Time left until the tip-off of the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game. I’m 110% for the Kansas Jayhawks, while trying to remind myself that at some level, this is just a game. I just want to see both teams play their best; that is what got them both on center stage tonight. I still think college basketball is one of the finer forms of competition left, the NCAA’s and teevee’s efforts to turn it into yet another sideshow notwithstanding.
What other sporting event pits 64 teams against each other in a winner-take-all, single elimination extravaganza? Small school teams and large school teams have but to win six in a row, and cut down the nets and claim the trophy. And tonight, it happens. There are no Cinderellas on the court tonight; nevertheless, the drama will be intense.
And that part about just another game? It’s another game the same way open heart surgery is just another operation.
Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
