My teams were sweet, but not elite. My boys, Kentucky and Gonzaga made it to the sweet 16, but couldn't make it to the elite 8. Actually within minutes of each other, they were eliminated. Its OK, I tell myself. I've learned to just go to my denial place. I don't believe they won, I just feel those games never happened. It works for me. Another comforting thought - If you're going to lose, lose early. The farther you advance and then lose, the more painful it is.
And what are your chances anyway? You have a 1 in 2x2x2x2x2x2 chance of winning. You can do the math. Its not good. And that is if you made the tournament. There are hundreds of colleges that didn't. Only one college ends up happy, and that will probably be some jerk school like Duke that has already won way more than their share.
So that's done. Now its on to the NBA playoffs and root on my Trailblazers until I have to go into denial with them too.
