We’re getting close, folks! We’re getting close! After the 2020 tournament was canceled because of coronavirus, we’re about two months away from 2021 action.
For fans of college basketball, we all know March Madness is the pinnacle.
Opening weekend is pure debauchery for millions of degenerate men around the country. That’s just a fact. Back in college, we would start drinking at the tip of the first game and we didn’t stop until we passed out.
Would I advise binge drinking like we did for March Madness? Well, that’s not my call to make, but I’m telling you we certainly had fun.
Ultimately, we just need to make sure the games happen. Above all else, we need the games to happen, and setting concrete dates brings us one step closer to that reality.
