March Sadness
Usually March finds me walking down the block to POLO house, wearing Cowboy orange and carrying an ice chest. No matter what time of day the games came on, their was always a crowd gathering for March Madness. Often we were cheering for our beloved Cowboys or another conference team.
But this year has been different.
Watching Cowboy basketball during the last half of the season was like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You were horrified at the sight of the wreck in progress. But yet you watched with a glimmer of hope - wishing for a miracle that would make the outcome different. But, alas, the outcome was as you feared. No Big Dance invitation and a first round defeat in the NIT.
I am sad.
Other changes have also occurred that have made this March sad. Several of the fans have gone to work at real jobs and are no longer as free to gather on weekday afternoons for the festivities. And our weekends have been scattered with other obligations.
I miss the madness.
But today, I will don my newly purchased Georgetown t-shirt and become a Hoya fan.
I can't completely go without the madness!
