Hoop-Head madness

The three week NCAA men's basketball tournament is almost over. It seems that everybody has a favorite in the tournament and my favorite is always the Texas Longhorns when they are good enough to even make it to the tournament.
I am not a Hoop-Head but a lot of people in America sure are. Sometimes I think all those Hoop-Heads have double dribbled one to many times. They think all 65 tournament teams have an equal shot at winning the championship game. Half of the 65 teams are division champions who come from school who spend a ton of money on their sports programs. The other half of the teams come from schools who spend as little as possible on their sports teams. Wake up and smell the leather, Hoop-Heads! Everybody knows that a rich daddy provides a head start. It does not take long to get a pretty good idea of who came to win, who came to play and who just showed up.
The joy in victory nor the desolation in defeat dose not make this tournament addictive for me. As far as I am concerned they could start the tournament with four teams that were picked from a national poll. It really doesn't matter because the champion is usually determined by a lucky bounce, a ref's bad call or an injury. By next year we will have forgotten who won the tournament anyway.
