Being fan of professional basketball in central Kansas is a lonely, lonely experience. I’ve been here long enough that it doesn’t surprise me when open wheel racing gets as much airtime as the NBA playoffs on the nightly news. Still, apart from watching the games as they’re aired on ABC and reading recaps on the internet, it’s hard to find material for a halfway decent basketball column in April.
That KU-North Carolina game sure was quite the nailbiter, wasn’t it? Practically everyone I talked to leading up to Saturday night had KU over Carolina.
Basketball is a strange, strange sport in the second-to-last week of March. But even with the chaos going on in the Midwest Regional of the NCAA tournament, the strangest basketball happenings are happening in the NBA.
We've officially hit March Madness. It's never official until CBS puts the darkhorse flavor of the month on TV screens nationwide and completely overhypes a decent team’s chances in the NCAA tournament.
There are two Internet videos I’ve been watching almost daily since the first time I saw them.
One is an animation of the various internet browser logos acting like morons until Firefox finally gets fed up with the rest of them and tells them all to shut up.
