MARCH MADNESS

They never tell you what you need to know.
Well it's the time again this year. With the exception of last year, I've been in Vegas or on-site for March Madness for the past decade. I'm taking off Thursday 18 and Friday 19, getting drunk, eating too much pizza, and losing money betting for 4 days straight with 2 of my friends in one of their basements (but it's a nice basement).
I figure it will be poetic justice that my alma mater will end up going to the Final Four this year and I can't be there live. Ugh, I guess there's more important things to worry about, like if Florida is going to cover this spread and is UNC/Duke going to stay under!

My school is struggling this year. They had a great squad last year, but they lost some talent. I am unsure if they will make the cut. So, rather than watch the NIT - I’m going to enjoy the big dance.
It was WAY better. No reservations or table minimums required at the bars. Lot less crowded and you can go see live games there because at least 5 west coast conferences play their tournament there including the PAC.
I love watching the games - and I love the early rounds when there are several games at once. There is nothing like seeing several games come down to the wire - all very close!
For regular guys - who are not mongers - vegas must seem great - as it offers “classy” strip clubs with lots of girls - gambling - nice pool parties - and it’s probably a great location for a guys weekend trip.
It’s kind of like my strip clubbing. I’m accustomed to living without. Hopefully my enthusiasm will bounce back when things open up100%.
