March Madness

It's March and that means millions of NCAA Tournament brackets are being filled out. Every fan hopes their school wins the championship and their bracket is as perfect as possible so they can cash in at the end. 

People will fill out only one and others will fill out dozens, but it doesn't matter how many you fill out because predicting a perfect bracket is almost impossible. According to TurboTax, you've got a one in 35.36 billion chance of filling out a perfect bracket. So, don't get mad when the 12-seed beats the five-seed you've got advancing. 

There is one fact that's still true about the NCAA Tournament. There has never been a 16-seed that's beaten a one-seed, but is this the year it'll happen? Odds are no, because it hasn’t happened, but then again never say never. 

The fanatics want buzzer-beaters, they want big upsets, but when the team they had winning the championship gets upset, well then they’re unpleasant to be around.  They are ripping their brackets into pieces as they yell out every possible curse word, and swearing they won't watch another game. They have a serious case of March Madness. 

Just remember one thing.

You can’t possibly be madder than the coaches, players and staff members who get upset by a lower seed.

This is still about college teams trying to win a national title, but what happens along the way no one can truly predict. That’s the beauty of it and that’s why everyone watches.
