Let the Madness Begin!!!

Well, I have to say that I look forward to the NCAA tournament every year. I especially can't wait for the first couple of days with game after game of upsets, buzzer beaters, and nail-biters. Someday I would love to watch a live game. It is win or go home and that makes the motivation for each player that much more intense. I do expect KU to win this year of course but I will say this: Watching the first two or three rounds is the best part of the tournament. This is where the ultimate upsets happen. I get into the *"Olympic-State" of cheering which I'll explain in a second. It creates a Hoosier-like atmosphere. A passion-filled fan am I of whoever is the underdog. I love this game!!! By the way, I see a KU vs Texas final and KU the victor. Erin Andrews, the ESPN analyst who is a female yet has chosen the last two champions, has picked KU to win it all. IT MUST BE A SIGN! HA!

*An Olympic-state of cheering happens when a whole country gets behind an athlete or team and roots them to victory. What an awesome thought to become unified as a country over a sporting event.

It happens to the best of us!

I had a whole blog typed up but it shut down on me so I am not neglecting my poor little old blog. As the governor of California used to say, "I'll be back."

Things You Might Not Know About Me.

Everyone else I know with a blog is doing this so why not me - I'll jump off the cliff because they are:





1.) I am a huge KU and Denver Broncos fan but have never been to a game at Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, KS or a Mile-High football game in Denver.

2.) I watch "John and Kate plus 8" on TLC with my wife. It is entertaining believe it or not.





3.) I cry when little children sing on stage.





4.) I've been in Mozart's childhood home.





5.) When my sister's high school b-ball team played their state playoff game at K-State's arena, I snuck on to the football field and ran around without getting caught.





6.) On the first date with my future wife we had to leave a movie theater because there wasn't enough people to watch it. We went bowling instead.





7.) I love WW II anything, especially the stories of veterans. I have talked to a marine who was on Iwo Jima during the real flag raising.(The story behind it is fascinating.) He talks to my history class every year.






8.) I am not a fan of mornings.





9.) I was a page(senator aid) in the Kansas Senate in Topeka during my eighth grade year.





10.) I could eat Taco Bell every night.







*Bonus 11.) I would like to join a martial arts class.





There ya go! Have fun with it.
