As I was looking over my bracket, I noticed something that I hadn't realized for a few years now. I don't get to go crazy for my work.
Some quick notes:
- I work in the higher education industry, and just in the past year have started paying closer attention to what other higher ed web persons are doing. So naturally many of them, especially those with teams in the tourney, are quite excited.
- I work at a Health Science Center. The students here have long given up on their athletic dreams. Because let's face it, if they could really shoot a basketball, they wouldn't here.
- UTHSC and UT (Knoxville) aren't the same. So don't suggest rooting for the Volunteers. My Mom and Dad raised me better than that.
Oh well, I can live vicariously through the tweets and blogs of my fellow higher ed web folks that work at institutions with athletics. And I also always have my alma mater, even more so during this time of year.
So... Go Tigers! and what a raw deal. 3 years in a row now we are stuck in a bracket playing a lower seeded team in their backyard. 2006 as a #1 seed and playing UCLA in Oakland. 2007 as a #2 seed playing A&M in San Antonio. And now 2008 as a #1 seed possibly playing Texas in Houston. Maybe the ole' ball coach is right with all this conspiracy talk:)
