Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2015 9:18 am
Monday after the Superbowl is always the start. Before that point, it's just a few lunatics who pay follow college basketball. Today is the first day that the nation starts paying attention, and over the next two months this is the most visible and talked about sport in the country, the manifestation of "madness" itself. "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." This is our time.
Today, the world wakes up to find Duke as the darling of the college basketball world. Who's this "Virginia" of which these polls and bracketologies speak? Ah, looks like Duke beat them, so it's really all about Duke, right? And Kentucky is undefeated? That's because they haven't played Duke! And wow! it looks like it could be Gonzaga's year to establish itself as King of Everything. UCLA looks hot - don't count them out! Welp, that's it.
