"March madness" is upon us

March is living up to its reputation as it comes in like a lion today. Tornadoes in the south are part of a large weather storm producing blizzard conditions in the Midwest. But what I like about this month is the NCAA college basketball playoff system we call "March Madness." In keeping with the "madness" theme, the University of Illinois is banning it's Native American mascot, Chief Illiniwek, just to please the NCAA and host the tournament. The regular season ends Sunday with probably THE game of the year, Duke at North Carolina. All of the other great ACC teams must spend their study time preparing for Duke and UNC both, so when these two teams meet, you know it is going to be great basketball. By the way, if you have not registered for the CBS sportsline.com, you need to do it now! This will enable you to keep track of the NCAA tournament while you are at work via the internet, just learn to use that toggle button when the boss walks by! Other sites to watch this month are theacc.com, the site for Atlantic Coast Conference tournament, and goduke.com for the latest Duke basketball news!
