It was the best of times, it was the worst of times...

In my world March Madness (that would be the NCAA basketball tournament for you non-sports types or people who live on Mars
) is second only to Christmas time. I could watch all 64 games and not get sick of it. I love everything about it. I love the office pool - in which I usually do quite well, by the way (this year I intend to win). I love the Cinderella teams. I love the cheesy stories about the hard-luck guy from Who's-ever-heard-of-it State that make you want them to win so badly. Ah, yes, March Madness is definitely the best of times.
Being a Missouri State Bears fan - the worst of times. For those of you not familiar with my Bears, last year we beat our OWN (doesn't seem possible, does it?) record as the highest-ranked team not to get into the tournament. Sadly, it appears that we've set ourselves up for another such scenario this year. I invest so much time and energy in these guys for 4 months, for what, a trip to the NIT?!! So sad. Perhaps next year I'll cheer for Kansas or North Carolina instead.
My husband is still optimistic and thinks they will get in. He thinks I'm a pessimist - I think he needs a reality check. 1 hour, six minutes and counting until we know who's right. Say your prayers for the Bears and I'll keep you posted!
