March Madness Cinderella Story Begins Tonight

Once again, my alma mater, Iona College, has qualified for the big dance; they play tonight against the #1 seeded Tar Heels. The Gaels have now qualified for the tournament four years running, which is an amazing accomplishment for the school. They always field a talented and scrappy bunch, always outsized by their first opponent (always a #1 seed). The odds aren’t good, but maybe, just maybe, this is the year the Davids make national news by knocking off a Goliath. (IMHO, rooting for North Carolina tonight is like rooting for Biff in Back to the Future. Who would do such a thing? McFly all the way!)
