One of Several Games I Watched

Normally, I’m not much of a sports fan—except for the World Cup and the Summer Olympics. Yet, every time I visit my brother in the desert, there is some orgiastic sports contest such as the World Series or March Madness. This time, it was March Madness, in which sixty-four collegiate basketball teams vie for the best in the country.

What was on view during my visit was the second round in which thirty-two teams attempt to become one of the “Sweet Sixteen.” I dunno, maybe “Sweat Sixteen” would be more appropriate.

All the games this last weekend run together in my mind, though I did watch part of the Ole Miss vs. Saint Mary’s game (illustrated above), though I have no memory of any plays made during the game. I do know that, as per usual, there were many personal fouls called and many partially successful attempts to capitalize on them via free throws.

In return for all the second round games I sampled, I will studiously avoid next weekends game. In all probability, I will probably not make any effort to find out which team survived the ordeal.
