Mad About the Madness

You know, it's strange how it feels as though the entire country is waiting with bated breath for the NCAA Tournament to tip off - everyone is in an office pool, concocting ways to catch glimpses of the games at lunch or from their work computers - and then you see the Xavier-Georgia game on TV, and when the camera does a cutaway, you see tens of fans littering the seats.

Seriously, the arena was like three-quarters empty.

What's wrong with the fans in D.C.? They don't like March Madness? What on earth is going on out there?

It's a shame, too, because you know that with Kansas-Portland State getting out of hand quickly, they didn't have much choice but to show UGA-Xavier.

March Madness deserves better.
