It's that time of year again.

And no I'm not referring to Christmas (for goodness sake it's not even Thanksgiving yet), or the end of college football season.

I'm talking about college basketball.

Four years ago I rolled my eyes at the thought of college basketball and March Madness, what's that? I was clueless. But being at Gonzaga for two years I quickly overcame my aversion to the game and realized how fun it is. Honestly, a good game in the Kennel beats out a good game at Mile High any day. The action is constant and I feel like the players in college ball have a bit more punch than the pros who get paid millions.

Gonzaga isn't ranked yet, but I have faith. They do better as an underdog team anyways. Just last week they lost to the #2 team by only four points. To me, Gonzaga is the perfect team to root for. They come from a small city with nothing else to put it on the map except their championship arena football team, but I don't know anyone that follows that sport anyways. When I look at the players sometimes I wonder how they even manage to stand up to teams like Michigan State and Duke. They seem small and most of them are white. And I love that Gonzaga's best player comes from Colorado. No wonder they are sometimes referred to as "America's Team," people love watching surprising, unexpected wins.

I'm not expecting them to win March Madness, but I'm betting that they will at least make it to the second round. And when they loose, I'm hoping none of the players fall the the floor kicking and screaming--I never was a huge fan of Morrision.
