For many sports fans, the NCAA Tournament is one of the best times of the year.

The excitement of following your office pools, watching for upsets and seeing if your favorite team can make a run towards the final four is one of the greatest things in athletics.

The players aren't making millions of dollars like in the NBA and are playing the game for the love and not wanting the season to come to an end.

The tourney starts today, with games already going and not stopping until late tonight. What is your favorite thing about the NCAA Tournament?

Hey hilly, whats ur final four ? I dont do the bracket but I am thinking, Memphis,Duke,UNC and still dont have a fourth.

Wake, Memphis (not looking good right now), Duke, UNC. As a Duke fan I had to pick the Blue Devils to win it all.

Looks like Memphis is going to pull this out. That would have destroyed a lot of brackets.

I am watching the lsu/butler game and Butler got some game. Thought it would be a blow out after first two minutes but its close. I am a Michigan fan but cant pick em for the final four. Texas A&M might suprise people but cant pick em for final four either. I bet u picked wake coz Obama did, Hahahah.

Hilly, don't tell me that in addition to being a Republican that your also a Duke fan.

I also like the Yankees, Daniel. I think my goal is to be hated by all Democrats :)

Back at the Ranch.
I'm pulling for Michigan in the games right now. I'm stuck watching American and Nova, but will be following former Sutherland star C.J. Lee at Michigan. The Wolverines are in a tight one with Clemson right now.

I am doing the same. ran outta chips though....

This Mercer kid for American is awesome. He's the smallest kid on the floor but is dominating this game

Whew, at least we can agree on something Hilly.

Go Yanks!

All my liberal friends like the Sox. Daniel, you might be able to come around after all.

I had a friend point out that my final four wouldnt work coz two teams are from same conference or some crap. Boy its a good thing this website isnt paying for a sports writer......
