

GO PACK!!!

Fi is very excited and keeps talking about it!  I've come to realize I need to just be an all-around sports fan to be with my fi and my own family so I do enjoy watching the games.  There's something about college sports that can be so much more exciting then pro and I think it's because they play their hearts on where many of them won't be going pro.

Heck yeah!!  Our conference tournament is going on now but I'm ready for the road to the Final Four!  Go KU Jayhawks!

Thrilled! Finally good sports. Pissed because Eastern Michigan lost in the damn first round of the MAC tourney (to the worst team, despite EMU winning their division).

I'll be splitting time rooting for the rest of my MI teams-- U of M, MSU and U of Detroit.

I love March solely for "Fug Madness" which is a bracket run by the blog GoFugYourself. It's a competition to name the worst dressed "celebrity" of the year and it's hysterical. As for the round orange ball competition thing...yeah no interest in that.

I play in my works bracket competition, but I haven't watched any games. The first year I did, I actually won! Everyone laughed at my picks, but I ended up picking one of the final teams right!

That's the other thing that I think makes March Madness so interesting - the top team can be knocked out in the first game and a total underdog team could end up winning the whole thing.

That's been happening a lot lately too. It does make it more exciting.

My aunt LOVES (like beyond normal love, almost obsession) rooting for underdogs. It's super fun to be around her when one of them is around.

Yes! Go GREEN!

I won last year, so I'm not doing a bracket this year. I'm going out on top

Me!  I lived in Syracuse for 4 years, and enjoyed going to their games.  Go Orange!!  My parents went to Michigan State, so I root for them too haha.
