With my team being Cal, I generally have nothing to cheer about in March, anyway. This year I at least got to see my boys get to the Tourney and make it through the first round before being crushed by Dook. I don't even hate Duke as I learned many of you do, but (at least for the next round) I am now a full-fledged Purdue fan and hope the Boilermakers can do what my Golden Bears could not.
Meanwhile, in the NFL world...
