Because:

1) I always like watching Ohio State beat Michigan.

2) We’re about to embark upon the most fun three weeks of basketball all year (starting tonight, when Robert Morris hosts Kentucky in an NIT game).

3) We’re just about 45 hours away from the start of the Eighth Annual Uncle Crappy NCAA Final Four Challenge (Brought To You By Bocktown). Entries are just now starting to trickle in. With a Bocktown gift card to be awarded to the winner, make sure you’re not missing out — get your picks in soon, boys and girls. Need details? They’re here.
