Getting Ready for March


It still feels like it was yesterday. The floor pulsating. Vibrations, picked up by my feet, riding up my spine. Bands battling. The audience humming. Basketballs bouncing. All grew louder as I made my way down the tunnel toward the main event. I felt like a tree branch floating along in a tributary that spit you out into a vast ocean. When I entered the Palace at Auburn Hills, my life was forever changed. I was overwhelmed with so many emotions.

It was the first time I'd ever covered an NCAA Tournament. To this day, that moment stands as the happiest I've ever been in my life.

So you can see why I'm amped up for March 2010. Just like every year since my childhood, March is my favorite month. The frenzied pace at which college basketball's regular season ends and spills into the postseason just fills me with joy. You know what else makes me happy? Bracketology.
