5 Things To Hate About March Madness

March Madness is quickly approaching and, as exciting as it is, there are some things that are to be dreaded. In the end it will still be the mecca of sporting events, but not without a price. Here are 5 things that most sports fans will relate to hating when watching the NCAA tourney.

Dick Vitale (BABY!)

Dick Vitale will get on the nerves of any non-Duke fan or any non-fan of the current number one team. Simply put Dickie V is a bandwagon fan/announcer. Not only that, it makes me want to dig my eyes out with rusty spoons when he gets excited and goes on one of his retarded rants where everything is “diaper dandies”  or “dipsy-doo dunk-a-roo”. Please Dick V STFU.

Work or School

Nothing sucks worse than to be at work or school knowing there is a metric shit ton of games on TV. It has led many to use the Interwebs to get their round ball fix risking a job to see their favorite team beat up on a school that only has 400 students enrolled. I don’t know the numbers behind it, but I would be willing to bet that March is the highest month for work place absence.

Split Screen Coverage

Don’t you hate it when your team finally comes on, they build a ten point lead and then CBS decides that viewers would rather see a more competitive game and you get switched to the Siena and Davidson game instead? Or worse they drop about 5 games onto the screen and it’s one big cluster fuck. I know it’s all about the ratings, but that doesn’t change the fact I want to see Kentucky slaughter some small school!

The Play-In Game

IT SERVES NO PURPOSE!! It’s like letting the crippled kid on the team that has road the bench all season get a chance to play with 30 seconds left in the game during the last game of the season when the team is up by 30;  nothing changes. It’s the field of 64, not 65. Only good thing that can even remotely come of it is we get to see a game on the Tuesday before the tourney starts, but after two weeks of games is that really going to matter either? NO.

Duke

Yeah, that may be harsh, but Duke could very easily be the most hated school in the country. That’s not a bad thing if you are a Duke fan…I guess. The picture above? Yeah, that’s Christian Laettner, he’s a cock gobbler and one of the biggest reasons for the universal Duke hate. You don’t even have to be a Kentucky fan to not want to kick him in the teeth every time his name is mentioned.
