I recall being aware of bits and pieces of NCAA Tournaments as a kid. The hype for the 1979 Indiana State/Michigan State game was hard to miss, for sure, but that final wasn't much of a game, and I don't recall anything about it. I have vague memories of reading about Kentucky's 1978 win over Duke in the final, but I couldn't tell you if I saw any of that game.
My first real memory of the tournament came in 1981. I saw this one live, or at least 33 years of lapsed recall lets me think I did. It was my very first dose of madness.
Let's be safe out there today, ladies and gentlemen.

I miss our Peeps tournament posts. We need some interns.
tomorrow, man
I'll do some live reporting from the 1:40 and 4:10 games here in Jax.
That's my friend Derek!!
He was seriously, the nicest guy in the biz of basketball. Still miss him.
I think my earliest tourney memory is 1986 and Duke's run to the championship game. I was a pretty bummed out 8 year old when I woke up the following morning and found out Pervis Ellison had destroyed Duke.
I remember watching a guy named Michael Jordan put on an athletic display for UNC in 1983 or 1984. I don't remember the opponent or the round but I've been a UNC fan ever since.
I'll never forget Gail Goodrich pouring in 42 against Mich in the final in '65.
well played, dad
Can't believe Northeastern is hanging in there. Go CAA.
That should be the Tribe
Fyibtdubs Marls y Rob, looking like LPH tmro afternoon for some "client entertainig". You guys practice law don't you?

crap. Was really hoping for a CAA win
and, Brey is looking like Eddie Munster these days
Might have been nice to get a shot off there NE.
what a miserable final possession by the Huskies
Maybe 2ish Rob - still confirming. Will shoot you guys a note.
you guys wanna hear about my brackets?
I'm done working for the week. It's 85 and sunny here. The tournament is in full swing and the Blue Angels are running maneuvers above my neighborhood. Not a bad day.
Maybe 2ish Rob - still confirming. Will shoot you guys a note.
Send a drone up there Mark. See what happens.
Pretty good game here w GA state and Baylor. If you see the guy with the blue wig and panty hose mask, I'm a few rows behind him.
Go irish. And uab.
Might have to add panty hose mask to my repertoire.
Danimal's already gotten his money's worth.
these games have been mucho fun-o
That just happened. GA state was down ten with 2 min. Wow.
that rj hunter shot is some kid's first memory of the ncaa tournament
time is a flat circle
Rob....including my 6 yo who is with me. He wasn't happy about it...he picked Baylor early and stuck with them. I think he'll be ok though.
Anyone else have GA St winning 2 in a big ass money pool? Just me?
U serious Clark?
VCU's tribal dancers are remarkable.
I'm an enormous D'Angelo Russell fan. Saw him play in HS and I knew he was good. Not this good though.
Yes but had VCU winning 3 in same pool. Dagger.
Either Roy Williams has eaten a fuckton of carrots, or he is half Oompa Loompan. (Oompan Loompan?)
In other news, I forgot to get any brackets done in time. Unfortunate consequence of being back in the swing of things at work.
This battle of schools that rejected me is pretty interesting all of a sudden.
I hear you on Stephen F Austin - Utah.
Harvard's cheerleaders are Tribesque.
Anybody with an Instagram account must must must follow "thefatjewish".
