The South Will Rise

I am not into basketball.  I did not go to a Division I college, except that we were Division I in squash.  In fact, Trinity holds the longest collegiate winning streak in history- 252 matches in 14 years.  They did not lose for 14 years.  I mean, that is amazing.  Maybe I can get a little geared up about Trinity squash, so I guess I can understand how people who went to these colleges still left in the March Madness thing, tournament, I don’t even know what you call it, can get so excited about it.  However, according to an article on CNN.com, March Madness could cost American companies $889.6 million in lost work because people are so preoccupied by the basketball and everything that goes along with it.  All the talk of the brackets is making me tired.  It was such a relief to read on the Garden & Gun (love!) website and see a fun take off of the whole bracket situation.  Here is the link to the article http://gardenandgun.com/southern-food-bracket.  I am a little late to the game on this because first round voting is already complete, but the gist is you get to vote on your favorite Southern foods in a bracket style- super fun!  So while I might be losing my company money (not really though) being preoccupied by a bracket, it will not be based on basketball.  That being said, I hope Kentucky wins.
