It's better than Christmas morning!
My favorite day of the year is the first day of the NCAA tournament.
I feel like a little kid getting up early on Christmas morning and rushing to see what's under the tree.

Now gimme my games!!!!!

Ditto here Navada. It is my true definition of couch potato. Do you have the direct TV deal where you watch all the games at once?

Hoorah.....
While I may be at work, and not at home on the couch, the internet allows me to be sufficiently distracted. Let's get it on!

For the first time in my life, I'm avoiding the tourney this year. I didn't even fill out a bracket. Dealing with the idiot Billy Gillispie and Kentucy's ho hum year has sucked the life out of me. Hopefully he gets canned and we get John Calipari to get back where we're supposed to be.

Till then.....is it (gasp) football season yet?

The first round should be a national holiday, IMO.

It's the most wonderful time of the year. (Apologies to Andy Williams.)

I'll be enjoying Monday night, when your Wildcats come to Omaha, and finds just how hostile the environment is at the Qwest Center, even if Creighton is on Spring Break!

For me, the NCAA Tournament surpasses everything else in sports. The NFL Playoffs aren't even close.

A better idea: Take a half day on Thursday and a half day on Friday and only burn one leave day!

Can't be anymore of a hostile environment than Lexington is for them right now! I wouldn't be surprised if we are looking for a new coach on Tuesday. YEAH!!!

I wouldn't go that far. Other than the obvious,

Christmas morning means that the World Junior tournament is only one day away (Dec 26), which lasts longer than the tournament.

Christmas morning also means that we're in NFL playoffs.
