Last evening during dinner, GolfGuy and I were discussing the upcoming NCAA basketball tournament, the brackets, the seedings, and so forth. We both have some BB in our backgrounds - he played it in high school as did at least 2 of his 4 brothers and I was at Kansas State during the time of Tex Winter and the triple-post offense and BB was the big deal as K-State football was so freakin' lousy at that time. So we both tend to associate skill and strategy with the game -but no technque involved nowadays as the mass of huge, overpaid thugs thunders up and down the court, pushing and shoving and slamming the ball at the basket. Thus, we don't watch or follow pro or college versions - except at March Madness time when we search out the least likely, biggest underdog team/school to root for.
GolfGuy mentioned an article he had read that morning in the SinCity paper concerning the fact that surgeons say March Madness time is the busiest period of the year for vasectomies! Seems all the 20 and 30 something arrested-adoloescent-development males all the wretched beer commercials (Budweiser horses exempted from wretchedness) are so fond of have discovered that the 2-3 day recovery period from the procedure is the perfect excuse to miss work, etc. and vege out on BB. As one such prime example put it, "Sure beats watching Oprah all day."
