If the Hoosiers were as good as the Mountaineers I would be... but, no... I'm not. :-?

I assume you're referring to the upcoming Buffett ticket on-sale dates...

hmmm I thought there were more college basketball fans than this on this board. :( :(

Well, IMO, March Madness is the most exciting thing going on in sports! Bring it on!

Go Mountaineers!

Typically, this is my favorite month of the year. However, this year I just want it to get over so I can look forward to the next college basketball season. As soon as the final four is over, we can focus on IU hiring a new coach and hopefully restoring tradition to the greatest college basketball program in the country. Can't wait until October. War anybody but Puke.

I am disappointed about the Hoosiers this year, BUT I am totally stoked for March Madness. Can't wait to pick my bracket.

And Southern Illinois gets to beat Indiana again next year.....just like we did the last time these teams played!

BTW...for those of you who get Fox Sports Midwest on your cable lineup, there's some great basketball today and tomorrow with the first two round of the Missourri Valley Conference tournament. The final is Sunday on CBS.

Go Salukis!!!!

I'll at least have to catch the final on Sunday!

Big East tourney starts next Wednesday. My Mountaineers earned a bye after beating Pitt on Monday (woohooo I was THERE!) so they play on Thursday night at Madison Square Garden. The BE Tourney is always nuts!

Yes I'm with you Melli!!!!!!

This is one of my favorite times of year for sure. March madness, JB tour dates annouced and gearing up for several of my favorites hobbies in April!!

The Buckeyes have surprised some people this year by playing team ball, defense and one of the best coaches in the country. And hopefully, IU will not be able to pull him away. With the recruiting class Matta has coming in next year, I don't think he will leave but he IS from Indiana......

Rick and I are ready for it to start as you never know what will happen. Just like the FSU (unranked) over Duke #1 the other night.

And there is nothing like college fans to get you into the game.

Hope the SEC fairs well in the tourney this year...UGA will be lucky to get into the NIT :( But we will still watch.
