March means St. Patrick's Day, warmer weather (hopefully), and, most importantly, March Madness. It's impossible to not be a part of the tournament in some way when you're living on a large campus, whether it's going to the games or filling out a bracket. But it's a different experience for everyone, especially those who don't exactly follow sports. You've probably had these thoughts during the tournament if you're also someone who still doesn't get all the hype of March Madness:
1. Why is it called March Madness when half of it is played in April?
2. How many teams are there?
3. There's 64? That's so many, how am I gonna decide who wins?
4. Why are none of the teams in a region where their school is actually located?
Last time I checked, Minnesota is not in the south.
5. I'll just start in the top left corner and go in order, gotta be logical.
6. What are the chances a 16th seed will beat a 1st seed?
7. Basically zero? Maybe this year will be the first
*Puts down South Dakota State to win entire tournament*
8. I'm pretty sure Duke is one of my school's rivals so I can't put them down to win.
9. I applied to Notre Dame! Maybe I should pick them to win.
10. I don't actually have to watch all these games right?
11. Okay deciding between Michigan State and Miami. The Spartans are a pretty cool mascot, I'm gonna go with them.
12. Should I stay loyal and pick my school or who will actually win?
Sorry Terps, you've been slacking lately.
13. I've heard UCLA boys are cute, so they must be good at basketball.
14. Finished the first round, I need a break from all this.
15. I'm getting tired, can I just pick the highest seed for everything?
16. Calling it the Sweet Sixteen makes it sound more fun than it actually is.
Sadly, it's nothing like the Hilary Duff song.
17. Got it down to the Final Four! How do I decide between all these 1 seeds now?
18. I literally haven't watched a single game all year, how am I supposed to be qualified to pick these?
19. I heard someone say they didn't like Kansas. Looks like they're out.
20. Villanova is near my school, I'll just have them win. Plus I think they won last year too so they're probably good.
21. How long until I find out if I win?
*looses interest after 2 days*
