Someone has to be watching the tournament

I can't believe I am the first post on the NCAA tournament. I'm not even that big a college basketball fan, but this year has been as exciting as I can remember.

Not that many upsets (go Butler), but a LOT of close games and scares for top teams.

Anyone else actually following the tournament?

Sure, some of us even formed a yahoo group to show how good we are at picking the brackets...

yah, I know - I posted it at the top - if you didn't notice. If I knew I would be this interested, I would have participated...

Yeah, I did notice that, a belated thanks! Not that it did much good... As neither did the short post I did over at Eps...

Not sure why the interest is down this year here at eaf.

I do know there is little interest here in Iowa due to the lack of any D1 colleges making the tourney. But Iowa Hawkeyes did beat Iowa State Cyclones in a big intra-state rivalry to advance in NIT. Whoop-de-doo...

I've watched a fair bit. I've been surprised by how many people I know who normally would be glued to their television watching basketball who are instead glued to their television watching war news instead. I was flabberghasted when my dad told me he'd hardly watched any basketball this year. One of my cousins told me the same thing. Normally by this time we'd have collectively spent hours talking about the games but my cousin and I haven't talked at all and dad and I only had one short conversation.
