Opening Day of NCAA's has been one of my favorite days of the year for the past 45 years.  St Patricks Day is also one of my favorite days.  The times they have been the same have been among the best days ever.  Of course I'll watch.  There is nothing like watching potential huge upsets going down to the wire at the same time.  I am a fan of 4 different schools SU, Ohio (my school), UC (wife and son's school and city lived in for 34 years) and Vanderbilt (son works in AD).   I'm 0-fer this year.  Also have not filled out a bracket yet (I will). First time that I did not have blank bracket sheets I filled out live as they were announced and had my first bracket(s) completed within an hour or so.   And yes, I know that the full bracket has been available to print online as soon as announced for many many years but I've always made my own.  So have my 2 sons.  None of us did this year.  So to your question...absolutely.  It's a gut punch.  And I've seen it coming like a haymaker for several weeks.  But that doesn't help.

What little solace it is at least I know that neither Thursday or Friday will end up being among my worst NCAA days ever.  Those days ended in Western Kentucky, Penn, Navy, Rhode Island, Richmond, Vermont.

So again...yes I'll watch.  And I'll be cheering for every 12-16 seed in the tournament to take down a supposed giant.  LGO!
