I'm really looking forward to watching the tourney this year, and the good thing about it is not worrying about my team! See, whenever the KSU Cats would play and eventually lose, I'd get really jaded towards the rest of the tourney, but now its better because you don't even have to get too happy or sad about any one game and can just enjoy basketball.

Canary and I were discussing this. I agree with the op. However, I'd rather my cats were in the field. This year I wouldn't be expecting much so I don't think it would ruin the whole tourney for me.
I mean, ideally yeah I'd love to watch the KSU Cats win all the games but back when we were in it, whenever we'd lose I'd be sad and not watch basketball for a round or two. NOW I CAN WATCH IT ALL!

there is nothing better than to have this dream on the night before the "madness" begins.
so, to use a baseball analogy, this thread just watched strike three go buzzing by and is outta here.

As for the Royals? I love 'em, but Spring Training doesn't really move the needle for me at all. It would probably be pretty fun to actually go to it though.

are the mlb playoffs more fun/better to watch without your team in it? lols. they suck to watch, regardless.

NCAA tourney is more of a binge watch event tho. Its different from all other postseasons in that way

Of course I miss making the torn-a-ment and actually winning a ballgame.

Can't believe anyone is even considering watching the tournament after John Oliver's dossierya sure, he's right. but he didn't tell us anything we didn't already know and also it's the NCAA tournament so I don't care.

People going on about John Oliver caused me to finally watch that thing. What a letdown. He is funny, though.
the NCAA bit is the one that got you to watch John Oliver? weird. his FIFA/world cup, & the net neutrality ones are both are top class

No, I just meant that the NCAA one was disappointing after seeing so much chatter on how great it is.

I'd like to change my vote. It's a lot of fun watching everyone lose like this with no consequences.
But what if the Cats were busy curb-stomping someone right now or something?

Its like, if the Cats were playing, I'd know exactly what to wear. I'd be like "Hey Mrs. CF3, make sure all my KSU shirts are clean k babe!" but now I'm just wearing a boring old pearl snap western shirt like every day.

Then they are like, "It was awesome!!! Yes/no I am/ am not going. Did your Wildcats make it? Who beat them in the opening round?"
Then I am like, "No man, the Cats turned down a bid for the CBI. We sucked hard this year."
Then they usually follow it up with, "Isn't oscar Weber your coach? That's too bad."
(This is very similar to 4 or 5 conversations I have had in the past 5 days.)

I voted #2. I live in a cultural mecca where a bunch of pretty good basketball programs exist, plus a bunch of people move into this area who like a bunch of other pretty good basketball programs. It sucks to have to see them wearing their teams' logos and tell them, "great game today! Are you going to go to the Sweet 16 next weekend?"

It's pretty great. Lots of opportunity professionally. I'm 20 minutes from some of the best college basketball, soccer, lacrosse in the country.
Beaches are close. DC is 4 hours. Skiing is 3-6 hours, depending on what you want. Appalachian Trail hikes. Very tolerable weather. Most areas are pretty affordable. Continuous growth.
Lots of start ups in the area. One of my buddies just started with a one last fall. They were about 3 years into it when he joined them. Another company bought them out on March 1. He is retained through May, then he is out of a job. Think he cares? NO! He just told me that he paid his house off and they are planning a summer of vacations, including 2 weeks in Italy, before he starts looking for something else to do. Those stories happen more here than any other place I have lived. Could be because I am older now and more likely to meet some of these people, but I think it has to do with the area I live in.

Losing to Wichita State would suck. And can't happen if you don't make the tournament!
It could at some point if we meet them in the NIT.

Wisconsin shooting the lights out was ridiculous and lucky. A friend actually asked me if Sam Delker should be a top 5 pick. I'm currently reevaluating our friendship.
