I heard the grumbling and understood the complaint:  no top seed, no 2nd seed  - not good for the opening round of the NCAA tournament at the Forum...

Well, what do you think now?  We forgot about that 12-5 seed upset trend, forgot about what makes the opening days of this tournament the best days in all of sports. 

It's the college kids -  like Drake's Adam Emmenecker, he of the 4 majors - like Western Kentucky's D.J. Magley, the freshman from Bradenton Christian.... It's these kids playing with everything they've got - win or lose.   Their pure excitement's contagious. 

Then, when you throw in a buzzer-beater like WKU's overtime win over Drake - that's when you remember all the magic of March Madness.  And we went 4-for-4 with upsets at the Forum Friday.... unbelievable! 

I don't hear anyone complaining now.
