Best Two Days of the Sports Year

Tomorrow and Friday mark the highlight of a sports fan's year. 32 college basketball games will be played to kick off the NCAA tournament.

I remember in junior high when I brought a radio to school in an effort to get updates on the tournament games. I wired headphones under my shirt and placed on hand on the side of my head where the earpiece was and listened to games in study hall and in-between classes. In high school, I remember getting out of a class (thanks for a teacher who shared my passion for sports) to listen to a Wisconsin - Temple game. Thankfully, I have the internet at my fingertips at work, so I won't be far from the action this year.

My upset picks: Old Dominion (12) over Michigan State (5), UW-Milwaukee (12) over Alabama (5), Niagara (14) over Oklahoma (3), and UAB (11) over LSU (6).
