For those of you who follow college basketball – or even if you don't – I would not have thought that the epicenter of interest was the Midwest and environs:[html][/html]
Perhaps you've all heard about Warren Buffett offering $1 billion to a person who could pick a perfect March Madness bracket. The odds of doing it are astronomical, so more than likely no one will get the money. But let's consider a hypothetical – you've correctly picked the winners of all the games going into the Final Four. Say Warren Buffett offers you $10 million if you will back out of the competition at that point, thereby taking yourself out of the running for the $1 billion. Do you accept?
No, I would not take it. In for a penny, in for a pound.
Well, I would take it. My reasoning is that the impact such a change would have on my lifestyle (from my current level of income to $10 million) would be far greater than the difference between having $10 million and $1 billion. Obviously, having $1 billion allows you to buy a heck of a lot more things than having $10 million does, but in either case you'd move beyond mere “need” in life.
Relooking at the map I guess it is odd that I am from Oklahoma and could care less about basketball, college or otherwise. It is ten dudes running around on a court to me and about as exciting as watching paint dry.
For me, basketball is a sport which is more fun to play than to watch. As for college bb, most of the excitement comes simply from following which teams win or lose, rather than assessing the execution of the games (if that makes sense).
I guess it kind of makes sense.Some people, (My Son) think I am strange because I love watching NCAA football but almost never watch the NFL.
