Right now, I do not know anything about the NCAA tournements, for women nor men. Sure, I know that the perennial favorites are probably in there somewhere. North Carolina, Duke, Tennessee women, UConn, blah, blah, blah, will all be playing in the 2007 addition of March madness.
At this time of year, people who paid no attention at all to basketball tune in, get acquainted with the teams, and pick their "brackets." Of course, they're always wrong, because very few pay attention to basketball in college and just parrot what they hear on the sports shows. IN any case, I'm going the other way.
Instead of brushing up on my NCAA basketball, I'm going to try to avoid the bracket-frenzy coming at me from every angle. No office pools, not friendly competition, no checking it out in USAToday, no wondering who will make the Sweet-16, or the Elite 8, or the Final 4. I will even try to avoid discovering who the champions are for as long as I can.
Like the cop said to the doctor in "The Fuguitive", (when the doc said he didn't kill his wife) "I DON'T CARE!"
What about you?
