Those crazy Buckeyes

I know there’s a method to the Madness.
March Madness that is. Oh I almost forgot March Madness©® I don’t know whether the NCAA copyrighted or trademarked March Madness©® so I’ll use both symbols whenever I use their phrase.
But who came up with the schedule for the Ohio State-Tennessee game last night?
Two teams in the Eastern Time Zone and they don’t tip it off until 10:20 p.m.?
The game didn’t end until I think around 12:30 a.m. but it was a dandy as the Buckeyes pulled out an 85-84 win over the Vols. I know everything the NCAA Tournament does, it does it for high TV ratings but I’m sure how OSU-Tennessee starting at 10:20 p.m. fits into that equation.
I’m sure there were more than a few bleary-eyed people at work across the state this morning after staying up to watch the end of the game. I think were also quite a few people who may have saw how far behind the Buckeyes were at halftime and decided to hit the hay.
Well if the last couple of games have been any indication you can’t ever count the Buckeyes out.
Here’s hoping Thad Matta still has his rabbit’s foot and the Buckeyes’ luck hasn’t yet run out.

NOTEWORTHY: Best of luck to Liberty-Benton and Upper Sandusky tomorrow at Value City Arena. Actually, for some reason I think both teams come back home as champions tomorrow.

Have a great weekend everyone I’ll be back on Monday.
