Thursday was going to be glorious. Same with Friday. The two days of the NCAA Tournament’s opening round. My two favorite sports days of the year.
I love New Year’s Day. Heck, any college football Saturday. I love the back-to-back days of the first two weekends of the NFL playoffs. I love the back-to-back days of the first two weekends of the NBA playoffs. I love the back-to-back days of the final two rounds of every golfing major. I love the back-to-back Fridays at the Big House during the state basketball tournaments; eight semifinals each day.
But I love the NCAA Tournament’s first round the most.
