Coming to an Arena Near You

I know, I know, football just kicked off; and hey, I'm not complaining, nothings better than college football, but this year I am craving some March Maddness. This is likely due to the lack of a tournament this past season, or at least the lack of one that was half way decent. I'm ready for the upsets. I'm ready for the Cameron Crazies. I'm ready for PTPers, Diaper Dandys, Skywalkers. I'm just ready, man. So ready in fact, that I've already created the entire field of 65 teams before Midnight Maddness has even been thought about. So thanks a ton to Lindy's NCAA Basketball preview, along with Andy Katz, Dickey V, and CBSsportsline.


Dick Vitale's ready, he's always ready.
