March Madness 2013, do I care? Sort of.
I don't follow any sport but baseball but being in Clarksville, Indiana, I live too close to Louisville, Ky. to ignore March Madness. Basketball, to me, is grown men in shorts, who dribble. However, I do hope Louisville wins the National Championship. Reasons? The entire state is basketball obsessed, it's either Louisville Cardinals or Kentucky Wildcats. (& sometimes at the border, Indiana Hoosiers as major rivals, as long as the coach knows how to correctly throw a chair). It's a shame no one here really supports the minor league Reds team at Slugger Field (one of the best minor league parks in the nation). It's like Alabama & football. I found by living in Birmingham that you can't drive into Alabama & only stop to get gas without the attendant asking you, "You for Alabama or Auburn?" Well, Louisville is my "hometown team" and the city will be unbearable if they don't win. Kentucky fans will cackle and the Louisville fans will either become internet trolls who will blame their final opponents of some sort of cheating or bad official calls, or they will become so depressed that there will be mass suicides across the city. If they do win, Everyone in town will be pleasant, even if they do text more while driving, but Papa Johns Pizza will give me a 45% discount for an online pizza order the day after the Cards win. Go Cards!!!!!! |
