Sheep Submission: Tourney Talk

If Digger's tie and highlighter don't match, he can't tell the difference between a 1-3-1 and 3-2 zone.

OK, fellas, it’s the only time of the year in which you like to hear “final four” and it has nothing to do with “The Bachelor.” Cinderella is not a Disney movie. A dunk-a-roo has nothing to do with donuts and a teardrop is something you cheer for. You look forward to seeing what color tie/highlighter combination Digger is going with for the day. Even though you hate it, you love it this time of year.
This is the only time of the year that you actually talk to Bob, the IT guy who never says a word. But you definitely want his money for the pool. Little do you know, Bob uses his nerd skills and will most likely win the entire thing. You’ll call it lucky, but, really, you have no better chance than he does. Just because you played high school football over ten years ago doesn’t qualify you to win a basketball pool. Let’s get real, this is the only pool you will even come close to; you’re most likely too overweight to enter an actual pool filled with water.
This is the only time you want to hear the word upset and be happy about it. Mondays now turn into days that you look forward to. Obviously not for being at work, but to talk trash about how you will have the perfect bracket.
It’s the only time guys get together and talk about Christians is when Laettner is involved. Men, for the first time root for the “Diaper Dandy.” Gambling is completely accepted and buzzer beaters are allowed to give you a heart attack.
So fill out those brackets, make sure Steve pays his money and let’s get nuts. This is March Madness.
