Here is one of many weird things about me. I do not watch college basketball in the regular season but I enjoy March Madness. I have, before teams moving hither and thither watched college football in the regular season and less so the playoffs.
Why? There are a few reasons. First, I think March Madness does not have the same stink of corporate greed as the college football cash grab. Or at least that initial greed has worn off in my mind.
It is also that due to the lesser amount of games played that the importance of footballs regular season is far more than the college basketball one where the Madness is where the rubber hits the road. You also can’t discount that most college hoopers are done when that final buzzer sounds, whereas gridiron heroes have round after round of the NFL draft to look towards.
I have two beer lanes to choose. First, grab a beer from a college town like a Eugene or Berkeley. Or search a little harder to find a Marzen style beer out there to watch the shining moments from this years games.
