MARCH MADNESS!!: And the METHOD behind it
Every year there comes a time when we are all consumed by an omnipotent force. Whether we know it or not, our lives and thoughts succumb to....the madness. We do not know why or even how it has come to this. None of us follow college basketball throughout the year. I mean, we're in high school and have not even reached the insanity that is college. And yet there is just something that draws you to such a tournament. Something that makes you want to forget you ever cared about anything else. Is the many wondrous memories that arise when 68 teams representing 68 different schools compete together in one final battle. Or is it the immense heart-wrenching drama that comes from filling out one's own bracket. The many days that some commit to attaining the perfect bracket leads them no near....madness. As we speak I am checking the scores of 4 different games. And as Utah St. begins to drive me towards near insanity, I shall conclude that March Madness is the ultimate form of conformity.

Adam, its funny that i just stumbled upon this right after blogging myself. I blogged about the poeple who act like they are professionals on the subject of the madness, but when it comes down to it, the only poeple they know about are the big shots (Jimmer or Jared).
ReplyDeleteAdam I think the claim you make is extremely valid. March Madness is just a way for people who may or may not have knowledge about college basketball to conform just to be part of a group
