For some people, especially sports enthusiasts March is the most exciting time of the year. This is because the biggest college basketball tournament and championship take place. While some people feel that all of the hype surrounding the tournament is needless and irrelevant I personally like the way it gets people involved. I feel closer to any other sporting event or program when I choose them to win my bracket than anything else. It’s also special because anyone and everyone can choose to fill out a March Madness bracket and share their predictions. In my family we all choose to pay $5 in a pot and whoever of the 25 of us who usually participate gets to keep the prize if their bracket is correct.
I think that March Madness is very important because it allows people to come together and be entertained which was the initial point of sports. ESPN is now one of the most highly regarded news services because they strive to produce shows and entertainment for everyone. With March Madness people get so involved and passionate about a sport and teams that it really is something I cherish. While the girls I know tend to choose teams based on one attractive player they know, color of the jersey, or whether or not they’ve heard of the school; others of us put thought and effort into following the teams throughout the entire season and then predicting and hoping for the best.
March Madness is a time to get together with family and friends to compare favorite teams, and hope that an upset doesn’t occur. In the end it’s just a fun time to appreciate the players and coaches who dedicate so much time and effort to the sport. It’s one of my favorite past times and traditions. It’s a time for everyone to feel the same feelings of anticipation and hope for a result that no one can really predict. Who do you think will win?
