The Madness of March

I have to admit, there's a small part of me that gets a little jealous when March Madness rolls around.  As someone who only just recently realized that a basketball game only has 2 periods, I don't have a clue how to properly fill out one of those grids.  Wait...grid isn't the right word, is it?  What are they called again? 

In college football, we get the mess of the BCS choosing who goes to the best bowl games at the end of the season.  College basketball gets a properly run playoff.

For me, the best part of march madness is knowing that I'm a mere 5 months of warm weather away from Opening Saturday of MY sport. 

I'll watch the final four cheering on either the ACC or the Big Ten (depending on teams of course) and then it's full speed ahead to August for me!

Talkin' Smack

I'm the Queen of Smack Talk.  I mean, come on!  I'm a buckeye - it's in our DNA!

My sophomore year at Virginia Tech, there was a mad dash to the bookstore because VT had decided to discontinue making T-shirts like:
"Friends don't let friends go to UVA" and "The Good (Hokie Bird) The Bad (WVU) The Ugly (Cavalier)" because they wanted to drive a promotion to supportive competition. 
Cool. 
I stocked up before I couldn't get them anymore.

Then I discovered smackapparel.com and my life changed.  My first discovery was a t-shirt that said, "Beating UVA: So easy a caveman can do it"  Check, I'll take one in a size small.

I'm all about friendly competition between schools and conferences, but you can't get much better a shirt that says "I'm too pretty to go to Bama"

Here I am modeling my fave #5 Superman (aka Tyrod Taylor) shirt:


Now, go to smackapparel.com and stock up for August!
