It’s Okay to Think March Madness has Disappointed

Shower Thought - March 31, 2025

"I had a goal last year to get back to my roots and start watching the cubs everyday again. So I got the MLB package and started watching the Cubs every night. And I went on the message board and I said does it bother anyone else how Cody Bellinger always strides wide like even on an outside pitch? He's constantly fouling off strikes on the outside corner. A nice little observation. Dipping my toes into the swap. Here's what I got back...You're stupid haven't you seen his vorp+ War, and his weighted runs above average? You idiot? What are you complaining about. Go look at his LGBAT+ you moron. And I went into the fetal position on the floor. Don't mess with analytic message boarders.

This is how I feel now when I complain about how this march madness stunk. Are you kidding me Ken Pom says this final four has the best offensive defensive efficiency rating of all time, haven't you looked at the four factors index? Don't you subscribe to Bernie Fine dot blogspot.com?? These are the best teams they should be playing in the final four, enough with the cinderella talk! And I say listen, if I wanted to watch the best teams play against each other, I would have watched the regular season! Auburn and Florida already played each other twice! I watched none of it. Every night in the SEC and the Big 10 and the ACC the best teams played marquee matchups and Digger Phelps was there and Bill Raftery and the other guy. Nobody watched. I want to be surprised in March, I want it to be mad... I don't wanna be lectured by a bunch of message boarders."
