March Madness is here!!!!!!!!!

For those of you who know me really well, I am a huge and I mean really huge sports fan. The first thing I read in the morning in the newspaper is the sports page to check to see how all of my teams did the night before. Sports runs in my blood all day and every day.

So for me, you ask why is March so special to me, why do I wait so patiently for it every year? It has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day or the first day of Spring, but college basketball. In the month of March is the NCAA basketball tournament for both the men and women. This time is amazing because of all the buzzer beating games, guessing who will win the national title to an underdog team upsetting a higher seed. It is an adrenaline rush for about 3 weeks.

For the men's tournament two of our local schools made the big dance, Gonzaga as a 7 seed and Washington State as a 4 seed. In my opinion both teams should go really far and I will be routing for them each and every step of the way. For the women's tournament, we don't have any local teams representing, but some of my favorite teams are going to be there. We do have a local girl who plays for the University of Tennessee who is in the big dance. I can't wait for the rest of the nation to see her as I have watched her play in high school and now in her first year at Tennessee. It will all be so much fun and only three more days until it starts.

In the women's tournament one of the regions is Spokane, WA. Spokane will be hosting two sweet 16 games and one elite 8 game. Now one of my favorite teams is Maryland. They have a great team that has amazing chemistry and is just an all rounded talented team. They have always been a joy to watch. Now I had two teams that I wanted to come to Spokane and they were Tennessee and Maryland. If all works out, one of my favorite teams will be playing in Spokane and that is Maryland. I was very awestruck when I found out, I just couldn't believe it. Now I just can't wait until they get here at the end of the month.

I better go as I still have my brackets to fill and need to go to bed. May God bless you through this upcoming week and I will keep you updated on both the men and women's NCAA basketball tournaments. Until next time, trust God in everything that you do. Remember that he loves you very much. ~T-Money~
