I have warned many times about the guaranteed dangers of betting with your heart instead of your head - big darkness, soon come - but every once in a while you get a fair chance to have it both ways, and the annual NCAA basketball Tournament is one of them.
The Final Four is what we play for. That's what we're trying to do. That's what's important.
March Madness is an incredible three weeks. I firmly believe it's the greatest three weeks in sports. You have the Super Bowl; you have the World Series.
Here at CBS, spring also means March Madness. I love the name March Madness. I'm glad the PC police haven't made us change March Madness to early spring psychosis.
The Allstate March Mayhem Challenge is a great, great bracket challenge.
I just love playoff basketball.
The really amazing part, to me, was when Florida made it into the Final Four, the Democrats didn't demand a recount.
You don't make it to the Final Four two years in a row by mistake.
President Obama filled out his March Madness bracket. You can tell Obama's mind is elsewhere because his top two picks were Israel and Iran.
For a college basketball player or coach, to reach the Final Four is la-la land. You’ve achieved, you’ve got your stamp of approval. My first team to do that was in 1986. Then we did it in ’88, ’89 and ’90.
If you go to the Final Four, you can lose 20 games and it doesn't matter.
A Final Four would be pretty amazing.
Well, we went to the Final Four in '96. As a college kid, that's what you dream about.
It's a big deal to get to the NCAA Tournament.
March is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a 'gentleman gambler' when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely... There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.
When I was in high school watching college games, I was like 'I can't wait to get to March Madness.'
I've always taken the approach that it's about the seed in the NCAA tournament.
Everyone dreams of playing March Madness and playing in those tournaments, big-time games.
