Maybe I’m wrong,
but all this NCAA men’s basketball bracket hoopla is a bunch of crap. Anywhere you go, from work to your I-pad, it’s
March Madness, so mad in fact that no one wonders how the tournament will
affect the course work of all these “student” athletes. Clare and her teammate Rachel have a monster
test this afternoon their professor has deigned to move up for them; if they
don’t pass the course, they don’t graduate regardless what the softball team
does this year. That’s what college is,
at least for everyone not a Division I athlete.
And maybe I’d feel differently if my daughter were one, too. Yes, maybe, but no child of mine would be
walking through life without finishing college if for simple fact that I’m
vain.
On a related
note (and, granted, a rough transition), Tigers’ shortstop Jose Iglesias has
been slowed this spring by persistent pain in his shins. Well, it appears he has hairline fractures
and is likely to miss significant time.
The consensus is Clare’s box-jumping last winter resulted in the same
injury. In that case, the baseball
player might want to see how the softball player managed the pain.
