To All Those Teams Who Toil Behind the Heralded Teams

I admit that I'm captivated by March Madness, but I always root for the underdog-- the school that no one gives a chance. The lowest seed to ever win March Madness was Villinova as an eighth seed. Suppose one of these days all became unhinged and a fifteen or sixteen seed won the whole tournament?

But if an eight seed won once perhaps a ninth or tenth seed could pull off an incredible upset. Whether that happens or not depends upon so many variables : the position of the moon, the alignment of the planets, the dreams of all of us who never even win a scratch ticket prize worth more than one dollar.

Here's to all those who toil behind the heralded ones. Occasionally the kingpins fall off the edge of the planet.

Yesterday two fifteen seeded teams upset two heralded teams -- both two seeds.

Maybe this is the year.
